ESSAYS

Essay Coaching and Editing (Available a la carte)

Nobody teaches you how to write about yourself, and that’s why essays are often the reason why students wait so long to submit their college applications. While admission officers heavily weight your grades, strength of curriculum, and test scores, your essays can give your application character, charm, and insight into what matters to you.

We don’t write essays for you; instead, we teach you how to present yourself effectively and authentically. The skills you learn will translate not only to the college essay process but also to the writing you will have to produce in your academic courses.

Contact us today for help with your college application essays or any academic paper.
