Each lesson will include practical activities, such as drafting essays, filling out sample forms, and researching scholarships.

My teaching style is supportive and engaging, focusing on providing clear, practical guidance and encouraging independent exploration.I use a combination of informative content, real-world examples, and interactive elements to keep students motivated and involved. Students can interact with me at any time during the course by using the discussion section or chatting with me directly. I'll provide feedback on assignments, such as personal statements and college essays, and be available to answer questions and offer additional guidance as needed.
