Mindy Pollack-Fusi works one-on-one with students to coach them on their college application essays in person (greater Boston area) or online. "We had
reached the point of terminal frustration. My son’s high
school 'essay support person' helped him create a terrible
essay. He was upset because he had poured significant
effort into an essay that could not be used. I was upset
because we were going to miss our deadline. An internet
search led us to Mindy. She stepped in, quickly built a
relationship with my son, helped him refocus and guided him to
the completion of a great essay. Now my son is blaming me
for having not found Mindy sooner."
“Thank you again and again for your
help. I got into 7 colleges and know my essay made the
difference!"
As college application deadlines loom, parents and students admit that the essay is the #1 task students dread, avoid, or wait to tackle last minute. Yet it is a vital tool for providing depth to your application. The essay introduces the person behind the grades, scores, and extracurricular activities. And it sometimes makes the difference between an acceptance or rejection from your desired college. During the past decade, I have coached hundreds of high school students on their college application essays. I guide them toward passionate essays that reflect their personalities and unique qualities. While the essay alone cannot help a student get into college, it provides an edge in the admissions process and helps students gain acceptance to the colleges of their dreams. I will not write the essay for you! We will discuss the content and the messages your essay provides about you. Then we will adjust words, sentences, and paragraphs so you and your writing are effervescent. This is how I work with students:
Unlike most essay coaching services, I work with students personally; I never subcontract to junior assistants! Read Mindy's "College Application Essay."
