I looked forward to my Zoom calls with her because I knew each time we met I would have a clearer picture of what to focus on. Rewriting my drafts really made a difference and helped me get to where I wanted to be. The best thing was that Amber would help me feel good about my writing because she never tried to change any part of my story, and she always made that clear. "

“Our relationship was life-changing. Amber Thompson helped me gain confidence with my academics and extra-curriculars. She also helped me in ways no one else could. She knows how to advocate for the child as well as understand the parent's point of view. She allowed me and my mother to be comfortable enough to be vulnerable. My favorite part of working together was how it never felt like busy work. We've formed a friendship. "

“Before we started working together, I was confused and worried about where I wanted to apply and had no idea what to write my essays about. Amber Thompson helped me formulate my thoughts incredibly well. We talked out whatever thoughts I had and then Amber asked me more questions so those thoughts became more specific ideas. That made my writing way more concise and poignant.
