"I learned more fundamentals of writing in one 60-minute session with John than I did in all my high school years; his investment in the writing process is equally commendable. John's commitment to the essays always matched my own and allowed me to fully immerse myself in the writing process. His patience, attention to detail, and encouragement helped me navigate the challenging editing periods and push through my recurrent writer's block. Though my work with John was conducted entirely through Zoom, the quality of my writing was never sacrificed. Our work together allowed me to find and develop my voice as a writer."
