"Stressing over college application essays? Now is a great time to get started!

Over the past several years, I’ve helped hundreds of students write the personal statements and school-specific supplementals that got them into the colleges of their dreams (Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, among many others). These essays can be especially challenging for even the best writers: the stakes are high, and the task demands writing skills that are different from those taught in most English classes.

As you might imagine, a little bit of coaching can go a long way when it's time to tackle this difficult task.

I can help at any stage of the writing process, from initial brainstorming to final revisions, and have experience with Common App and Supplemental essays, as well as the UC questions. What I'm *especially* good at is helping a student find the perfect voice to tell a story that reflects their unique personality and perspective on life.

Over the past few years, I've also helped people successfully gain admission to medical schools, physician assistant programs, nursing programs, dental schools, and MBA and PhD programs. My high school students have won awards and recognition in writing contests at the regional and national levels." less...
