No-Stress College Application and Essay Coaching

My daughter and I set a goal to have all college/Common App essays completed by the end of the summer leading into senior year. Getting a kid to sit down, focus, and put the time and energy into writing thoughtful essays during the summer is no easy task, but Michelle helped set a timeline and it likely wouldn’t have happened without her support! Together they stuck to the deadlines they set, brainstormed, and created multiple essays I know my daughter felt very proud of. Michelle knows her audience and is engaging, fun, yet also tough when necessary. I will be recommending her to friends with rising seniors and highly recommend her to all of you checking out her website. Thank you, Michelle!

"Thank you so much for working with my son. He was never good with getting his ideas on paper. We appreciate the time and energy you put into showcasing what a sensitive and caring young man he is."

"Going into the application process, I looked at my essay questions with disbelief, confusion and stress–I could not understand how they could possibly get done not only on time, but well. My mom told me she had scheduled an appointment with a woman who helps out applicants, and I was a bit hesitant at first. When we first saw her, I knew it was going to be good–she was friendly and cheery, but 'laid down the law' when I needed it. I don’t know what I would have done without her help!"

Michelle worked with my son, and I can honestly say he wrote the best essay of his entire 12 years of school with her help. He got into his top-choice colleges as well, and most importantly, he came away from the process feeling confident and proud of his work.  Michelle has a gift, not just for writing, but for connecting with students and helping them find their authentic voice. I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone navigating the college admissions process.
