Hello! My name is Aaron, and I'd like to work with you. I'm guessing you've got a wealth of talent and experience and you need it to stand out. I've helped many students with exactly that challenge, and they've ended up at Yale, Columbia and UPenn, to name a few stiffly competitive places. I'm confident that, together, we can make your application represent you with just the right shine.

Hello, my name is Holly Maraist. I have a BA in English with a concentration in Literature from the University of Mary Washington. I aspire to be a librarian in the future.

I'm an American living and working in England which means I've had the best of both worlds in terms of English speaking and writing. I have worked as an editor, an ESL tutor and an admissions officer and I hold degrees from Stanford University and NYU (and I'm currently at Oxford University). Thus I am not only very qualified but also very familiar with the graduate application process. I've worked with many students from all over the world and I am committed to the very best customer service.

I am an educational professional, translator, and author who has seen academia from all sides. I understand how stressful the application process can be, so I enjoy sharing expertise as well as encouragement with my clients.Although my background is in the humanities, the majority of my clients on Zhishiq.com so far have been in the field of finance, with a significant number in architecture, urban planning, and computer science as well. I love to research new topics, so I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with clients in all academic disciplines.I am a native speaker of American English, but I am well-versed in the written conventions of British English as well. I keep up to date with the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, and I believe in the serial comma.

MA in Linguistics from the University of Texas-Austin and BA in English from the College of William and Mary in Virginia.

With a varied professional background dealing with the nuances of the English language, I have honed my skills at writing for diverse audiences; writing for the attention of the dreaded university applications officer is a feat that I can help you accomplish. As a journalist I covered an odd array of topics, from the arts to economics, urban conservation to international relations. I will ensure you put yourself across as you intend, no matter what the subject of your writing is.

HIGHLY EXPERIENCED SENIOR ADVISOR on the Zhishiq platform. Since 2014, I have helped students gain offers from some of the world's best universities [including Ivy League schools and Oxbridge, as well as in Europe and Hong Kong]. I will help you develop effective, impactful documents, clearly highlighting your skills and abilities to give your application or essay the best chance of standing out!
