"Nate was outstanding. He worked so well with my daughter, providing her invaluable mentoring, guidance, and assistance at every step of the college application process. He truly invests his heart and soul into his students. He is extremely personable and provides his students with an outstanding level of professionalism. My daughter was late to start her application process, but Nate had her synchronized within a week. I highly recommend him for any student."

"Dear Nathaniel, Thank you for your steady-handed guidance of Oliver these past 6 months! You have been an amazing coach to him, providing him with a safe space to help him find his authentic voice in his writing. Your process has been “as advertised”—much more than just essay writing. It has been more like therapy. You helped Oliver really explore all the different facets of his life in a way that he could not do on his own at this point nor with a parent. And then, you helped him connect the dots in his life to tell a very singular and compelling story. We close 2021 with all his applications submitted and knowing that we have at least an EA acceptance under our belt. Regardless of which other universities extend Oliver an offer, know that we are thankful for how you have made a challenging process less painful and into one from which he has grown personally."

"I am very glad that I decided to work with Nathaniel. He was great at helping me understand my values, thus allowing me to initiate a leadership project that was focused on something I deeply care about. He is patient and always willing to listen to my thoughts and ideas when working together. When I am hesitant on making a bold move, he knows how to encourage me and give me a gentle push to just go for it. I had a valuable experience working on my Spike with Nathaniel. I was always motivated and excited to take the next step. Looking back, I experienced a lot of growth as a person in general. I am a lot more confident and proactive in life than I was when I first started working with him. I am extremely thankful to Nathaniel for working with me.”

“Working with Nathaniel really was enlightening. His advice on how to approach my school life gave me a clear sense of my passions and what my goals should be for the future. For example, Nathaniel taught me that it’s the flexibility of the process that paves the way to your desired outcome. Or when Nathaniel taught me that the best way to study was to focus on the topics that you enjoyed learning the most. But Nathaniel is also someone you can rely on to help you through not only academic challenges but personal challenges too. He brings a level of trust that you don’t get from other mentors. Our work together really gave me a boost of confidence in all areas of my life that changed me for the better. So Nathaniel isn’t just a mentor to me, he’s a friend.”
