The Revision Coach
College essay coaching, writing coaching, and executive function coaching for high school students. Based in New York City. Working with students around the world.
I'm Nick, a coach, teacher, and founder based in New York City. I provide writing coaching, college essay coaching, and executive function coaching for high school and college students. I have a lot of experience with students who learn differently or struggle with organization, and I've found that a personalized, one-on-one approach allows me to meet each student where they are and actually help them make progress.
How I Can Help
College Essay Coaching
Helping students find their story and tell it in their own voice. Personal statements, supplemental essays, and scholarship essays, from first brainstorm to final draft.
Writing Coaching
One-on-one coaching to strengthen academic writing across subjects. Grammar, structure, argument, and clarity — built to last beyond any single assignment.
Executive Function Coaching
Individualized coaching to help students manage time, reduce stress, and build the habits that make everything else easier.
My Approach
Student-Centered
Every student is unique, and my approach reflects that. I listen closely and ask thoughtful questions to help students discover their voice, identify where they struggle, and co-create strategies that fit their individual goals and learning style.
Supportive Partnership
Coaching is a collaborative journey. I’m here to guide, encourage, and offer clear feedback while creating a safe space where students feel heard, motivated, and confident to take ownership of their growth.
High Expectations
I believe in holding students to high standards that inspire their best work. I challenge them to think deeply, push beyond comfort zones, and develop skills that will serve them long-term.
What Students and Parents are Saying
“I especially appreciate your thought-provoking questions and overall approach to feedback. You not only played an important role in coaching [our child] to strengthen his essays but you also helped him to become a better writer. Your patience and steady support helped keep [our child] on the right track and helped keep [my husband] and I from losing our minds.”
