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.
Who I Work With
My students are high school and college students who are smart and capable but could use a coach in their corner. I work especially well with students who:
Are staring at a blank college essay and don't know where to start
Are buried under assignments and struggling to dig out
Want to become stronger, more confident writers
Have trouble managing their time, staying organized, or balancing everything on their plate
Learn differently and need a more personalized approach
I'm Nick, a coach, teacher, and entrepreneur 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.

Your patience and steady support helped keep [our child] on the right track and helped keep [my husband] and I from losing our minds.”
