Session 1– This 2-hour session is where clients get off to a strong start. Katie will walk them through the dos and don’ts of college admissions essays, help them brainstorm topics, choose a topic, and guide them through an introductory paragraph: the most important part of the admissions essay. Instruction is capped at 4 clients per session to ensure individual attention.
- Q: I’ve already started my essay. Why do I need session 1?
- A: Students are often eager to pursue the first topic that comes to mind. However, this is rarely advisable. Clients will greatly benefit from an experienced professional helping them sift through their ideas and pick the strongest one. The rest of the writing process is much easier when starting with a strong topic.
Session 2– This 2-hour session is where Katie will meet with clients after they’ve drafted their essay. Here, they will revise, edit, and polish with Katie’s feedback and guidance. Instruction is capped at 4 clients per session to ensure individual attention.
Session 3+— For clients who have chosen individual tutoring rather than group, Katie will continue to meet with them an unlimited amount of times to ensure that their CommonApp essay is completed to their satisfaction.
Final Look– After session 2, clients will e-mail Katie their finished essay. She will look it over once more and provide final feedback. After this, the essay is ready to submit!
Location– Sessions will be held in a public location such as the library or a coffee shop.
