"I really appreciate how you walked me through many effective writing techniques. The things I learned from you, I now use in my everyday life to improve my articulation and storytelling. Before you helped me, one of my friends flamed how bad I was at writing; recently, when I showed him my new piece, post-tutoring, he said my writing skills improved a lot. 

Josephine Cheng is very poggers!"

“Working with Jo made my application process engaging and stress-free. She helped me refine my essays with concise storytelling while keeping vivid details intact. Her guidance elevated my writing to a level I didn't think was possible; she's truly a miracle worker!

Thank you again for all your help! Even though I came to you on such late notice, you still offered and managed to help me finish everything in time; I couldn't be happier with the results!”

"Even though English is my second language, Josephine was able to help me communicate my strengths in a clear way that showcased my potential. I was particularly nervous about applying for an Education scholarship as a non-native English speaker, but Josephine helped me perfectly capture my strengths and ambitions without overpromising."

"As a student pursuing STEM, I never felt like writing was a strength of mine. But Jo was able to help me communicate my goals and passions in my college admissions essay in a way that made writing much easier than I expected.

I actually found the exercise helpful for internship applications and job interviews I had later down the line after starting college.

Thanks, Jo!”

"Working with Jo took the stress away from my fellowship application and made me a more confident writer. She helped me elevate my story enough to earn a fellowship.

This was my first experience finally getting accepted to a scholarship or fellowship, and it really showed me how important my application essay was to the process.”

"With Jo, I was able to frame my academic history positively and emphasize my growth. I went through a difficult period in life that affected my grades, and I used my personal statement to add more context to my life and experience.

I believe this storytelling played a pivotal role in securing my acceptance into my dream school. My acceptance letter even mentioned parts of my essay they liked!”

“Working with Jo made the college application process feel far less daunting.

She accommodated my preferences by helping me set realistic deadlines and a writing schedule that greatly improved my productivity. She also elevated my writing while preserving my original voice, and every meeting felt both reassuring and enjoyable.

With her guidance, I developed a clearer vision of what I wanted to convey and felt more confident by the end of the application season.”
