I had been searching for over a year for someone to help my son with his communication skills—specifically speaking with adults, public speaking, and handling interviews—but I couldn’t find anyone who offered exactly what we needed. The situation became more urgent when my son was required to interview at three Catholic high schools as part of the application process. That's when Greg quickly responded to my inquiry. At the time, I had no idea what we were signing up for, but somehow we ended up with someone who far exceeded every expectation and made a lasting impact. What stood out to me the most was how Greg went above and beyond in preparing for the sessions. He even took the time to call the school that was my son's top choice to ensure he was addressing everything necessary and would be fully prepared. It was clear he took the time to really understand my son—his personality and his challenges. And then there was time. Greg was in the middle of a particularly busy period, with multiple deadlines when I first reached out. Anyone would have understood if he had declined or offered limited help given his packed schedule. But instead, he prioritized my son's growth and gave 100%—without hesitation. He’s incredibly successful and sought-after in his field, yet he chose to invest his time, probably missing some sleep in the process. The personal attention he provided was beyond anything I expected. Although he was working directly with my son, Greg kept me in the loop with detailed updates and actionable feedback, which left me feeling hopeful and confident in my son’s progress. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about your success and will go the extra mile to help you succeed—whether in public speaking, interpersonal communication, or building confidence—I can't recommend Greg enough. We haven’t yet heard if my son was accepted to his first-choice high school, but regardless of the outcome, I would do it all again. My son has gained invaluable, lifelong skills to build on, and I am incredibly grateful for the experience.

No words are enough to describe how great Greg’s services are, how much I appreciate his professionalism and expertise! He is working with my son and coach him for his preparation to SA and interview skills. If score 100 is max, he deserves 200. Greg is the most valuable deal I have found on Thunbtack.

MS Leawanna, Thanks for the kind words. It’s been an honor to assist your son with his preparation for his nomination interviews to the United States Military Academy at West Point, United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, and the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. I’m so glad I’ve been able to bring 41 years of military experience and 23 years of communication coaching experience to the preparation for these important upcoming interviews. These past two months have been professionally enriching. I’m committed to ensure your son nails all three interviews. Thanks making me feel part of your wonderful family. Thanks, Greg Cheek Proud Veteran of the US Air Force and US Army.
