Services
Help your applications stand out!
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 in the menu above! 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? Students know how to write academic papers, but college essay writing is very different. It is more personal. 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
Consulting Packages and a la carte Essay Coaching Available
I offer a variety of consulting packages and price points to meet a variety of needs. You can also tailor a student package to meet your needs. Please contact me for more details about pricing for college consulting!
I offer "fixed fee" essay pricing, since no one really knows how much time it will take each individual student to write a stand-out essay. Everyone is different. There is no hourly rate, so parents know the costs up front before we begin. Price points include the entire writing process from brainstorming to final product.
