testimonials from past clients

Ms. De vine will be an asset to your life, especially in one-on-one coaching with personal statements.  Deciding to work with her has been the most instrumental decision that has impacted my B-school applications the most. Contact her now, you won't regret it at all. 

During our time together, I learned so many skills and experienced a new version of myself. Throughout the process, I have also reconnected with my love for writing, something that is wholly attributed to Ms. De Vine's work. In fact, even after submitting my personal statements, I have decided to continue working with Ms. De Vine to craft my writing skills because I entrust her and her talent wholeheartedly. 

Ms. De Vine took my personal statement from average to outstanding, where I needed to not drown in an endless sea of other applicants. 

I started working with Ms. De Vine because I needed accountability; what I got were six outstanding applications that truly conveyed who I am, what I can contribute, and where I am headed. 

Ms. De Vine is more than a writing coach, she is an advocate and an intuitive who masterfully dissects cryptic prompts and helps you dig deeper into who you are and what you want. Working with Ms. De Vine took my applications from mediocre to meticulous and regardless of what happens, I feel extremely confident about what I submitted. 

Ms. De Vine has a toolbox filled with abundant resources, such as a strategic roadmap to streamline the personal statement process into digestible action items. She has an uncanny ability to elicit the best writing ideas from her clients while simultaneously making the process enjoyable.  I found her to be positive, empathetic, and proactive in all of our sessions which only made me want to work harder. 

She is forward-thinking, very knowledgeable in her craft, and connects with people on a dynamic level.  Be prepared to be in awe of her editing skills; this step is what makes her so exceptional and can even classify her as a magician! 

If you are looking for that extra something to take your personal statement to the next level, Ms. De Vine is it. Her intuitive process dives deep into not only what your statement is missing, but what you as a writer are missing, and acts to correct it then and there.

Her dedication and personal investment in seeing her students grow is what puts her above anyone else I have worked with.

Ms. De Vine is hands-down the best writing coach I have ever had. In addition to her help with my college essays, I was her student in my senior year of high school in AP English Literature. I saw more improvement that year than I had ever seen before, and her teaching continues to benefit me as a student writing at a college level.

My personal statement was hands down the most intimidating part of the college application process for me. I had a jumbled list of ideas in my head with no clue where to begin. Tylene not only helped me write and edit a personal statement that got me into my of the schools that I applied to, but she helped me create a personal statement that was effective and presented colleges with a direct reflection of who I am as a person. I'm so grateful that I was a product of her De Vine Intervention.
