FOR STUDENTS

I'm going to keep this short, since, I'm guessing that writing the essay is not what you dream about at night: 

1. We'll have a Parent/Student meeting to agree on the rules of engagement and expectations 

2. Depending on the package option selected, we'll have between 1 and 6 sessions (you and me)

3. We'll agree on timing for completion to keep us on track 

I'm a believer in writing down what ever falls out of your brain, because stream of consciousness in writing is very powerful and liberating. So if I ask you to just write a paragraph here or there that is messy and disorganized, have fun. We'll clean up the words and package them later. 

I also like to stay on track with our deadlines so will need realistic timing from you. If you don't meet the deliverable and we have to add on extra time you will still be charged.

I work in Google Docs so that we can discuss the essay in real time if we're reviewing it together.
 

Oh and, I don't write the essay for you. I will offer suggestions, transitions and guide you on making your story richer. But it MUST be in your voice, and told on your terms. 

"Mrs. Maurer was very helpful with my drafting and revising process... she was able to help me take a good idea from a bumpy essay to a very smooth essay with a clear and concise message and story. She was super easy to work with and we made great leaps and strides with my essay in a very short amount of time. I also loved how flexible she was...she gave me ideas while still leaving the writing in my hands. My college essay turned out great and I couldn't be more happy with it. Thanks Mrs. Maurer!"
