Tutoring will focus on helping the student write a college application essay, which may or may not be with the Common App. We can cover the strategy of choosing a prompt, audience and purpose, and using the steps in the writing process. People often struggle with idea generation. With a college application, students may also feel like they need to say exactly what the admissions officials want to hear, but that's not the way to go. I can guide you through all of the steps and help you troubleshoot while you do all the writing. To be upfront, this is not a way to help you edit your essay, but includes an editing technique that will let you feel confident as you use your brain and eyes to edit.
Learning Goals
Students will plan, prewrite, draft, and revise an essay to use as a college admission essay, likely for the Common App.

External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
