Your High School Senior is happy because the essay is done, and you're happy because you didn't have to keep "reminding" her to do it. 

My goal for your student is to develop an engaging essay that they can be proud of,  that will turn heads during the admission process, and to make this a fun vs. tortuous process.

My goal for you is to relieve you of the title of Nagger. I want to take this off your plate so you can discuss other important college strategies and have an enjoyable college planning experience.

From Diane (Parent): 

 "I was truly stunned and delighted with my son's college essay. Susan took his message and helped craft it into a beautifully composed piece of writing, of which my son is very proud. Susan is a gifted writer herself, and with her patient and thougthful approach, she is able to extract the best from young minds. I am eternally grateful, and my son really enjoyed the process.  I recommend HIGHLY!"

I’ve created a process that works well for parents and students:

1. Parent/Student kick-off meeting to agree on the rules of engagement and expectations. Please note that I keep my sessions and the student's work confidential; it is up to them to share what they've written with you. However, if at any time you would like to know how the process is going or would like to discuss anything, please reach out. 

2. Begin sessions with the student. 

3. Payment must be received in advance of the first session. 

4. We will agree upon the timing for getting the essay completed, based on your student’s schedule.

From Joe in Southport: 

"Hi Susan, my wife and I read Danny's essay and thought it turned out excellent and was very impressive! We loved how it was all tied together, especially the ending. Thank you so much for working with him." 

 I offer several options so that you can choose what you and your student think is best:
