College Essay Coaching

The college essay, taught by people who have read thousands of them.

We help your student find a true story and tell it in their own voice, so it reads like a real person and stands out in a stack of thousands.

How it works

  • We start with the student talking, not writing. The real material almost always shows up in conversation first.
  • We find one true story and cut the rest. Readers remember a person, not a list of accomplishments.
  • We draft, read it aloud, and revise line by line until it sounds like them and no one else.

Who it is for

  • Juniors and seniors writing the Common App personal statement and supplements.
  • Strong writers who sound generic, and students who freeze at the blank page.

What you get

  • One on one sessions, fully online.
  • A finished personal statement and a clear plan for the supplements.
