I highly recommend Jill as a tutor and instructor. She's a great writer, a patient teacher and a very organized, detailed person. Her writing workshop is well worth the time and investment. The classes and her instruction have made me a better writer and more thoughtful reader as well. I look forward to working with Jill again very soon.

After working with another English tutor who couldn't connect with me, I started with Ms. Rendelstein. I was quite nervous to work with her. But she proved me wrong in the first lesson. While she is also an excellent English teacher, Ms. Rendelstein has another quality that is essential to all successful tutors: she's flexible. She has helped me grow in many areas, including my essay composition and creative writing skills. In addition to enriching my writing skills, Ms. Rendelstein helped me realize something else. There is a joy to writing. If learned, this joy will leave students writing successfully for the rest of their lives.

Ms. Rendelstein's assistance with my graduate school admissions essay helped improve my personal statement considerably. Ms. Rendelstein's edits, suggestions, and comments produced a more polished final draft. Before I approached her, a number of professional writers had read my essay and thought it was excellent in its current state. However, after I worked with Mrs. Rendelstein it became evident that she guided my writing to an entirely different level. I strongly recommend Ms. Rendelstein's tutorial services--regardless if you are a high school, undergraduate, or postgraduate student.

My parents do not have an English background, so I learned language and composition at school. But I lacked a creative edge to my writing, and essays written for English classes were always formulaic and didactic. Jill brought creativity and spontaneity into my writing, and smoothed my structural problems also. Because of her, I'm beginning to love writing... for myself, and not just for school.

Jill helped me revise my MBA application essays and was particularly effective at cutting the less relevant material out and concentrating on the major points. She was a pleasure to work with, both in person and on the phone. And when I was under a time crunch in the last few days before deadline, she demonstrated a sincere empathy for my situation and was accommodating to my schedule. I highly recommend working with Jill.

My 11th grade English teacher and my college guidance
counselor both loved the college admission essays. Thank you so much
for aiding me in this process. You've raised my chances of getting into
the school of my dreams. I will definitely refer you to some of my friends
at school, unless they interfere in my essay time!!!

Jill was a great help. To start, she was very accommodating
with my tight schedule. She took the time to look over my papers before
we actually met, so that she could fully understand what I was trying
to convey and give me the best possible help in person. Our sessions
went really well. She helped me rearrange my thoughts within a well-defined
structure and with a consistent theme. Awesome!
