One on one essay coaching
An expert beside them, from blank page to done.
Five one on one sessions and unlimited email support to take your student from no idea to a finished essay, guided by someone who has gotten students into the Ivy League.
Why work with a coach
The essay is too important to write alone
A course tells your student what to do. A coach sits with them and makes sure it gets done, and done well.
An expert who has done it
Your student is guided by someone who has navigated Ivy admissions and helped hundreds of students earn a place, not a template or a chatbot.
Built around your student
Every session works on their story, their schools, and their timeline. Nothing generic, nothing they could have pulled off a shelf.
Momentum, not just notes
Live sessions plus email between them keep the essay moving all the way to finished, instead of a draft that stalls halfway.

What families say
"The feedback I received on my essay was incredibly thorough. Rather than just correcting grammar, they helped me identify deeper issues with structure and storytelling that I never would have noticed on my own. Their comments were actionable and made my essay significantly stronger. I felt like they genuinely cared about helping me present the best version of myself to admissions officers."
"Working with this consultant was one of the best investments I made during the college application process. The feedback was clear, detailed, and incredibly helpful. They helped me turn a good essay into a much stronger and more compelling one. Highly recommend!"
"What impressed me most was how honest and thoughtful the feedback was. Instead of simply telling me what I wanted to hear, my consultant pointed out weaknesses in my essay and explained exactly how to improve them. The result was a much more authentic and impactful personal statement. Their ability to identify both big-picture issues and small details made a huge difference. I would absolutely work with them again."
"I came into the process thinking my essay was already pretty strong, but my consultant helped me see several areas where it could be improved. The feedback pushed me to think more deeply about my story and how I was presenting myself. Not only did my essay improve dramatically, but I also learned a lot about effective writing and storytelling. The entire experience was professional, supportive, and extremely valuable."
"The quality of feedback exceeded my expectations. Every suggestion had a clear purpose and helped strengthen my essay. My consultant was able to quickly identify what admissions officers would find compelling and something that shouldn't have been in my essay (oops!). My essay felt much more focused and memorable. I highly recommend their services to any student serious about putting together a strong application."
"I can't recommend this consultant highly enough. This is the only essay review service on the market that considers my unique situation and story when evaluating my essay. I got recommendations that were specific to only me. I finished the process feeling much more confident about my application and the story I was telling. A fantastic experience from start to finish."

Frequently asked questions
What happens on the call?
A short conversation about your student's grade, the schools they are aiming at, and where the essay stands today, so we can map the right plan. No pressure.
How are the sessions run?
Sessions are one on one. Five 45 minute video sessions over Zoom.
How long does the whole thing take?
It moves at your student's pace and around your deadlines. Most families like to do 1 per week for 5 weeks.
Who works with my student?
An expert from the team will be matched with your student based on their situation and goals.
Is five sessions enough to finish an essay?
For a single strong personal statement, yes, with the unlimited email support carrying the work forward between sessions. Students with broader needs are exactly who we map a fuller plan for on the call.
Can you help with supplemental essays too?
Yes. That often comes up on the call, and we will fold it into the plan for your student.
What does it cost?
We go over pricing on the call, where we can point you to the right option for your student rather than a one size fits all number.
