“Cindy has mentored my daughter over the past year, helping her with her college applications and essays. In particular, her vocabulary has improved ten-fold. She was accepted to Wheaton and Connecticut College, largely because of her work with Cindy. The SAT prep she did with Cindy was creative, hands-on, and personal which inspired my daughter to really reach for the stars.”

“I am writing this letter regarding Cindy’s work with my daughter over the past few years. It was four years ago when my daughter came home complaining about how she did not like the school she was going to, even though it was a private school. She was having a very rough time and desperately wanted to get out of there. That is when Cindy came into our lives. She first started getting to know Taylor, not only as a student, but also as an individual. She helped Taylor get into her new school and has been there for her since day one. She showed her the right ways of making good friends and adapting to a new environment. We all, as parents, know how tough it gets for our children to move to a new school, make new friends, feel welcomed and feel like they are in the right state of mind to start the new school year. With Cindy’s help, I hardly worried about those aspects of my daughter’s life because I knew she was getting great help with an amazing person. Apart from helping Taylor transfer from one school to another, Cindy has been helping my daughter get through her studies and pass with flying colors. She has done an incredible job and I cannot express in words how thankful I am and how grateful I am for the work Cindy has done.”

“I just moved into my dorm a couple days ago and already having a blast in Ithaca. I just wanted to thank you for all your help because you are the reason I’m even in college. I really did enjoy working with you even when I wanted to pull my hair out, you were the one to calm me down and get me through it. Couldn’t have done it without you and really wanted to let know that you are a wonderful tutor/person and I wish you the best.”

“Working with Cindy and Sascha was one of the best experiences of my college application process. As a transfer student, they guided and encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zone to produce amazing essays. Both were very informative, provided quick feedback, and extremely eager to assist me. I would absolutely work with Rainbow again and would recommend them to my friends and siblings who are applying to college!”

“My daughter, Aja Bivens, worked with Cindy from her freshmen year through her senior year of high school. With Cindy’s extra guidance and recommendations through the rigors of her academic coursework, Aja was able to do very well throughout her high school years. Each year showed an improvement with her study skills as well as her grades. Cindy was able to teach Aja so that she fully understood her subjects and was confident in taking her tests. Aja also took Cindy’s prep courses for her SAT testing and she began these courses during the second half of her sophomore year and continued until the end of her junior year. Because she started well in advance, she was very prepared for the official SAT testing and was able to improve her scores by over 600 points from where she started. Cindy also worked with Aja to create vivid and poignant personal statements and unique essay supplements that very much set her apart in the college application process. Her applications, along with her excellent SAT scores and a strong GPA, allowed Aja to gain admittance to her dream school, New York University.”
