testimonials

  • "When I started my college application essays, I was clueless about where to begin. Mia quickly cleared up my confusions by offering beneficial and constructive advice on my writing. It was reassuring to have her as a constant source of support throughout the entire process. Through her guidance and unwavering passion for writing, I’m grateful to say that I have the privilege of attending my dream school in the fall!"

    Firdous Ali, University of California, Berkeley ‘29

  • “Mia is one of the most talented, hardworking and driven young writers I have seen. She is a natural story teller, incredibly articulative and convincing. I love her authenticity and that comes across in every piece of work and every conversation we’ve had. Go Mia!”

    Daisy Du, Co-Founder of Alpha ManTeng Education

  • "I'm so happy to have had the honor of working with Mia to put together monthly issues for The Affair Magazine! She was always so on top of leading staff writers and dedicated so much time and energy than what was asked to ensure quality and a complete magazine. Her edits were always so thorough and she always left very thoughtful comments on articles. I'm so grateful to have had Mia on my team and her passion for what she does really shines through what she does!"

    Sahithi Lingampalli, Founder of Affair Magazine

  • "Mia's feedback played a huge role in my application—in terms of college decisions. I got accepted to schools I’d never even imagine getting into like UCLA and Berkeley! I really appreciate her writing services; they made a major impact on my application, and I know they could help others too. Thank you so much for helping me edit my PIQs!"

    Josiah Hayag, University of California, Berkeley ‘29

  • "As an integral part of our National CreAsian Society debut workshop, Mia was kind, attentive, respectful, and endlessly engaging with the enraptured crowd of young AAPI writers. Her passion and diligence inspired the young writers that day to pursue their literary dreams. From responding within seconds to inquiries on her slides, to being honest and open to an inspired audience, Mia is an extremely skilled, hard-working, and adaptive writer and instructor, and we are honored to work with her. Without Mia, we couldn’t have made the impact we did. Thank you, Mia!"

    Hans Yang and Eddie Chen, Founders of CreAsian Society

  • "The poem [has a] signature 'Mia Grace Davis' vibe to it—warm and comforting simplicity tied together with a unique kind of conviction that succeeds in convincing the reader of the poem’s true importance."

    Robert Gao, Fellow Adroit Journal Summer Mentee

  • “Mia has been an exemplary tutor with Kid By Kid! She is consistent, dependable and even volunteered every week throughout the summer. She is passionate about helping her Learner who is behind grade level as a result of COVID and scarcity of resources supporting his academic journey.”

    Daxton Gutekunst, Founder of Kid by Kid

  • “I found Mia on Instagram and I’m so glad I did! She was so easy to talk to and made the whole college essay process so much less stressful. She’s so nice, patient, and just easy to work with in general. Mia helped me to bring out my voice and express my story in a concise and authentic way. I’m so happy with how everything turned out—would totally recommend working with her!”

    Jonah Butler, Ohio State University ‘29

  • "Before working with Mia, my essays were kind of just...existing. She helped me turn my essays from 'dear admissions, I am begging' into something that actually sounded like me (but better). Mia's edits were clear, honest, and didn't kill my vibe. If you're looking for someone who's part literary genius, part hype squad, and all heart, Mia's your person."

    Bauer Lee, Stanford University ‘29
