One-on-One,
We Get It Done.
These four options come straight from what families request most. Choose what fits your teen, and I’ll take it from there.
Activities List Lab
150 characters. Not 150 words. That’s the entire space your teen gets for each activity, and short is harder than long. At competitive schools, where GPA and test scores start to look the same, the activities list is what separates two students. The reader already knows what a lifeguard does. What they don’t know is who your teen was while doing it. In one 2-hour session, we turn ten experiences into entries that reveal something meaningful about your teen, then enter all ten into the Common App together while I double-check every field.
Best for: a teen whose experiences deserve better than a job description, and a parent who wants all ten done, and done well.

Thanks for helping me complete my list so much better than I could have done on my own.
— Mia K., studentEssay Finish Line
Your teen has a draft...and questions. They want a second opinion and the confidence to know they’re submitting their best work. In one 90-minute session, we polish your teen’s Personal Statement, finalize it from a strong hook at the start to a meaningful conclusion, and upload it right into the Common App together.
Best for: a teen with a draft in hand who just needs to wrap things up and get their essay submitted with confidence.

This is exactly what I was trying to articulate, but you said it perfectly.
— Rutvik K., studentThe Common
App Core
The two pieces the heart of the Common Application rests on, handled: Your teen’s Personal Statement, finished and uploaded in an Essay Finish Line session, plus the Activities List built with me in the 1:1 Activities List Lab, so every entry earns its spot. Adults hire pros to perfect a résumé for a reason.
Best for: a teen ready to knock out both essentials in one move, and to feel confident in their submissions.

Our son was one of two in his friend group that got into UNCW's Honors College. Some had higher test scores and GPA. Must have been his standout essay.

Season Pass
Five hours 1:1 with me, to be used wherever your teen needs them most.
For one student, that’s finding a topic and drafting the Personal Statement. For another, it’s supplemental essays, honors college essays, and scholarship applications. For another, it’s all of the above — plus someone sitting with them on Zoom, answering questions and guiding them step-by-step, while they upload and submit everything to the Common App.
Your teen books time directly on my calendar — weekdays, evenings, weekends. Sessions can be as short as 15 minutes or as long as a few hours. We work around their schedule and needs.
Best for: families with a busy teen who works better with a guide than on their own.

My son went from panic and anxiety induced by a blank page to a fully written essay he’s happy with and ready to submit.

Need just an hour?
Private hourly support is available at $250/hour — no package required.
Every Core and Season Pass package includes a complimentary Family Strategy Session.
In thirty focused minutes, you and your teen leave with a clear plan for the whole application, not just the essay:
the school list
testing strategy
and straight answers to the questions you haven’t known who to ask
I move fast and we’ll cover a lot, so the session is recorded and yours to keep, ready to replay whenever you need it.
My daughter worked with Christy, and I got
to totally step back. No battles, no nagging or editing; I simply signed her up, and Christy took it from there.
