SERVICES

Are you ready to let an expert help your child?

  • As a parent, you have many options for who can hire to help your student with their college essays. The multitude of choices can leave you scratching your head as to what the best decision will be for your family.

    You can hire an Ivy League graduate whose main qualification is that they got into a prestigious college years ago…but that's a bit like taking a cooking class from someone simply because they got a reservation at a Michelin star restaurant.

    You can hire an admissions advisor who can help you with lots of decisions, but has no experience teaching writing…but this is like hiring a financial advisor who can help you choose a bank but knows nothing about handling money.

    Or you can hire me!

    I have admissions committee experience and over 20 years experience teaching writing

Brainstorming

I learn about your student and hear his or her stories. We discuss what stories make for better essays.

Learning the process

Your student will also learn their own best writing process, a skill that will serve them well when they enter college next year!

Regular Meetings

We meet several times to go over specific parts of the writing and application process so that your student knows what he or she are doing and why.

Giving Feedback

I have almost twenty years of experience helping students improve their grammar, punctuation, argumentation, and style.

Revising, and revising again. . .

The best essays are revised multiple times while the student adjusts word choice, punctuation, organization, flow, and sound.

Happy clients’ testimonials

Andrew provided vital feedback and guidance on my essay(s) I submitted for schools. While I am still waiting for a decision from my #1 school, I am confident I submitted a well-structured and meaningful essay. Andrew skillfully mentored me through the writing process, always respecting my ideas and writing style, but posed questions to challenge me to give my best. The best advice I got from Andrew was to stick to the facts in my essay- reduce unnecessary language and ordering the statements to improve the overall flow of the essay.

—Cameron, student.

Cameron got into her top school, the US Naval Academy.

I am grateful to Andrew for taking the time to work with my daughter on her essays. He gave direct and clear advice that was constructive and got her to think on her own. He also worked swiftly and communicated well. Three words to describe working with Andrew are easy, convenient, and prompt.
