Testimonials

“Mori was an excellent tutor for my college application journey! Her insightful feedback and personalized guidance transformed my ideas into a compelling statement that truly showcased my voice. Mori’s expertise allowed me to feel confident with the essays I submitted, which allowed me to gain scholarships and admission to my top colleges.”

“Words cannot express how extraordinarily helpful, supportive and effective Mori has been with my high school boys and my college son. Two of the three were applying to college and one to graduate school. They all have very different personalities and learning styles, but with that said, they all were very excited to work with Mori for as long as was needed. And, I was never involved!! Mori succeeded in helping them attain their extremely competitive goals with patience, clarity of ideas, and undaunted perseverance. We appreciate and love Mori!”

“We never ever ever ever ever could have done this without you, Mori. Your talent is unbelievable and you brought out the best in our son on paper with such brilliance and ease. He is off to Duke next year! You were such a pleasure to work with and we really appreciate you!”

“I cannot recommend working with Mori Writes enough. I’m the first one in my family to apply to business school, and I thought it would be beneficial to work with someone that could help me frame my story. Mori’s ability to parse through my drafts to ensure my voice rang true in the most cogent way elevated my essays to the next level. She is gifted at providing positive and constructive feedback, and her diligence, thoroughness, and dedication allowed me to craft the strongest narrative. As a result, I got into the dual-degree program at Berkeley Haas and will be pursuing my MBA/MPH this coming fall. Through working with Mori, I even secured a full-ride for my MBA through a scholarship award funded by the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management.”

“I hired Mori Writes as a tutor for my daughter’s college application essays. Mori was excellent at helping my daughter organize her thoughts, highlighting her experiences/extracurricular activities on paper and finding a writing style that matches her personality. Mori is patient and kind, which was key when my daughter was already stressed writing multiple college essays! My daughter was accepted into the college of her choice for Fall semester. I would recommend Mori’s services to anyone looking for a writing tutor.”

“Crafting a statement of purpose for my law school applications was a daunting task, and I didn’t know where to start. Thankfully, Mori is an excellent writer and a truly gifted instructor who helped to cut through my writer’s block. Her active involvement in and personal concern for my admissions journey made it feel like I received the advantages of an admissions consultant as well as a writing tutor. What I loved most about working with Mori was how she made the writing process a fun collaboration. The result was nothing short of empowering; Mori helped me execute a compelling and unique case for my qualifications written in my own voice. I now firmly believe that my statement of purpose is what carried me over the finish line with a scholarship to a top 50 law school.”

“Mori was a patient, creative and enthusiastic tutor! I can’t thank her enough for helping my daughter get into her dream college!”

“Mori has been helping my daughter with her college essays and is a wonderful writing coach. Mori has an easy rapport making her very relatable for my 17yr old. She also has a unique way of engaging with my daughter as they work together to extract an authentic story for her personal statement. If your student is looking for someone to provide some structure and creativity to the college essay writing process, I highly recommend you contact Mori!”

“I worked with Mori on my graduate school essay for Antioch University, and I was thrilled to be accepted to their Clinical Psychology Program for Fall 2021. I cannot stress enough how invaluable my time working with Mori was. Not only does she check the boxes for giving helpful constructive feedback but furthermore, what sets Mori apart is her natural ability to listen to and help craft the story that you as the writer are trying to tell. Mori opened door after door with questions about my professional experience and a caring curiosity about my journey. She helped me to see more clearly what I had to offer as a musician making the transition to the field of psychology and was so helpful in pinpointing areas of focus for me to write about. Mori showed me that I have had the tools all along to tell my story, I am thankful that she was there to help sharpen them.”
