[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please share if your child worked with an Essay writing coach. [/quote]

Yes. We saw a flyer at the library for editing services. It was a retired English teacher ... nice side gig! My child had done a draft in English class, so the coach just worked on the draft. She made modest edits and gave my child the confidence that it was a good essay, ready to send in. They had a really low fee. I think they charge more if you need help with supplemental essays, or help from the beginning of the process. [/quote]

Please share the name and contact of the teacher,[/quote]

Everyone has " a person " but never share information[/quote]

We used Richard Montauk for essay coaching and application review. He’s by the hour.[/quote]

Can you share his rate range? Thanks![/quote]
It’s a lot and he’ll send you a bill for a consult - beware.[/quote]

Someone already shared his rate on this thread:  $300 / hour. But it's not just per hour spent talking to you/ advising, it's also the "hours" he spends reading through the materials you send him, etc which in my opinion really increases the cost exponentially. [/quote]

Those prices are robbery. The admissions officials see a highly polished essay and they know that it was bought and paid for. It detracts from the application. The essay should look like it was written by a 17 year old. Just have them use regular spell check and grammar check.

I think you mis-understand the service. The process of using a counselor / essay advisor is not for providing a "highly polished" essay at all, no one is winning a Pulitzer here for their writing - rather they are helping the students produce very individualistic essays, that really speak specifically to the person writing them. If you have to submit more than one say, its about how you achieve this without repeating your material. And that counts. [/quote]
