This package focuses exclusively on the personal essay and supplemental writing. Through one-on-one coaching, I guide students from idea generation to final draft, helping them discover meaningful topics, refine their voice, and produce writing that stands out in a competitive admissions process.

Online Sessions (Virtual via Zoom)
1 initial 75-minute strategy session: personal statement brainstorming, topic selection, and narrative planning

Up to 2 additional 50-minute sessions (scheduled at the student’s request, as needed)
All sessions must occur within a 30-day timeframe.
