WHO ARE YOU, REALLY?
That's what colleges want to know. Take the time to find out. The answer belongs to you. We help you see it and say it, clearly and powerfully.
One-on-one Essay Intensive college essay help is shaped around your desire for growth as an applicant, writer and reinvigorated, less-stressed human. Each personalized Essay Intensive guidance session looks different, ranging as widely and as creatively as your needs.
Our intensives are a real response to this problem: Your college essay writing process should not be stressful, dull, or isolating. Writing with us, you’ll achieve the triple threat of teenage life: be with friends, feel more alive, and gain some skills you can actually use again and again and again.
We offer customized writing support to anyone who is looking to represent themselves in words towards a personally meaningful goal. What story will you tell? How will you tell it? Does your writing meet the requirements of what you're being asked to do?
If you are being genuine you will automatically stand out because there is only one of you in the pool. We are looking for what makes you special and if you write an authentic and thoughtful essay about yourself, we will uncover just that.
