Admissions Writing Coach
Make it stand out.
K-12 Admissions.
Writing is tough. It’s demanding and time consuming, and for nearly everyone, super intimidating. Add that to the already high stakes of school admissions, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed at the thought of crafting the perfect essay that seamlessly weaves a narrative demonstrating the best of you and your family with your educational philosophies and priorities. Luckily, we are here to help! Whether for Kindergarten, 6th, 9th, or attrition-based admissions, we offer highly personalized, one-on-one support to guide you through the essay-writing process, creating a fun, engaging, stress-free environment to get you to the application you can’t wait to send.
College Admissions.
At its best, the college admissions essay is the part of the application process where you can show up as a whole human person with passions and interests and ideas and curiosities. You have the opportunity to show that you are so much more than test scores and grade point averages. We offer personalized support at your pace and within your budget, through workshops, one-on-one sessions and online review to help you write that killer essay you always knew you could.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story can make all the difference.
