Our Approach
Essay Coaching
The Heart of Your Application
For many students, the essays are the most challenging part of the college application. And yet, they are the most powerful tool you have. This is your chance to give admissions officers a reason to choose you over thousands of similarly qualified applicants.
But, writing an effective college essay requires a completely different approach than what most students are used to. Even the strongest students can struggle to identify what’s worth sharing and how to create a compelling story.
With a background in storytelling and years of guiding students through this process, we specialize in helping students find the moments that matter and turn them into essays that leave a lasting impression.
How We Can Help
Writing about your own life can be hard, especially when you're not sure what’s worth sharing. We’ve worked with students who firmly believed they had nothing interesting to say, before helping them uncover moments that revealed their character in interesting ways.
Together, we’ll focus on:
Finding the right stories to tell. We’ll uncover the moments, insights, and experiences that reflect who you are, even if you’re not sure yet.
Drafting and revising with intention. Your essays will reveal how you think and the kind of perspective you’ll bring to a college community.
Bringing clarity and cohesion to your application. We’ll make sure your essays work together and complement the rest of your application.
Whether you’re starting with a blank page or refining a rough draft, we’ll guide you through a process of reflection, feedback, and revision to bring out your voice.
