How it works
Every student arrives somewhere different — some with a finished draft they don't trust, some with a blank page and a deadline. The process below adapts, but the shape stays the same.
The intro call — free, 30 minutes
We talk about where you're applying, what you've written so far, and what's actually in the way. I'll tell you what I think you need and roughly how long it'll take. If I'm not the right help, I'll say that instead of selling you a package.
Finding the subject
Most weak essays fail before a word is written, because the subject can't carry 650 words. This is usually the longest part of the work and the part students skip. Expect questions, not suggestions — my job is to find what you already know how to say, not to hand you a topic.
Drafting
You write. I don't. Between sessions you produce drafts; in sessions we work out what the draft is doing and what it isn't.
Written feedback
Send a draft any time and get detailed notes back within 72 hours. Notes come as comments and questions on your own writing. You'll never get a document back with my sentences in it.
Supplements
Supplemental essays are a different task from the personal statement — shorter, more specific, and read differently. If you're applying to several schools, we also make sure your essays work together as a set rather than repeating each other.
