Happy Clients
"Ms. Billings served as both a teacher, for Government and Economics, as well as an academic adviser for my daughter. She was extraordinary in both roles! As a teacher, she managed to make learning fun while maintaining the highest expectations. As an academic advisor, she always kept us up to date on the latest information, and was always responsive to our questions and concerns. If you have the opportunity to work with Ms. Billings, I highly recommend you take it!"

“Amy Billings tutored me for my AP US History class during my junior year of high school. She helped me throughout the year in addition to specific preparation for the AP exam in May. She is an amazing tutor who was always patient with me when I didn’t understand the historical context or forgot important details. Through her explanations I was able to understand and retain the information necessary to be successful in the class and on the exam.”
— Melanie Zivic, student
“Amy Billings makes the stress feel manageable, the future feel exciting, and the connection feel personal. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her through my high school years. I could not recommend her enough. When it comes to college applications, there is no substitute for a strong personal connection.”
— Nathaniel Kublin, student at Brown University
“Right away, Amy took the time to get to know my individual goals, background, and concerns about my future. She helped me identify what factors were most important to me as I was deciding on my list of schools to apply to. Amy was incredibly knowledgeable about the variety of approaches, philosophies, and cultures of different colleges, which equipped me to both identify schools that would be strong matches for me and to develop thoughtful college-specific essays. Even beyond college applications, she diligently found several scholarships that I was a strong candidate for and kept me on track of their application timelines.
As I was writing my personal statement, Amy played a critical role in helping me construct a coherent narrative that expressed my voice and character. She read though at least a dozen drafts of my Common Application essays and was very approachable and supportive when providing feedback and building my confidence about my final drafts. Moreover, I am extremely appreciative of the guidance Amy provided while I was navigating the financial aid application with a particularly tricky family situation. She not only reassured and informed my mother and me as we completed a difficult process, but also repeatedly contacted the financial aid office at my Early Decision school to explain my situation and learn more information about school-specific policies.
I am very proud and grateful that in 2016 I was accepted to Columbia University, my top choice, with a generous and affordable financial aid package, in addition to securing three competitive scholarships. It is largely due to the tremendous support of Amy Billings that I was able to reach my educational goals, and I can’t thank her enough for the opportunities she helped me achieve!”
