Ileshaa pushes hard with questions, discussions, (both which require introspection and research); she shows you the direction you need to take; she converts the uncertain to certain; she draws out who you are and the special in you; she will not negotiable on quality; and she, quite simply, reduces the stress. 

 It is actually wonderful to work with her because you see your child acquire the confidence and the skill to bring themselves to life on paper, and do justice to all their semesters and years of effort.

She gets my highest endorsement, and 7 stars!

Signing on with Ileshaa was the best decision I made in the college application process. Not only is her writing brilliant and unique but also, in my experience, her ‘uncommon’ ideas told my story in the most extraordinary way that I couldn’t help but fall in love with the work.

And at the end of 4 months of edits and self-reflection, I can definitely say that I have found not simply an editor but rather a friend and a most prolific writer that I look up to.

Working with Ileshaa has been perhaps the best part of my college application experience. During a time fraught with exams, projects and more, it was difficult to channel my creativity in order to write an essay in which I could truly express myself.

Ileshaa made the process so organic that I forgot about time constraints and the ideas just flowed. She helped me connect various extracurricular activities and interests to form a cohesive application for each college. Her eye for detail enables the essay to truly stand out and be ‘uncommon’.

Thus, I truly recommend working with her. You will not regret it!”
