College Essay Writing Course (virtual)

We're talking about getting your college application essay done over the summer months.

Why?

When you start school again, you'll have SAT prep, applications to complete, letters of recommendation to round up...oh, and classes, too! If that sounds stressful, we can help.

Our mission is to make the college application process less stressful. The College Essay Writing Course was created to provide students with direction, advice, instruction, and support. Finish your college application essay over the summer before senior year starts.*

Here's How it Works:

  • Class meets virtually Tuesdays and Thursdays 7:00-8:00 p.m. EST.
  • Essays are due Sunday (at midnight) and are returned with notes on Tuesday.
  • You will have time to ask questions during class.
  • For extra help, sign up for 1:1 tutoring sessions each Friday.
  • You'll receive step-by-step instructions to organize and write your essay.
  • You will be coached to complete one essay.
  • You will need time in and out of class to complete your essays.

REGISTRATION BONUSES

Students who register for this course will also receive weekly emails explaining each phase of the college application process.

They will receive a downloadable spreadsheet to help keep track of their application materials.

They can ask our experts questions about the application process in the lead-up to their course and during the session.

*This course does NOT guarantee your student will complete their essay. We do not write the essay for your student. We provide them with support and guidance so they can do their best work.
