Ying was a godsend! What could have been a stressful process turned into a journey full of surprises, growth, and meaningful self-discovery. During our school options discussions, Ying did a thoughtful analysis of each school’s academic strengths, school culture, sports, activities, and more, which helped us understand each school thoroughly. What impressed us most was that our daughter felt no pressure at all during the process. Every time after talking to Ying, she came away inspired and full of ideas. Applying to 9th grade involves a lot of essays, and Ying made what could have been a tedious process interesting and fun. She made writing enjoyable for our daughter and helped her discover what was truly important to her and how to tell her story in an easy and natural way. Thank you again for everything! We feel so lucky to have had your support, and we know many more families will be lucky to work with you too.

We worked with Ying on our child’s private school admission process, and through this journey, we were very impressed by her professionalism, integrity, and deep knowledge of schools in the DMV area. She knows the DMV school admissions process very well and gave us practical advice throughout. One thing we really valued was that she helped us see what could realistically be improved and what we should avoid doing in the application. She also gave clear advice on parent interviews, including the types of questions schools may ask, what schools are looking for, and how to handle them. I especially appreciated that she was honest and clear in her opinions—for example, she advised us not to add a second recommendation because, in our child’s case, it would not have added much value. She listened carefully, gave direct but never pushy advice, and ultimately helped us get into the top choices we were hoping for. The application process can be stressful, but working with her made us feel much more confident and calm.
