My experience at Writing Academy was definitely an enjoyable one. What I learned here was helpful not only for my AP test, but also for my class at school as well. Dr. Trac knows how to make the class enjoyable while feeding the student with helpful information.

My goal going into this year was to pass the AP exam. When I started, I have to admit I was a very abstract writer. However, throughout the year, Dr. Trac taught me how to properly write essays according to the AP grading rubric. I ended up getting a 4 on my test. I definitely would recommend Writing Academy to others because of my significant improvement in my writing and grade.

I first attended Writing Academy in my sophomore year of high school. I had a lot of trouble writing and desperately needed help. Dr. Trac was very welcoming and kind. She created a very open and comfortable environment for students to learn. She was not only considerate but also made sure her students succeed.

When I was writing my college essays, I was very nervous and didn’t think much about getting into a UC. However, Dr. Trac always encouraged me to believe in myself. She made sure that my writing reflected my character. Surprisingly enough, I was accepted into UCI, UCSD, UCSB, and UCD. I couldn’t be happier enough to be accepted to all my favorite schools.

After graduating from college, I came back to Dr. Trac for my graduate school application. I thought Dr. Trac forgot me, but she didn’t. She was so happy to see me come back to her for my application. After spending a month working on the application, I was very satisfied with the result. I sent in my application, and within a month, I got an email notifying me that I got into the graduate program at CSUDH for Clinical Sciences!

I had a great experience with Dr. Trac, and I am glad she was able to help me through my journey from high school to college and now graduate school. I recommend this place to anyone who is seeking help in writing. Dr. Trac is amazing and very knowledgeable.

My experience at Writing Academy was very fulfilling. I had a great time talking with Dr. Trac about my personal experiences and thoughts and figuring out what kind of things I wanted to put on my papers. I am satisfied with the things that I ultimately put on my papers, and I am extremely thankful for everything that Dr. Trac helped me with.

When I decided to go to Writing Academy, I wanted to have some ideas on what my papers could be written about and also have my writings edited and refined, and I would say I did accomplish that at Writing Academy. I would definitely recommend Writing Academy to my friends who are also looking for help on their college apps.
