Dr. Waldron’s help with writing a college essay made the application process much smoother. My son learned more about writing in one summer with Dr. Waldron than in 3 years of English class. What a fantastic experience!

Describing Dr. Waldron's College Essay Writing Program
I love what Meghan and her team of teachers bring to table for our kids. I had been using SmartVA's classes for my son for some time. My son is very hands on and deep thinker but I was looking for help to improve his writing skills. SmartVA has helped him to think clearly and align his thoughts so he can communicate his thoughts very well. I have seen him improve over the past few years. I give credit to Smart Solutions for their tutoring. I would gladly refer SmartVA to anyone who is genuinely interested in helping their child improve their writing skills.

Meg did an amazing job helping my son find his voice in his college essay. She modeled the writing process, allowing him to come to his own conclusions. Her expertise as a classroom teacher and her years of experience teaching writing make her and Smart Solutions the best pick for college essay writing help.

Dr. Waldron has taught my daughter writing since elementary school. She set a strong foundation for my daughter. Even though we took a break from tutoring in high school, my daughter did well in the writing part of the AP English and History exams because of Dr. Waldron. Both Dr. Waldron and Ms. Gales at Smart Solutions have worked with my daughter, editing so many essays for college applications. Both of them gave excellent feedback, and they are amazing in making sure the essay fits the number of words allowed but still get the point across.

Thank you so much for helping me with IB writing. I owe it all to you. I hope you continue your class because it will most likely help someone else as it did for me.

We were so grateful to have Meg’s experience, expertise and encouragement as our daughter navigated the college application process. Her positive demeanor was only matched by her professionalism and knowledge. The essay came together beautifully, and Georgia was thrilled to have so many opportunities open to her, ultimately deciding on the pre veterinary program at Texas A&M University.

I would like to share something with you about how much my kids like you. I asked my son if he needed any other support for the English SAT (as English is my and my husband's second language).
He said, "I have Chris, and I don't need anything else." My daughter then said, "Yes, I agree... he's awesome!"

Words cannot describe how much I have loved working with Mrs. Sheriff over the years. I first began working with her in 8th grade for my high school specialty center applications, improving various skills such as timed writings and use of concise language. I then worked with her again during my senior year for my college applications, editing my supplemental essays for clarity and length. Mrs. Sheriff was extremely helpful in making my writing descriptive yet concise, allowing me to convey myself effectively while staying true to my personal writing style. I cannot thank Mrs. Sheriff enough for her help in improving my writing as well as her constant support and encouragement."
