Tobi shows you how to get your child's admissions essay ready, using the same approach behind his 100% first-choice placement rate.

Tobi is a fantastic tutor! He's kind and warm, and was able to help my son come out of his shell in terms of writing confidence. I really like the philosophy that good writing takes work and revision, it is not something that you just do perfectly the first time. Highly recommend!

Amazing tutors, I can't rate them high enough. Tobi is the only tutor I will use along with my future kids. The tutors make real genuine connections with the students and help them out to the best of their ability. Moreover, their prices are a steal for the quality of their work. I worked with Tobi on admission essays, and I never knew how far my personal statement could go without his help. I really can't thank them enough!

I highly recommend Lessons with Tobi. My son received support for AP Biology and SAT preparation, and the experience was outstanding. Aarushi was a rock star. She is sharp as a tack, engaging, and incredibly effective at helping my son tackle challenging material while keeping him motivated. What stands out most to me is the people at Lessons with Tobi. Tobi has been generous, kind, and supportive throughout the whole process. As a parent, it can feel overwhelming to navigate academics, testing, and college preparation. Working with Lessons with Tobi made me feel like I had a team of people who genuinely cared and wanted to help my son and me navigate his growing mind and expanding world. We're already returning for college essay support, and I recommend them with gusto and gratitude.

Highest recommendation. Tobi helped both our kids with their essays during the high school application process and their writing skills have flourished in English Honors classes in high school. Both kids often request time with Tobi to help with big essay assignments in high school. He's the best.

Tobi helped me to write my college application essays for a total of 15 schools within the span of about 3 months. I met with one other tutor before Tobi and there was a palpable difference when I met with him for the first time. I immediately clicked with Tobi because, apart from being an amazing editor, he's just a cool guy. His creativity and insightfulness helped me immensely when I was having to dig deep in order to write essays that didn't just highlight my achievements, but also genuinely conveyed my personality and interests within a 300 word limit. The college admission process is unavoidably stressful and at times humbling because of how competitive so many universities are nowadays. However, when I sent out my college applications I also felt a sense of confidence. I knew that who I am came across in writing. When I got back my college responses a few months later I was surprised by the results, especially by the fact that I was accepted to UCLA. I didn't take a million APs, but I truly believe that what pushed the needle was someone in admissions sensing my passion for the major I applied to and thinking, "she'd be a good fit." It's insane what colleges expect of 17 year olds, but if there's anything that will help you to stand out from the thousands and thousands of other highly qualified applicants, it's making that raw connection with one of the people who flip through a thousand applications every day. Tobi will help you to do just that. #Tobi for President!!

Tobi is an excellent teacher. He is very patient and he was able to build a connection with my son right away. He was very effective at identifying strengths and weaknesses in my son's writing style and at suggesting ways of improvement. As a result of his tutoring, my son's English grade improved. I'd highly recommend Tobi.

Tobi was a godsend guiding our child through the high school application process. We can't say enough good things about him.
