Step 1: 30-Minute Consultation
A short call to understand where you are: your school list, what's drafted, what's due first. Both parents and students are encouraged to be on the call. For DP2 students, I will build around your IA and EE dates so you're not writing a personal statement the week your Extended Essay is due.
Step 2: The Package
The Draft Edit: For students with a personal statement draft
Three rounds, each with a job:
- Round One –– Structure. We rebuild how the essay moves: what it opens on, what it withholds, where it turns, and what it earns by the end.
- Round Two — Story. Creative writing techniques applied to your essay: scenes instead of summaries, specific details instead of general claims, and a shape that keeps a reader reading.
- Round Three — Voice. Line by line, until it sounds like you at your sharpest. Clear enough to read once, distinct enough to remember.
Every round includes:
- A live 1-on-1 Zoom session, working through the draft together
- Section-level rewrites wherever a paragraph is working against you
- Written commentary on every change, so you leave understanding why
The Statement Edit: For students starting their personal statement from a blank page
- Live brainstorming sessions designed to surface the material you'd never have thought to mention
- A full read of your resume and activities, mined for the story already buried in them.
- A detailed outline before you write a word, so your first draft is a plan being executed.
- Real support through the blank page itself. You write at your own pace, and I'm there at every stage, not waiting at the end for something to fix.
- Everything in The Draft Edit.
The Application Edit: For students who want their dream schools done right.
- Supplemental essays for up to 3 schools. Every school's supplements are a fresh chance to show a different side of the same person.
- "Why us" essays that could only have been written for that school. Specific faculty, deep research, and my notes on what has landed there before.
- Activities list strategy. Which entries earn their place, what order they belong in, and how to make 150 characters carry real weight.
- A complete application review before you submit, covering the sections students never think to check, where small errors quietly cost you.
- Direct access between sessions. Most consultancies route you through a coordinator. You'll have me.
- Everything in The Statement Edit.
The Admit Edit: For students who want every advantage, on every application, until the last decision.
- Unlimited supplemental essays across your entire school list, however long it becomes.
- Recommendation letter support. Teachers write generic letters when left alone, not because they don't care but because they have forty to write. I help you give yours the specific anecdotes that make sure those letters reinforce your narrative instead of restating your transcript.
- Full interview preparation, including mock interviews. Recorded, reviewed, and run until you stop sounding rehearsed.
- Deferral and waitlist support. The letters most students send after a deferral are updates and brags that could belong to anyone. Yours will do something different, and it will be built on the same case your application already made.
- Direct access to me, throughout the cycle, for anything.
- Everything in The Application Edit.
