College Essays Your Kid Will Be Proud Of
(Even Though They'll Probably Play It Cool)
What if I told you that college essays don't need to be stressful? With the right plan and coaching, college essays become an exciting exercise of self-discovery and imagination.
Show Colleges Your Best
College applications require students to understand who they are and what they value so that they can share that with colleges. Greg's personable, down-to-earth approach helps students explore what makes them truly unique. Through thoughtful brainstorming exercises, Greg helps students achieve epiphanies of self-understanding, leading to strong personal statements & application essays.
What You're Getting
Greg helps with the creative content students need to craft for their applications: selecting essay topics, outlining essays, refining essay drafts, explaining special circumstances & writing impactful extracurricular activities descriptions. These are the areas of the application where professional coaching makes a difference - students can do everything else themselves!
Make the Most of Your Extracurriculars & Activities
Did you know that there is a section of the Common Application that gives students 150 characters to describe each of their extracurriculars and activities? Greg helps students curate the key details of their involvements to maximize their impact.
Avoid Red Flags
Many students mistakenly share things that they shouldn't on their college applications. Greg helps students avoid topics and details that would hurt their odds of admission, keeping students' essays positive and focused on the things that colleges want to hear.

What Students Are Saying
I cannot imagine how the admissions process would have been without Greg's help.
His guidance helped me pick the perfect topics for my essay and aided me in telling the story that I wanted to tell. Also, Greg was really fun and made sure to keep a stress-free environment the whole time!
If there's one piece of advice I'd give to every incoming senior facing the stressful seasons of college applications, I'd tell them to invest in an essay advisor!
Greg was incredibly helpful throughout my entire application process; it was beyond refreshing to have another perspective looking through/editing my college admission and scholarship essays! When I was stuck on an essay prompt, Greg was quick to offer suggestions and ideas. After only a few sessions, I felt much more confident about my essays and I would most definitely recommend him to anyone seeking out college essay prep!
Being the first one in my family to go to college, I had no idea where tobegin!
Greg had the knowledge and resources to help me build a list of colleges that matched both my criteria and my personality. We really focused on the essays! Greg challenged me to dig deep and figure out who I really am and what my goals are for college and life. My college essays are probably the best things I've ever written. I got accepted into 10/12 colleges that I applied to. Without Greg's help, I don't think I'd be going to University of Colorado - Boulder!
Writing college essays with Greg is a comfortably stress-free process.
I felt extremely prepared for applications and was able to submit my essay with confidence knowing that it was powerful and effective. Greg offers the perfect insight to formula personal, compelling essays for every part of the application process.
