College Essay Support
Find your voice and tell your story in the most authentic, exceptional essays
Good news! If your daughter participates in any of my weekly, Intuitive Writing Project programs for at least six months, she WILL cultivate the necessary self-awareness and story intelligence—the knowledge of who she is, what matters to her, and how to tell her story— to write exceptional, world-changing college essays, the kind of essays that get her into her first-choice college.
In addition to learning how to write, she will also be developing the confidence and resilience she needs to succeed in all aspects of her life. For all these reasons, TIWP writers usually don't need more than one essay coaching session, just to help them strategize on topics and themes. (Additional edits via Google doc are FREE!)
For those who choose not to support their child in a regular writing practice (either with The Intuitive Writing Project or in their own regular journaling practice), I recommend at least three sessions. (Like anything worthwhile, building self-awareness and self-knowledge takes time.) Here are some of the some of the great schools Intuitive Writing Project alumni have been accepted into, with pricing and testimonials below.
Truly, a well-told story can change your life.
-
For TIWP writers, the first (and probably only) coaching session is focused on strategizing topics and themes, after which we will outline and complete a first draft of the (650 word max) personal statement essay.
-- $150/session
-- Edits and revisions via Google docs are free.
-
For non-TIWP writers, the focus of the first 2-hour session is to help each young person connect to their unique talents, strengths, passions, and values, empowering them to tell their story in the most authentic, and inspiring way. We will also talk through, outline, and complete a first draft of the (650 word max) personal statement essay.
-- $300 for the first, 2-hour session
-- $150 for each subsequent session

Edits and revisions via Google (non TIWP students): $50/hour
"My daughter loved every minute with you. She came out from her room with a smile on her face feeling so confident and happy because you made something that could’ve been stressful into something fun and collaborative… Another thing she really liked about you was that you took the
time to really get to know her
and she appreciated that.”
— Emily, parent of a coaching student
“Thank you for all of your help with my son. I have been blown away by everything he has written and can’t thank you enough for the help and inspiration you have given him. When he’s felt “stuck” and struggled—as anyone who has undertaken any creative endeavor will understand happens—he’s always come away from your meetings invigorated and inspired.
I can’t thank you enough for that.”
— Adam, father of a coaching student

"Thank you for such a productive session and a mood changer. My daughter wrote for another hour after you finished. Most importantly, she moved from dread to enthusiasm. You really know how
to inspire our kids!"
—Sonya, mother of a coaching student
"Thank you for your incredible work with my son. Your encouragement has meant so much to him and given him a real boost of confidence. Not only was he accepted into his first-choice school, but he also learned a lot about himself in the process.”
— Jeannie, mother of a coaching student
"Elizabeth just worked with my son on his essay and made a miracle happen! She helped extract his story and he wrote the most beautiful essay with her guidance. He feels empowered by this process and is so proud of what he wrote! And I have HUGE RELIEF that it’s completed!"
