we are

college essay specialists.

We have helped hundreds of students write essays that share the best of who they are with colleges. We offer personalized support at your pace and within your budget, through workshops, one-on-one sessions and online review.

Let’s get started. Find your voice.

Workshops

We offer several workshops throughout the season: a Summer UC / Personal Statement Workshop, a Fall Supplements Workshop, and “Stay Composed” Interactive Editing Sessions.

One-on-one sessions

You can also work with us one-on-one to learn about the most effective approaches to college application writing, brainstorm your topics, plan your essays, and get feedback on your drafts.

Online Review

Once you have begun work with us (either in a workshop or a one-on-one session), you can send us your essays on Google Docs for online review.

“Kate is more than a coach. She deeply cares about who you are, what makes you happy, and what’s most important to you. She pushed my son to aim high and really think about his personal answers to tough essay prompts. As a parent, I felt at ease that Kate would bring out the best in my son.”

Charles, parent of a Piedmont High student
