Enrich Your Academics

Dr. Blum helped me with my dental school applications. He was incredibly helpful. First, he was very efficient and organized. He doesn’t nickle and dime you for the time. And I was happy what I was able to accomplish with his help.
I was able to get into my top choice!

I cannot recommend Alex strongly enough if you need help with a personal statement. He is extremely organized and his process really works. Writing my statement seemed like an impossible task, and I didn’t know where to start. After one meeting with Alex, I had a solid outline and plan for my statement that we were able to build off of at our next meetings. He has a true gift with his ability to dissect sentences and paragraphs and make every word count. With Alex’s help I was able to submit a personal statement that I was very happy with, and ultimately gained acceptance into a dental residency program. Thanks again for your help! You’re the best!

I highly recommend Enrich Your Academics and Alexander Blum for any educational services you are looking for. I contacted Alexander to help me write my personal statement for doctorate level programs in the healthcare field. He was extremely knowledgeable about the process, and enthusiastic to help me. He made the process easy and fun while teaching me effective strategies to structure my statement and highlight my strengths. He explained these strategies in different ways and provided examples to help me understand them better. Through the entire process, he was easy to talk to and accessible. He was able to meet at my convenience and work long hours. In addition to helping me write a strong personal statement that reflected my strengths, passion, and vision, I became a better writer in the process. At the end of it all, I was accepted to and was offered scholarships from all the programs I applied to, two of which are the top programs in the nation and my dream programs. BOTTOM LINE, Alexander was clear and efficient throughout the entire process, he helped me reach my goals in a time-​sensitive manner, and was a pleasure to work with. Will definitely use his services again.

If you are applying to professional or graduate school and want to enhance your essays and/​or personal statement, I highly recommend you enlist the assistance of Alex Blum. Alex has been instrumental in my personal statement writing process. I am applying to medical school this summer, and Alex significantly helped me with re-​constructing and refining my essay. Not only did he offer extremely valuable and insightful feedback, but what is unique about Alex is that he is truly right beside you during the entire writing process. Alex takes the time to accommodate your schedule and meets with you via skype so that you can work together, and also gladly fulfills any requests you may have. He is understanding and encourages you to critique your own work, looking through an editor’s lens. It is clear that he has worked with many students in the past as he is very familiar with the application writing process, and knows what schools are looking for when examining your application.
Alex also makes a great writing instructor… not did he help to improve my personal statement, but he also helped to improve my writing abilities. I learned several systematic writing techniques just from working with him for a little over a week. Aside from his stellar writing skills, Alex is a fantastic person to work with; he is down to earth, kind, positively critical, and has a great sense of humor that he brings to working sessions so that you have a good time while working with him. Alex has made my personal statement writing process very enjoyable and has allowed me to produce a statement that I am very proud of. If you want to hand professional school admissions committees an essay that will impress, you should definitely get to know Alex.

I am extremely grateful for Alex’s help with my personal statement for law school and cannot recommend him enough.
I decided I wanted to go to law school but had very little experience with the personal statement writing process, as the last time I wrote one was for college admissions. Thankfully, my friend recommended Alex to me. From the very beginning, Alex guided me throughout the writing process with a custom tailored approach, specific to my needs and wants. Alex is a very funny and genuinely kind person, who makes the process as fun and painless as possible.
The value of our tutoring sessions wasn’t just about achieving a grammatically correct essay. It was about learning how to articulate my experiences in a concise and informative manner. Alex’s process of getting to know you before even touching pencil to paper yields a persuasive personal statement that accurately and genuinely represents your experiences. He answers all your random questions and continues to answer emails even after you finish the tutoring session. I got a tremendous amount of personal attention. Alex always made the time to meet with me and devoted his entire self for the duration of the lesson. I also appreciate Alex’s honesty and integrity as a human being. He is very understanding, wise, and truly cares about your success, all of which make Alex an excellent partner through what is normally a stressful and painstaking process.
Our sessions were conveniently held in either the San Francisco State University or UC Berkeley libraries, where Alex has access to due to his graduate school studies. We even had a few sessions over Skype, which were extremely convenient for me since I could not always make it to the libraries.
Many people take on hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt to go to law school. Simply sending in applications costs a small fortune. A stellar personal statement, which Alex helped me achieve, awarded me tons of money in scholarships to some excellent schools across the country. If you are serious about law school and need help with your personal statement, you should really go to Alex.

Alex is wonderful. I had to write a personal statement and was really confused with the whole process. I came across Alex, who is very patient and helpful in understanding how to break down your ideas and guide you in a positive way. He truly cares about your success and takes his time to figure out how to help you write better. I highly recommend Alex if you need help writing professional statements. He is very flexible with scheduling and is overall a great person who exemplifies genuine interest in helping others out.

Mr. Blum helped me strengthen my essays applying as a transfer student, and I cannot thank him enough! He was willing to work with me any hour of the day and helped me communicate my ideas better. I particularly struggled with having a logical flow in my essays, and Mr. Blum was great at articulating my weak/​vague points. As of today, I have been accepted to all the UCs I applied to, which includes UCLA, Berkeley, and UC Davis as a molecular cell biology major. Thank you Mr. Blum!

When I applied for grad school Alex was a tremendous help! He helped me edit my personal statement, and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to impress the admissions committee! When I first showed him my personal statement he had a really positive attitude and pointed out all of the positive parts of my paper rather than the negative. He really understood the message of my paper and guided me through the whole process making it very simple, which was great for a first timer. Also he was very flexible with scheduling different times of day as well as Skype sessions. Alex positive attitude really took the fear of applying to grad schools and made it a very enjoyable experience!

I had to write a personal statement for a professional fellowship and didn’t know where to begin. Alex was extremely helpful from the beginning and had a positive attitude that helped me get through the difficulties of writing a strong personal statement. Alex was was also very accommodating and we even used Skype on a few occasions. I would highly recommend working with Alex for anyone who needs to write a personal statement.
