🎓 College Admissions Counseling 🎓

Are you ready to embark on your journey to college success? I have over 10 years of successful college admissions coaching experience and can help your student get into their dream school. Here's what you can expect:

I start by working wtih students on their main personal statement. However, that is only one piece of the puzzle, and so I will also help your student craft a stand out and impactful activities section, show them how to write stellar supplementaries and more.

What topics will you cover?
We'll cover essay writing techniques, identifying your student's unique strengths, showing impact in your student's activities section, creating a compelling personal narrative, interview preparation, writing supplementary essays and more.

How is your class structured?
Each session is tailored to your student's needs, ensuring a personalized approach that maximizes your progress. Generally, we will work through each section of the application - starting with the common app essay and going from there. 

My teaching approach is a blend of mentorship, guidance, and coaching. I'll provide constructive feedback, modeling in writing, practical strategies, and actionable steps to help you succeed. My style is supportive and student-centered. I emphasize collaboration, goal-setting, and motivation to bring out the best in your student. You can expect a dynamic learning experience with a mix of discussions, real-life examples, and personalized feedback. 

What I am especially known for is helping test-optional students, students who are very anxious, and students have ADHD plan on create a stellar application package. 

The ideal student for this type of coaching is one who is in the spring of junior year, or summer and fall of senior year. However, I do work with students who are younger to help them hone their essay writing skills and brainstorm potential topics. 

Join us for an empowering and insightful college admissions counseling experience that will set you on the path to success. Let's work together to make your student's college aspirations a reality! 🌟
