"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!
