Write your truth. Submit with confidence.
A Thought Partner
With so much at stake, writing a personal essay for college admission can feel daunting. As a college essay coach, I break down the process into manageable steps, from brainstorming to drafting to revision.
Writing a college essay isn’t just about strong writing; it’s also about honest self-reflection. I create a supportive environment where students feel safe to explore their ideas and express themselves authentically. Together, we map out the essay using a storyboard approach, experimenting with different structures until we find the one that best supports their story. As we move into drafting and revision, we refine for tone, detail, and conciseness, ensuring the final piece is both original and compelling.
An Accountability Partner
As an experienced educator and a parent, I understand how stressful the college application process can be for students and families alike. My role as a college essay coach is to provide the structure, guidance, and accountability students need to stay focused and follow through. I provide consistent, constructive feedback at every stage, keeping them organized, engaged, and on track from the first brainstorm to the final draft.
My aim isn’t just to help students meet deadlines: it’s to help them take ownership of the process and produce an essay that’s thoughtful, polished, and true to who they are. With the right support and accountability, students gain the confidence they need to tell their story with authenticity and clarity.
