Protect Your Teen From a Fall Full of Overwhelm — Get Their Essay & Activities List Done Early and Done Right
More colleges are dropping their supplemental essays. (UNC and UGA just did.) That leaves the personal statement carrying more of the decision than ever. We handle it in one focused weekend, so you go back to being the parent, not the project manager. And you both get peace of mind.

You want the essay done.
Not “mostly done.” Not “I’ll do it next week” done… for the fourth week in a row.
You don’t want to nag.
They don’t want to hear it.
And yet the tension keeps building… because the deadlines are real.
It doesn’t have to be like this. And applying to college doesn’t have to overshadow your whole fall.
Here’s the one piece your teen
has to get right: Their Essay. (And they know it.)
Nearly every standout essay
has the same thing in common…
Not the most polished writing. Not the most impressive story. The reader simply finishes it with a strong sense of who your teen actually is because woven through those 650 words are
Their values.
What they’ll bring to a campus that no one else will. How they’ll be additive, not subtractive. And clear signals that they’re the sort of student a college wants on their campus.
That’s the essay we build together, step by step.
But…
Here’s the challenge:
Most teens write the wrong essay. They submit a resume in paragraph form, or a five-paragraph English paper. Admissions readers have seen that version a thousand times. And the opportunity is lost.
No one taught teens how to write a personal statement. States don’t require this kind of writing, so teachers aren’t trained in it. For almost every teen, it’s brand new. (And part of why this essay is so darn hard for them to write.)
It’s not the essay they think it is. Yes, your teen has written longer papers a dozen times the night before it’s due. But length isn’t the issue here. A strong personal statement often takes 7-to-10 rounds of revision, starting with the topic, digging for the most meaningful story, and reshaping it each time. Most teens don’t have any idea other students are putting in that kind of effort.
Which is exactly why about 1-in-4 students get professional help in applying to college. And that 25% is who your teen is really competing against. So…
Here’s the opportunity:
Certainty, not anxiety. On their own, teens are guessing, and so are you. “Is this right? What are we missing?” Get a guide who’s done this hundreds of times and who brings the insider knowledge and answers you won’t find on any online parent forum. Get the structure that keeps everything moving…so nothing gets dropped, no schools fall off the list because time ran out. And rest easy, knowing things have been done right.
The chance at real money. Statistically, many teens won’t earn scholarships. But some of my students have earned $5K to $128K (and more), with their Personal Statement playing a key role.
Turn a maybe — or a rejection — into a yes. Your teen will be compared to hundreds (thousands?) of other students with nearly identical GPAs and test scores. At competitive schools, the Personal Statement can be up to 40% of the admissions decision, weighted as more than grades or test scores combined. So what sets your teen apart is who they’ve revealed themselves to be through their essay and activities list. That’s often what earns a student more acceptances at better schools, and the freedom to choose exactly which college is best for them.
Your teen’s essay can come together in two focused days. Or the process can drag out for months.
Same teen, same assignment, two very different experiences. And you have the power to choose.

I appreciate the fact that you're REALLY good at what you do. My son didn't make it easy on you, but his essay was completed on time and as promised.

Our son actually listened to Christy (unlike when I tried to help). She got him to open up about his experiences in ways I couldn't. The results speak for themselves — he got into one of his top choice schools with a great scholarship.

My son says you really know your stuff... I appreciate how you give excellent feedback in a way that he could hear it. The process paid off, as he ended up with many offers from highly competitive colleges.

Scheduled to take the ACT or SAT on Saturday morning?
You’re covered. I’ve had dozens of students test Saturday morning and still finish the weekend. Just connect with me the week before and I’ll get your teen set up ahead of time. Then they’ll join us after lunch on Saturday and be right on pace with everyone else, ready to walk through to the end.
Your Double “Get It Done” Guarantee
If your teen joins on Saturday morning and decides it isn’t for them, let me know before the afternoon sessions, and I’ll refund you completely.
And if they show up, do the work, and still don’t have an essay they’re proud of by the end, I keep working with them until they do. However many extra touches it takes. That’s the whole promise. Your teen leaves with a finished, ready-to-submit essay (and activities list), not a “sort of.”
The lowest pricing of 2026 goes away on August 31.
Use the discount code provided on the checkout page for any upcoming workshop.
How much is this going to be?
Well, you could pay anywhere from $3,000 to $11,000 to $22,000 and well beyond that to get private essay and admissions help.
But you don't need a five-figure commitment to get expert, one-on-one guidance.
By now, your teen’s GPA is largely set. And so are the test scores. We’ll talk about both and what matters, but our main focus will be the two highest-leverage parts of the Common App that your teen can still shape:
The Personal Statement, done right.
A first-rate Activities List, not the lackluster job descriptions nearly every other student turns in.
Plus a clear plan for applying to colleges, through the Family Strategy Session, tailored to your unique situation, and answering the questions coming up right now.

The other option is to wait. And the essay gets squeezed somewhere in a packed senior fall, or written the night before the deadline, and it’s submitted during regular decision, when schools admit a lower percentage of students and the scholarship money is often already spoken for.
Or one weekend now puts your teen in their best position, giving them more offers and more options.
And you? You get to enjoy senior year with your teen.
