Experience
I am a professional writer with a long successful career. On the side, I have enjoyed working with over 30 high school students facing the daunting college application process. I help them find their unique voice and I guide them to create an essay that is not only true, but also interesting to the reader. I teach a student how important it is to understand their audience. I have experience avoiding all of the common pitfalls of the essay process and students of mine have been accepted at: Stanford, University of Virginia, Columbia, NYU, Cornell, Georgetown, USC, University of Washington, and more. For many of these students the entire process has been handled through email and phone calls. Meeting face-to-face is nice, but not necessary.
