"Working with Mindy was very helpful. She
helped me edit my essays to say exactly what I wanted them to say in the
perfect way. I learned how to better express myself through writing by
working with Mindy, and overall it was a great experience. I got into an
amazing college, and I'm very excited to attend this fall. The essay I
wrote for that college was probably the hardest one I had to write, so
having Mindy there to coach me through it was crucial (and very
successful!) Mindy made everything easier and inspired me to write to
the best of my abilities." -- Kristina, Lexington (MA) High School
graduate
"We had reached the
point of terminal frustration. My son’s high school 'essay support
person' helped him create a terrible essay. He was upset because
he had poured significant effort into an essay that could not be used.
I was upset because we were going to miss our deadline. An
internet search led us to Mindy. She stepped in, quickly built a
relationship with my son, helped him refocus and guided him to the
completion of a great essay. Now my son is blaming me for having
not found Mindy sooner." -- Parent of a high school senior in Pennsylvania
“Thank you again and again for your help.
I got into 7 colleges and know my essay made the difference!"
-- a Lexington, MA High School student, now attending Tufts University
Let me help you with your
college application essay.
As college application deadlines loom, parents and students admit that
the essay is the #1 task students dread, avoid, or wait to tackle last minute. Yet it is a vital tool for providing depth to your application. The essay introduces
the person behind the grades, scores, and extracurricular activities. And it sometimes makes the difference between an
acceptance or rejection from your desired college.
During the past decade, I have coached hundreds of high school students
on their college application essays. I guide them toward passionate essays that
reflect their personalities and unique qualities. While the essay alone
cannot help a student get into college, it provides an edge in the
admissions process and helps students gain acceptance to the colleges of
their dreams.
I will not write the essay for you! We will discuss the content and
the messages your essay provides
about you. Then we will adjust words, sentences, and paragraphs so you and your writing are effervescent.
This is how I work with students:
If you already have
drafted an essay, I will review it and work with you on edits--or
suggest a different topic if I think you’ve missed your mark.
If you have no idea
what to write your essay on, do not worry! We will discuss ideas and
work together on what should go into a first draft.
From here, I will work with you on
edits until you and I believe it's ready to roll out!
Unlike
most essay coaching services,
I work with students personally; I never
subcontract to junior
assistants!
