Why does your student need help?

Like anything else in life, coaching helps improve and reach the next level. College admissions are highly competitive, and college essays and PIQs give your student a chance to stand out among their peers. Our College Essay Coaches will help your student be authentic while standing out in the highly competitive crowd of Bay Area students.

A good writer also faces writer's block at some point. Our experienced College Essay Coaches will bring a fresh perspective to your student’s writing and help them think outside the box.   As the deadlines are fast approaching, this is your student’s chance to complete a cohesive narrative by working smarter, not harder.
