Let's Meet

I'm Njeri, An Expert in Words!

I have a Bachelor's degree in English Writing and several years of experience as a writing coach. I've coached undergraduate, graduate, pre-med and medical students, including many ESL students. I've also worked for Sylvan Learning, assisting students with dyslexia, so I understand words can be 

challenging! Personal statements and interview skills are my jam!

What else makes me qualified to coach you through your personal statement?​​​

 

  • I understand the process of having to write your intentions down on paper.

  • During the ERAS 2020 residency match, I developed my own template and coached several students for free. This was after I had hired a consultant through a company and sadly, paid $300+ for an inexperienced "professional" without any grammar/syntax experience to review my own personal statement. It was a huge disappointment and a waste of money, but it's exactly how I developed my template.

  • I did my research by reading hundreds of personal statements. I realized that a 1-on-1 session to chat about your goals, a personalized template, and 2-4 revisions is what you need!

Testimonials

What can I say about Njeri? I reached out to her when I realized I would be changing directions and taking part in the SOAP process for the 2020 Match. Njeri was great support both personally and professionally. I was really concerned about my application since I was basically rehauling the entire thing. She was phenomenal in helping me package the multiple seemingly unrelated ideas that I had into a directed and coherent application. I'm proud to say that I will be starting an Internal Medicine residency in a great city and even better program, thanks in no small part to Njeri's feedback and guidance. 

Huge thank you.

Njeri received my personal statement and returned with such thorough and organized corrections. She really understood the intentions of my words and formalized my ideas into a beautiful package. I would not have felt as confident about my writing without her help.

-Dr. Jessica K, MD 

General Surgery Resident 2020

I found Njeri’s organizational and management skills to be the first of her many talents that helped me refine my personal statement. She helped me make a timeline to construct my personal statement and held me accountable so that I would meet all the deadlines. She helped me sort through the hodgepodge of my first rough draft - helping me pick which paragraphs to expand on. Her honesty helped me immensely when it came time to figuring out what ideas worked well with my main theme and which ones were lacking and needed editing or to be removed. Finally her infectious positivity kept me motivated and not to get discouraged through several rounds of edits :)

After the final round of editing I was overwhelmingly happy and confident in my personal statement. Njeri really helped make my ideas shine while keeping it very true to my voice :)

Njeri was God-sent when it came to my personal statement. I kind of knew what I wanted to say, but she helped me polish my ideas so that it flowed seamlessly. I would definitely recommend Njeri to anyone looking for help with their personal statements and tips on interviewing!

-Dr. Fernando M, MD

Internal Medicine Resident 2020

It was really great working with Njeri. I went from having very little idea on what I needed for a residency's personal statement to being confident in my first draft. Great help all around. Thank you!!!

I have said this before and I will say it again-- you are the truth! This is the best investment I have made on my journey to applying for medical school. After 3 revisions, I read my final draft and cried. It was everything I said before but clearer, more concise, and to the point. The template was such a huge help when it came to organizing my thoughts and improving the quality of my essay. I have had countless people read my essay and give me feedback but none of it compares to what you have done. What's amazing is unlike other editors, you didn't try to write my essay for me. You gave me directions and guidelines that made the process easier for me to write. Your professionalism, punctuality, and excellent communication made the experience even better. I am so glad I came across your page on Instagram! Thank you for being an important part of my journey. We'll be in touch when I'm applying to residency programs. YOU ARE THE TRUTH!

 I cannot say enough good things about Njeri and this wonderful service that she is providing to students. I was lost when it came to writing my personal statement. I had so many ideas, but at the same time nothing seemed to fit. During one afternoon session with Njeri, she listened to my thoughts, organized my ideas and gave me the confidence to write an essay that would best represent me. She is very talented, patient and always reliable. I highly recommend this service!

-Dr. Meher I, MD.

Writing has never been a strong suit of mine so I needed all the help I could get. Njeri was like my guardian angel guiding me through the whole process. She had a clear plan of how I needed to organize and think about my story and was instrumental in helping me articulate what I was trying to say. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing any type of writing assistance whether it’s just to review your essay or starting the process from scratch. She is definitely worth the investment. 

-Dr. Cynthia G, MD

Njeri helped me formulate a personal statement that truly expressed my voice and thoughts when I was writing my personal statement. Rather go off a template, Njeri provided guidance and coaching for a personal statement that was tailored to for success but stayed true to my my beliefs, goals and perceptions.

-Dr. Brian S, MD 

Internal Medicine Resident 2021

Initially, I had no idea where to start with my personal statement. Njeri helped me get a good foundation! I definitely recommend her services.

-Dr. Lola A, MD

Internal Medicine Resident 2021

I highly recommend Dr. Kuria’s personal statement service. I highly benefited from it, and I’m glad I chose her service vs any other online services available out there. She’s easily available to access and answers all questions appropriately. She does a great job helping people like me who have the ideas, but do not know how to rightly formulate them into words and sentences.

Highly recommend.

Njeri is an amazing help with writing papers and helping create cover letters and personal statements. She has helped me so many times, each time I notice a better grade or response from a potential employer. Could not have done it without her!

Njeri was amazing to work with! She gave me a great template to make my personal statement and then helped me revisit it to be amazing. I have never been so excited to submit my writing but because of her I am proud of what I made and can't wait for programs to read it. Thanks so much, Njeri!

Dr. Kuria's personal statement coaching definitely picked me up from scrambling through ideas to actually writing a concise, yet detailed personal statement which is perfect for ERAS. Her revisions were definitely very valuable, especially because she's matched into a residency herself.

 After fourteen edits, I felt as though it needed some revising. I was scared that if someone edited my personal statement, they would change the voice of my paper. I found Njeri on Instagram and asked for help. From the first day, Njeri truly won me over by her positivity and eagerness to help me with my medical school personal statement. Njeri helped with the flow of my personal essay and kept my voice throughout the whole paper. After getting into my top choice medical school, my interviewer told me that she was genuinely impressed by my personal statement. Njeri made me truly feel confident when I sent in my primary application for medical school. I highly recommend her services. She’s absolutely a delight to work with and gives the best feedbacks with each edit.
