Navigating admissions can be a maze, and brainstorming a topic for your personal statement can feel overwhelming! But breathe easy. Using this self-directed 30-page workbook, you'll uncover a treasure trove of personalized essay topics that truly reflect you — in just 60 minutes. Explore your unique values, delve into transformative experiences, and consider uncharted aspects of your identity (even examine those one-of-a-kind quirks and possessions that make you, YOU). And the best part? All of this comes at a fraction of the cost of hiring an essay coach to help you brainstorm. You can even purchase add-on feedback from me to get written and Loom video feedback to hear what I think could work well as main personal statement and possibly supplemental essay topics. Click this link to purchase the workbook.
Billing Details: Payment is due in full at the time of purchase.
HOURLY RATE — $150
Whether you have an already-written essay you want feedback on or just need a little help getting started with brainstorming or school-specific supplementals, single-hour blocks let you get the feedback you need before you click Submit. I'll help you identify essay topics, develop outlines, and discuss how to approach specific prompts — or I can simply perform a high-level review for typos, grammar, and punctuation.
Billing Details: A deposit of $300 (2 hours) is due at the time of booking. Any outstanding balances will be billed as they're accrued and upon project completion.
PERSONAL STATEMENT REVIEW — $400
This review is for students who have final drafts of their applicatio materials and who want an expert perspective and the constructive, actionable feedback they need to help them improve their essay and give them the confidence to click Submit. This review includes feedback on:
- The personal statement (or UC PIQs)
- The Activities List
- The Honors/Awards section
- The Additional Information section
- Supplemental essays for one school
I'll evaluate already-written essays for insight, values, style, and more to ensure the final draft hits the mark, providing detailed inline editing feedback and a Loom video review. Then, students and I meet via Zoom (if desired) for a 30-minute session to review feedback, ask and answer questions, and discuss next steps. Please allow 3 business days for the completed review. Learn more and reserve your space here.
Reviews for additional schools' supplemental essays can be added on for an additional fee.
- 2-school review: $525
- 3-school review: $675
Billing Details: Payment is due in full at time of booking.
END-TO-END PERSONAL STATEMENT + APPLICATION COACHING — $1,500
Unlimited Hours
This package is for the student who wants help identifying a strong, meaningful topic for their personal statement and guidance and support in developing that essay. After the student completes brainstorming assignments on their own, we'll begin meeting via Zoom to:
- Discuss the patterns, values, and stories the brainstorming reveals
- Complete additional brainstorming and freewriting activities as needed
- Explore potential essay structures
- Choose a personal statement topic
- Structure and outline the personal statement
- Work on the Activities List, Additional Information, and Honors/Awards sections
- Review the student's college list and applicable supplemental essays and identify high-level topics for each
Please note: School-specific supplementals are not included in this package. See the Supplemental Essay Add-On below for that service.
Moving forward, we'll collaborate to transform that brainstorming work from a rough draft to a submission-ready essay. I'll provide access to sample essays, weekly async edits/feedback, weekly Zoom meetings, and other resources that will help students confidently move forward. Working closely with students via Zoom and Google Docs, I'll help them refine their essays by fine-tuning content; improving theme and flow; and identifying grammar, spelling, and sentence structure issues.
Because this is a fixed-price package, there are no hour counts to keep track of or confusing packages to worry about. We'll work as long as it takes for the student to create an application they're proud to submit.
Billing Details: A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking. The balance is billed one month after the initial invoice date.
SUPPLEMENTAL ESSAY ADD-ON — $500/SCHOOL
Unlimited Coaching Hours for School-Specific Supplementals
This add-on is available only to students working with me on the End-to-End Coaching Package and who are applying to schools that require supplemental essays alongside the personal statement.
Once we've completed the personal statement (going through everything in the End-to-End Coaching package), we'll take advantage of the completed brainstorming work the student has already done to explore and craft supplemental essays that avoid overlap with the personal statement and showcase new sides of the student. Many schools frequently use similar supplemental essay prompts, so we'll also identify opportunities to use the same (or modified) essays for multiple schools, even if we're not working together on them. Students will finish with completed essays and a solid understanding of how to research, structure, and write other supplemental essays.
If students are applying to a college that encourages a resume (e.g., UT-Austin), we will also work together to create their student resume.
Billing Details: A 50% deposit is due at the time of booking. The second 50% will be due one month after the initial invoice date. Students can add additional schools at any time during our work together.
