Working with Louise Borden and Best Fit Education has been such an incredible experience throughout my college application process. I’m applying to voice programs in New York and Boston, so there were a lot of separate applications to manage—many of which weren’t Common App schools. From the very start, my mom and I could tell that Louise was exactly who I needed to work with. She’s so knowledgeable and organized and made everything feel so much more manageable. She helped me with everything from refining my essays to reaching out to professors for trial lessons. Louise is not only amazing at what she does, but she’s also such a kind person who truly cares about her students and their passions. My mom and I are so grateful to have worked with her, and we are beyond happy with how everything turned out! We would recommend Best Fit Education to anyone who wishes to study their instrument at a college level.
