We're two Ivy League graduates (Harvard and Dartmouth) who started a writing company because we believe writing is the gateway to higher education and a fulfilling career. We have over a decade of experience helping American and international students get into top schools such as Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and UCLA, etc.
Although there are some things that just have to be taught in person, we realize that not everyone has the time or money to afford our one-on-one coaching. So we're now offering asynchronous help as well. Send us your essay, and we'll get back to you with detailed comments and feedback. And if your essay is perfect (no feedback needed), we'll refund you 100% of your money!
01
Authenticity Check
With years of experience in college essay coaching, we know what admissions committees are looking for and can quickly spot when writing feels generic or lacks personality. We work with you to refine your essay so that it captures your true voice. Through detailed comments and suggestions, we’ll help you avoid clichés, eliminate formulaic language, and inject authenticity that lets admissions see the real you. We specialize in guiding students to reveal what makes them unique, ensuring that your essay resonates personally and memorably.
02
Precision and Clarity
Vague language can sink an otherwise strong essay, and admissions readers notice when ideas aren’t clearly expressed. We focus on sharpening your writing by identifying and replacing unclear or overly complex language. With line-by-line feedback, we make sure every sentence is precise, impactful, and focused, allowing your ideas to stand out. We help you trim the excess and choose words that say exactly what you mean, leaving no room for misunderstanding or vague impressions.
03
Narrative Strength
We know how critical storytelling is to crafting a memorable essay—years of guiding students have taught us the importance of structure and flow. Our coaching digs deep into your essay’s narrative arc, addressing the beginning, middle, and end to ensure the story builds and keeps attention. Through thoughtful feedback, we help you shape a clear and engaging structure, tying together themes and personal insights so that your essay leaves a lasting impression. From adding crucial details to tightening the narrative focus, we’ll guide you in creating a compelling story that captures readers’ interest from start to finish.
Worried about sounding like AI?
"AI detectors" are inaccurate, but experienced essay coaches can tell when writing is nonspecific or sounds overly formulaic
Colleges are cracking down on AI-generated content, treating it as a form of academic misconduct that could get your application tossed. While automated AI detectors aren’t foolproof, admissions officers can still spot writing that feels vague, overly polished, or just plain generic. As expert coaches, we know how to guide you away from these red flags and help you write with authenticity and impact. With us, you’ll develop essays that reflect your genuine voice—creative, unique, and unmistakably human—making sure your application not only survives scrutiny but truly stands out.
