What we do together
In our one-on-one sessions, you write the admissions essay of your life, and feel good doing it. You learn about yourself, push your thinking and craft, and write something meaningful about who you are or what lights you up.
We support students writing personal and supplemental essays for college admissions, competitive high schools or graduate schools, and applying for scholarships or internships.
Process & Approach
We take the time to listen to what you’re really trying to say, to help you hear what you're about, and to be sure you say it … in the best way possible. We believe you have something deeply important to say, and, like most of us, need help choosing, shaping, and polishing.
We ask you a million questions, challenge you, and give you targeted writing prompts and direction to work out your story. Through focused drafting, voila, your compelling college essay takes shape. After each session, we send you comprehensive notes about what work was accomplished and next steps.
Then we help you revise and edit until your essay is convincing, compelling and at word count, BEFORE crucial deadlines. Final reads are both nurturing of your inner grammar instincts and merciless on errors :).
We know you'll leave with so much more than you came for.
Introduce yourself here to get started writing your best college essay. (And we offer other personalized writing support too!)
