"My son's honors' English teacher had
incorporated the college application essay as an assignment, so he
handed in his essay that he did with you. She had virtually no comments
and told him it was well written! Thanks so much for coaching him!"
-- a Reading, Massachusetts mom
“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
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.
Let me help you with your
college application essay.
Over the past decade, I have coached numerous 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!
