One-on-One College Application Coaching
Personalized support to help emphasize your strengths and stand out
If you’re looking for individual guidance as you navigate the college application process, you’re in the right place. My one-on-one coaching sessions are designed to reduce stress, boost confidence, and help you present your most authentic, compelling self to colleges.
What You’ll Gain From Coaching
Uncover the Real You
Together, we will explore and clarify your values, strengths, interests, and skills. We will discover what truly sets you apart—even if you don’t have a life-changing story to tell.
Brainstorm & Build Compelling Stories
We’ll identify powerful topics for your personal statement, supplemental essays, and resume. I will guide you in developing ideas that highlight your individuality, thoughtfulness, and authenticity.
Structure Your Story with Confidence
No matter your writing ability, I’ll help you choose the best structure—whether it’s a personal narrative, a series of meaningful moments, or something uniquely you.
Stay Organized & On Track
Avoid the last-minute scramble. I’ll help you develop a realistic timeline, manage deadlines, and work through your application efficiently, without the stress.
What to Expect
Sessions are typically one hour and take place via Zoom unless the student lives in the Atlanta area and prefers to meet in person.
