About
Kelly Clinch - Experienced Writing Coach and College Counselor
I have over 20 years in the field of education and worked as a high school English teacher for 15 years, especially focusing on AP Literature and senior English courses. I am a Georgia certified teacher with a great deal of experience teaching students to write and helping students refine their college essays. My past students have been admitted to Harvard, Yale, Brown, Duke, Georgetown, UCLA, UNC, UGA, Georgia Tech, Clemson, Auburn, and many, many more excellent colleges and universities. Recently, I earned a Graduate Certificate in College Counseling with Distinction through UCLA. I am also an Associate Member of both IECA and SACAC. I have a passion for working with teenagers, helping them build strong college applications as they find their voice as writers.

Services
Build a Strong Application! Write Solid College Essays!
College Counseling: If you need help with the entire application process, find out more about my full-service college consulting by clicking on the College Consulting page. I can help build a strategic and balanced college list, advise a testing plan, develop a strong application, help navigate admissions requirements, and keep you organized during this sometimes stressful time. I only accept a small number of clients each application cycle so I can provide personal care and attention to each student.
Essay Coaching: A good college essay can be a key factor in an acceptance to your dream school. Your college essays may be the only way an admissions committee really gets to meet you, to learn more about you, your goals, dreams, and experiences. But how do you write essays that will stand out in that huge pile of thousands? Colleges want to hear your “voice” and often finding that unique voice in writing can be tricky! Many high school students find writing college essays difficult and time-consuming. I can help!
Pricing

The college application process is very personal. Every student has their own unique needs. To meet students where they are, I offer a variety of college consulting packages, hourly counseling, essay coaching, a la carte services, and price points to meet a variety of needs. You can also tailor a student package to meet the specific needs of your child. Please contact me for more details about the services I offer and pricing! I will work with you!
