College Application Personal Statement or Supplemental Essay Tutoring

Looking for an extra set of eyes on your personal statement or supplemental essays for your college application? 

In this one-time class, students will receive one-on-one tutoring, including individualized feedback about content, style, development, and grammar.

Students will submit one personal statement (approximately 650 words) or up to three supplemental essays (approximately 200-400 words each) to the Outschool platform for the teacher to review before the class. The teacher will provide line-level and overall feedback on the essay(s) and will go over the feedback with the student during the session. The teacher will also recommend next steps in the revision process as needed.

If students are unable to submit their essays before the start of the session, the teacher can conduct a live-read, which will entail going through the essay and offering suggestions based on the development and content. To get the best results of the session, though, students are strongly encouraged to submit their work at least 24 hours before the session.

Note: Students are welcome to submit personal statements for "non-college" opportunities as well. This can include high school admission essays, scholarship essays, summer program applications, etc.
