packages and pricing

I provide every student with highly personalized, one-on-one support through the entire application essay writing process. My packages are designed to maximize student performance on the essays, whether as a turbo-boost to a student’s full-service college consultant or as a standalone service supplementing online and college and career center resources at the student’s school.  Depending on your needs, I offer three different packages:
