College Essay Coaching

As a critical part of the college application, the essay can be intimidating.

Good news:  I am here to partner, support, and simplify the essay writing process.

The college application essay is the mechanism through which applicants get to represent who they really are and make a case that they are, without a doubt, a right-fit addition to a given college or university. An effective essay will make the admissions committee feel as if they have just met the applicant, have a strong sense of their character, and understand how they would not only be a positive addition to the school's student body but also that they are more than prepared to succeed as a college student. 

The applicant will receive:

• Writing coaching support from brainstorming to revising to editing to submission
• Positive, motivating coach
• Open, safe space
• Structure, timelines, accountability
• Up to 6 writing sessions
• Final draft editing

A note for parents or guardians of applicants...

My primary goals for working with your child:

• Develop strong, trusting, confidential rapport 
• Hold safe, open, and supportive space during all interactions
• Support, guide, and empower their essay creation process
• Provide clear goals between sessions to ensure they make steady progress 
• Ensure essay content captures their individuality, character, and ability to succeed in college
• Reassure them throughout the essay writing process to build their confidence in themselves and their essay content
• Facilitate the creation of an essay that they feel truly represents them so that they are proud to submit it
• Unburden parents from micromanaging the essay writing process
