Identify the Right Topic:
To identify the right topic for a student, you really have to know who they are. Our experts dive into the brainstorming process with exciting, thoughtful questions that help students to identify the hidden gems of their experience and land on the kind of story only they can tell.
Understand the Assignment:
The college essay is unlike any other writing assignment a student has ever encountered. Fortunately, we’ve seen thousands of them. We will help your student understand what a college essay is and, just as importantly, what it isn’t.
Find Your Voice:
There’s no “right way” for a student to tell their story except the one that harnesses their authentic voice. When it’s time to think about how to begin and end the essay in a powerful and memorable way, we’ll point the student towards their strengths. Some examples of strong intros include:
Ever feel like a slowly melting ice statue?
I was nine years old when I learned that I had a superpower.
Gazing up at a sea of stars from my backyard is incredible.
“You’re a pilot? Since when?” Since always.
Check Your Work:
Proofread, proofread, proofread! Your College Coach admissions consultant will provide thoughtful feedback and constructive editing to refine the essay until your student feels it reflects their best work. And we don’t farm this work out to someone else: your advisor will be with you every step of the way.
