Before Covid, an essay counted for as much as 25 percent of a college admissions decision. Now that the virus has upended SAT and ACT testing, admissions officers may place even greater value on application essays.


Parents can outsource the stress arising from this change by engaging The Essay Conqueror to help  their student allay their fear of writing and lessen their tendency to procrastinate.  


As a coach, I guide the student to compose college application essays that are compelling, thoughtful, and authentic—in other words, writing that shows both who they are and who they want to become.

In private, one-hour Zoom sessions,  I provide instruction and guidance tailored to meet a student’s needs and goals. With customized coaching techniques I break the process down into manageable tasks that make it both fun and fulfilling. 


A boutique approach:


‣ A complimentary 20-minute consultation over Zoom to discuss the process and check coach-student chemistry (this is a personal relationship, so there's got to be good flow)


‣ Multi-session packages that combine on- and off-camera work


‣ Biographical intake and aspiration documentation


‣ Review and analysis of successful application essays 


‣ Targeted assignments designed to provoke thought as well as limber up the writing muscles  


‣ Selection of essay prompts that align with a student's material


‣ Instruction in grammar, usage, voice, tone, and structure—where needed
