“Edith is a talented writer and storyteller, but the real magic she brings to her work is her ability to see. Edith looked at our school’s brand from every conceivable angle, triangulating from the optimal vantagepoint before putting it into words. What unfolded was a light touch of our very essence, like a single stroke of brilliantly colored paint on a sparse canvas. She brought our story to life with nuance and character, boiling it down to its essential points.”
— Liss L., assistant director of communications, Ross School
“Working with Edith was the most rewarding and productive experience I could’ve asked for. Edith is intelligent, meticulous, and engaged, but her greatest strength as a tutor is her ability to make her subject feel secure. Usually I’m nervous to share my writing, but Edith gave me a safe space where I could freely share my ideas, receive productive criticism, and further my writing skills. I left our session feeling good about my paper and even better about myself!”
— Finley S., student, William & Mary
