Essay Coaching

Personal Statement Essay Coaching

The personal statement is a 650-word essay submitted to most colleges and is one of the most important, and often most challenging, components of the application. It requires deep reflection and a thoughtful approach to showcasing your voice, experiences, and values in a compelling and authentic way. You'll receive step-by-step support throughout the entire writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, drafting, revising, and polishing your final piece. This package includes five 50-minute sessions, detailed feedback and editing at every stage, and unlimited editing. Note: students will be expected to spend significant time reflecting and writing in between sessions. Failure to complete assigned work between sessions may result in a need for additional sessions.

Student only.

"My son was accepted to every college he applied to except one reach school. Additionally, he received numerous merit offers and had a few schools eagerly pursuing him. We are beyond thrilled and so grateful to Jenell for helping him target a balanced list that yielded such amazing results. Her patience with our neurodivergent son and her ability to keep him on task and ahead of schedule was a gift. Needless to say, we will be back in a few years when our younger child is ready to begin their college search!"
