Essay Coaching & Writing Support
How It Works
Today's high school students face intense admissions-related pressure. Using a proven method, I teach clients how to write compelling essays in their own voice, making the experience more successful and less stressful for both students and their parents.
I work one-on-one with students to ensure they stand out in a crowded pool of applicants. I encourage students to become truly invested in the writing process and sharpen their writing toolbox through our work together.
Academic coaching and support services include:
-
Brainstorming and content development
-
Common application essay / personal statement
-
Supplemental essays
-
Private high school application essays

Essay Coaching Rates
As an essay coach, I simplify the college essay process and help develop outstanding essays. I use a proven ten-step process to help students understand the prompt, brainstorm topics, select a theme, complete multiple rounds of revision, and do a comprehensive final proofread. Once we begin, it typically takes about three to four weeks to finish an essay. It’s important to keep the momentum going.
I create an individualized schedule that enables students to meet their deadlines in a non-stressful manner.
