Students will understand the importance of the personal essay as a component of the college application process; they will evaluate sample essays and identify what makes them effective; they will articulate the process for writing an effective essay; they will develop an individual plan for completing their college essay.

I've worked with students 1:1 to develop and refine their college essays and personal statements for 15+ years. I have also taught workshops on writing the college application essay. My students have been accepted to Harvard, Yale, UPenn, Howard, Georgetown, and many other schools and scholarship programs.
