College Essay Coaching
Craft Essays That Stand Out
For over 10 years, I’ve helped students turn their personal stories into powerful, authentic college essays. With a background in teaching English and social studies, I guide each student through the stages of the writing process, ensuring they complete their essays with clarity, confidence, and a strong sense of ownership.
I bring a deep understanding of storytelling, writing instruction, and the U.S. college admissions landscape. Through a custom curriculum, thoughtful, question-based feedback, and engaging one-on-one sessions, I help students craft essays that reflect their values, showcase their unique voices, and bring their experiences to life. By the end of our work together, students have polished essays they’re proud to share with admissions officers.
My impact goes beyond college applications. Through working with me, students become stronger, more capable writers and clearer thinkers and communicators–important skills that will serve them in college and beyond.

As a college essay coach, I offer:
A Structured, Student-Centered Process – Each student receives a clear, personalized plan that reflects their strengths, experiences, and goals, with guidance across each stage of the application process.
Deep Knowledge of U.S. College Admissions – My work is informed by a nuanced understanding of how selective colleges evaluate applications, helping students craft essays that are authentic, intentional, and well-positioned within the broader admissions context.
Question-Based Feedback & Live Coaching – Through asynchronous feedback and dynamic one-on-one sessions, I help students develop authentic, compelling narratives that highlight their voices, values, and potential.
Comprehensive Support Across Applications – Coaching packages are designed to provide consistent guidance across multiple schools and deadlines, offering continuity, accountability, and structure throughout the admissions cycle.

Students can work with me through comprehensive coaching packages or through limited, targeted support, depending on their needs and stage in the process.
Coaching is primarily offered virtually via Zoom. In-person sessions in New York City may be available on a limited basis and are priced separately.

I offer coaching packages to support students in developing thoughtful, authentic personal statements and school-specific supplemental essays through a structured, guided, and iterative process.
