$360/hr -- Full support for Common App main essay + activity list: $3600. UC PIQ essays + activity list: $7200. Combined Common App + UC PIQs: $9000.

My primary focus is helping university applicants with strategizing, planning, and revising their application essays. With twenty-five years' experience in teaching writing, I've earned a solid reputation for helping applicants garner admission to universities like Yale, Columbia, MIT, Princeton, and Brown. (See below.)

*Putting Your Mind At Ease*

The college application process can be immensely daunting, for students and parents alike. If you work with me, I will:

(a) break the workload down into achievable pieces;

(b) support you as you tackle the challenges of each essay; and

(c) help you make meaningful progress every session.

Our first meeting will identify themes for the personal statement; by our third meeting, we'll have a draft and a comprehensive action plan.

*Matriculations at Top-Tier Universities*

Education and Qualifications

school: Yale + Tufts
certified: Jon Kendall is a certified tutor

Over the past twenty-five years, I’ve taught at leading schools. I acquired my zest for writing at Yale, where I graduated with highest honors, in the top five percent. I subsequently earned a master's degree in education from Tufts. In addition to classroom teaching, I’ve been a Teacher Consultant for the National Writing Project and served for five years as a Mentor for the Fulbright Commission, a renowned non-profit established by international treaty. This coming spring I will complete my Certificate in Writing with UC Berkeley Extension.

A veteran classroom teacher, I have led courses for teachers with the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I am also a seasoned debate coach with a highly successful squad.
