College application essays are unlike your typical high school essays. Most students have not had much experience writing about themselves in a way that showcases their best qualities along with their writing ability. In my three years of working in admissions at an Ivy League university, I have read about two thousand college essays and supplemental statements that run the gamut from unremarkable to extraordinary. How do you write an essay that stands out? In this class, I help students anywhere in the college essay writing process, from identifying essay topics to polishing their final draft. This class is ideal for a student who: - needs help brainstorming or selecting essay topics - is looking for feedback on a completed essay draft - is struggling with college-specific supplemental essays or short-answer questions - needs an additional session after completing my four-session course What you can expect from me: - I will ask a lot of questions to better understand the student and their goals. - I will help the student to identify the theme(s) of their essay, deepen their self-reflection, and make new connections. - I will point out spelling and grammatical issues. - I will offer suggestions about the organization and flow of the essay. - I can help students identify appropriate word choices. - I will work with the student to determine what their next steps will be and review any updates submitted in a timely manner before class. Please message me with any questions or to request a meeting time. I look forward to working with you!
