Experience
Does the idea of helping your teen generate ideas and craft a compelling, well-written, grammatically sound essay that wows admission officers give you night sweats? I can help. I’m a journalist who writes for The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Time and Oprah magazines, among others. My 20+ years of reporting skills help me get to really know your child so that we’re able to generate essay topics that feel fresh, not trite, while accurately reflecting their life experiences. I help with everything from the creative process of brainstorming ideas to overcoming writer’s block, revising drafts and polishing the final product. Successful essays don’t just cover what happened; they delve into why it was important, how it influenced the writer and the person they are and will become, and what happens next.
