Huge fan of College Essay Guy. DD did the 4-week online course last summer. I think it was about $300 and totally worth it. His planning tools and push to show not tell really helped. I listened in on the first session and really appreciated how he spoke with students. Very positive and supportive. The personal essay is like nothing else they’ve had to write.

I believe that there are editor/consultant services one can hire through College Essay Guy.

(She was accepted at Cornell.)

How much are the private services?

I’m the poster you’re quoting. I have no idea. We did not use any outside help other than the live online class. But I recall seeing the services listed on his website.

Price: $4900 for application to 3 schools, $8050 for application for 10 schools

eek! I thought it would be an hour or two at maybe $150/hour

Our coach was really helpful with essay feedback. Spent more than 2 hours because she is very interactive and asks a lot of questions w/follow up (won't offer wording), so the essays stay the kid's voice/work. It takes time, but, she charges less (close to half) than $150/hr. Kid in at Brown, NU, Dartmouth and LACs. Happy to post contact info if people are interested. She's also really good at advising on videos, arts supplements and financial aid (helped us save 10k).

Could you kindly post - interested

Sure -- [e-mail]
Works via zoom, telephone or in person and does some essay help in real time and some by comments in Google doc. Also really good at helping with EC/Honors phrasing (will help with wording for that, since it is not a writing sample for the kid).

This is insane.
I spent about 2K for help with 10 schools. Got the results we wanted.

Look for someone who charges by the hour rather than by the school

Any recommendations for an excellent essay writing coach?

Hi there -- I have been helping students with college essays for the past few years informally and have now started taking on students for the 2024/2025 admissions cycle. I charge $120/hour and have helped students apply and get into schools across the U.S. including many DC-area schools. Feel free to reach out to me at [e-mail] - you can also message me at 571-207-5466. Happy to set up a call and discuss how I can best help your student!

Best Regards,
Teja

We found a tutor through Wyzant. Search “college essay advisor” and pay by the hour. 3 sessions so far and the main essay is done. He had my son brainstorm, write 3 drafts in different topics, pick one and edit.

He is now helping him go through the supplement questions.

Seems well worth the $ IMO.

I got a lot of hits with this search. Anything else to search for? Would like to use /try someone that someone else has also used.
