Option 2: Following the 45-minute session described above, the student writes a practice essay—40 minutes for the ACT, 50 for the SAT (longer for each if allowed extended time). After receiving a scanned version of the handwritten essay by text or email, I return it by the same method in a week or less with detailed written feedback.

2 -- College Application Essays
Via Zoom, Skype or FaceTime, we'll examine the big picture and important details
— whether you need just a push in the right direction, assistance from start to finish or something in between
Option 1: JUMP START YOUR COMMON OR COALITION APP ESSAY
Together, for 45 minutes, we'll:
-
Clarify the role of the essay in the application process
-
Generate initial content ideas
-
Discuss how to structure the essay
-
Determine a timeline for completing the essay with minimal stress
Ideal for the student who doesn't know where to begin—and for parents and guardians who seek meaningful assistance with this critical piece of their child's college application but want their child to take ownership starting with the first draft.

Option 2: FLEXIBLE GUIDANCE FOR COMMON OR COALITION APP AND OTHER APPLICATION ESSAYS
It depends how far along in the process the student is when I'm contacted, so call, text, WhatsApp or email me to discuss procedure and fee. But please note that while guiding students through the writing process for college applications, I DO NOT WRITE STUDENTS' ESSAYS FOR THEM.
