Testimonials
We have had the good fortune of working with Hannah Bookbinder and AcademicAlly for over 5 years. During that time, she and her team have worked with our oldest daughter as well as our son. She does an excellent job of assessing what is needed and providing the right person for the job. My daughter has been the beneficiary of support and guidance during the college search process as well as academic advice when it was clear that transferring to a different college was needed. My son is in high school and, like many teenagers, can be skeptical of adult advice. He not only likes his coach but more importantly, he respects her. My son views his coach as an integral part of his academic success. Bottom line: Being able to have a resource like Hannah and AcademicAlly has been invaluable to our family.
When I was having a hard time defining my personal value in pursuit of a new career path, Hannah helped me learn how to appreciate the best parts of myself. She brought an exceptional blend of emotional intelligence and intellect to our sessions, and I found that regardless of the tangents my mind took me, she always understood the core of whatever message I was trying to convey. As an adult who was diagnosed with ADHD from a very young age, I have always found it hard to dig myself out of “analysis paralysis.” Hannah helped me pull myself out of the grips of both internal and external pressures, and guide me along a path towards a clear-cut, action-oriented career plan, both short and long term, based uniquely on my skills, hopes, passions, and more. I would recommend Hannah to anyone who is looking for a new career and is finding it difficult to develop their own personal plan for success.
I want to give you a huge “thank you.” One of the things that you discussed with our son was identifying the colleges to which he might apply. It was at your suggestion that his current university was added to his list. Long story short, he selected the school and he is thriving there. He has matured dramatically in the past 9 months or so, is looking after himself with very little input from me, and he loves being in the city. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Something you said must have stuck with him, and he is now in the place he needs to be as a result. That would NEVER have happened if not for you.
