Rising Seniors
Allison helped my son with his personal statement for this college application. She completed this Herculean feat without any parental intrusion- just between her and my son. She is incredibly adept with teenagers and has a way of communicating with them which is truly impressive- she is the ultimate “teenage whisperer.” I highly recommend her services. --Michelle Sanchez

My Style
My goal is to reduce anxiety, make the process less daunting, and be your child's support person.
I like to get to know the student, really discover what makes him/her unique and write together from there. I prefer 2-3 hour sessions where the student has time to craft an essay, work on edits, and finish a draft in the same session.
Most people are able to complete the common app in just a few sessions.
*College admissions package includes common app essay, another long essay, if needed, and all the supplementals required for up to 9 colleges. Approximate time is 40 hours.
I will also provide students with a list of college requirements and admission due dates, organize supplements by schools, and work with students until every application is submitted.
