Applying to High School in NYC and Admissions Writing Help for your Middle School Student

High School Admissions Writing

All students can and should be able to love writing, their writing. In middle school, many students turn on themselves. Writing might feel like just another test of not stacking up. I hope to give students a very different experience. I can help your family tackle the daunting high school admissions writing.
In NYC, the demand for high stakes writing starts (too) young, when you are ready for high school admissions.
Many of the NYC high schools now require essays as part of their admissions process. This can make families (and kids) a bit nauseous and anxious. Words count.

Let me take pressure off

As a career writing teacher and coach, parent of 4 (two have already been through HS process), I’m here to make all things writing way less scary for your child (and, let’s face it, your family).
The public school application prompts are changeable as spring weather, but there are TYPES of questions you can expect and prepare for.
The private and independent high schools have always required essays and multiple short answers. Again, you can prepare for the TYPE of questions you’ll be asked, in advance.
There are tools of writing and mindset your child can work to master before they are asked to do high stakes admissions writing– or in the espresso mode when they are up against a deadline.
I work on sliding scales as needed, and hope to help every child who comes my way love themselves even more AND put their best foot forward. It’s not too early to get your prepositions in a row. 🙂
Reach out. I love chatting about your kids. Free consults available at initial contact, or to get on my list for upcoming free parent webinars in fall on tackling the writing when the next cycle of admissions opens up.

Happy Parent Feedback

What parents of my middle school students are saying:
“My family could have literally never done this admissions process without you.”
“She absolutely loves her essay and so do we.”
“I felt like we were failing, and then we found you. He read us his essay with pride.”
“You’re doing god’s work!” 😉
