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.

Students receive:

Online Sessions (Virtual via Zoom)

• 1 initial 75-minute strategy session: personal statement brainstorming, topic selection, and narrative planning

• 1 dedicated 50-minute polishing session: final refinement of tone, structure, and clarity

• Up to 2 additional 50-minute sessions (scheduled at the student’s request, as needed)

All sessions must occur within a 30-day timeframe.
Total: 3–4 scheduled sessions (2.5–3.5 hours of live coaching)

Essay Exchanges and Feedback

• Personal statement: up to 3 full draft exchanges with detailed Google Doc comments and revision guidance

• All written feedback returned within 48–72 hours of submission

Between-Session Support

• Deadline reminders and accountability check-ins

This full-service package is designed for students and families who want a dedicated partner throughout the entire application journey.
