About Us

Benjamin Norby - Award-Winning English Teacher and University Writing Consultant with 26 Years Experience

I love teaching. For 23 years, I taught English and Honors English, helping over 3,000 Jeffco students to become better readers, writers, and thinkers. In 2017, I was voted by my colleagues as my school’s Exemplary Performance Award winner. Most recently, I've been a Writing Consultant for the University of Colorado.

I've optimized admissions essays for Harvard Law and Business Schools, Yale Law, Stanford Medical and Business, Oxford, Cambridge, the London Schools of Economics and Business, Johns Hopkins Medical, Northwestern Law, Rutgers Medical, Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, and many, many more. I've also revised letters of recommendation on behalf of CEO's, CFO's, managers, etc., and revised cover letters for a wide array of jobs.

What sets me apart from other writers is my ability to capture who you are, reflecting and accentuating your best traits. My clients say, "You totally got me!" or "Is that really me?" (Yes, it is).

Testimonials

Benjamin is so helpful! He did an excellent job of incorporating all of my ideas, stories, and experiences into one great personal statement. He has a lovely way of writing and was great at communication!

He worked the entire weekend to turn my Personal Statement outline into a masterpiece. Call him Michelangelo, a master of creative writing!

Benjamin is absolutely incredible. His writing skills are elite! His prowess in writing and decorum in character really are one of a kind. Benjamin helped me with my personal statement for an MBA program and let me tell you… I couldn't believe that was me in the personal statement… but it was! Ben cared about my work and statement and understood how important it was for my life. He used that in his writing and ensured it was top quality.

It is amazing to read his rewrite that he fully understands the intent and purpose of every sentence and rephrases them in a more effective way but not losing personal style. Ben asked great questions to the points before he started and worked efficiently with quick turnover.

Benjamin was INCREDIBLE. His work was amazing- it fit my requirements exactly and was written perfectly. The turnaround time was unbelievably fast and the communication was easy. Such a pleasure to deal with and, as his name suggests- truly magical work!!!!

I am so happy with my personal statement. I've read it over and over and it keeps getting better. Benjamin captured my voice perfectly.

Benjamin did an outstanding job editing my essay and was very kind, honest, reliable, fast, and accommodating. He helped me on a tight deadline and it was obvious that he would continue to work with you until you were satisfied. He was also very respectful of my time and money, which shows his great character. I cannot say good enough things about him and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs help with editing.
