My daughter really enjoyed working with Evan. She found him very supportive, guiding, and provided good advice. She felt more confident about her applications and essays after working with him.

Write Powerful & Compelling College Essays

The personal statement and supplemental essays offer students the chance to express their uniqueness by sharing personal stories not shared elsewhere in their application. The reality is, it is a far different kind of writing than students are used to. In fact, it isn’t even taught in a majority of English curriculums! I see students and parents take the same misguided steps trying to craft these pieces, adding more frustration and tears to an already fraught experience.

Instead, imagine a creative experience full of self-discovery that leads to the development of a well-written powerful personal narrative that tells your student’s story.
