Boring facts so you should trust us
I've spent over ten years teaching students in grades 6 through 12. My focus is helping students find their voice and actually say what they mean in writing, which turns out to be the whole ballgame when it comes to essays and scholarships. I recently helped a student raise her scholarship offer from $9,000 to $15,035.

Hot Take
The best college essays aren't the most impressive ones, they're the most honest ones. Students waste months trying to sound like someone they're not.
