Students can begin working with me at any point in the process. Students may have a decent draft of a personal statement and short answers, but are eager to strengthen them. Or maybe they have no idea where to start and are terrified of upcoming deadlines! I have even worked with high school freshmen and sophomores who are struggling with writing in general and want to work with someone to help things click. I work online with students from around the country.
While my process is flexible and tailored to each student, I do require at least one Zoom meeting. I have found this is the best way to understand the student’s needs, estimate the amount of time it will take to accomplish the student’s goals, and devise a plan that fits within the family’s budget.
My hourly rate for one-on-one Zoom sessions and editing/reviewing drafts outside of Zoom sessions is $150 per hour. Clients typically pay $800-1000 for my services depending on the number and complexity of essays.
