A compelling college essay can be the defining element of a successful application. This College Essay Intensive is designed for students seeking expert, personalized support to craft standout personal statements and supplemental essays that reflect both intellectual depth and authentic voice. An exceptional college essay doesn’t just tell your story—it distinguishes you. This intensive offers a focused, one-on-one experience designed to help students craft powerful, authentic essays that elevate their applications and speak directly to admissions committees.

Through one-on-one guidance, students engage in a focused, strategic writing process—from initial brainstorming to final refinement. Each session emphasizes clarity, narrative coherence, and personal insight, empowering students to produce essays that not only resonate with admissions committees, but themselves. My approach is both rigorous and supportive, helping students navigate the demands of the application process while reducing unnecessary stress. By fostering reflective thinking and effective storytelling, I help students present their most compelling selves.

Students from this program have gained admission to top-tier universities including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, NYU, the University of California system, and many, many more.

Creative writing workshops are multi-genre workshops that focus on deepening a writer's ability to craft complex and engaging pieces within a non-censored safe environment.

These genres can include fiction, playwriting, personal essay/memoir, and poetry to name a few. Writers may discover they adore syntax while working with poetry, scene building and tension with playwriting, and even description through fiction and world-building.
