Look on Upwork.com and you can find reasonably priced people. Just look at their ratings and you can even put in your job listing “revise the paragraph” as part of the application process for the job. Give a sample paragraph and see how they do

My daughter's common app essay is almost done. We've been working with a paid counselor and two things stick out to me that make it worth it. First, my daughter stays on schedule and churns out more drafts in a small amount of time because there are scheduled review sessions that she has to target. Second is that she is getting feedback from a professional who knows what appeals to the admissions officers. She is so far ahead that she is now starting to work on her supplementals. So glad we took the plunge and hired this person.

Umm. The writing center at each college? Are you dumb?
https://writing.princeton.edu/writing-center

"Every writer needs a reader, and the Writing Center has a reader for every writer! Trained to respond to writing from a variety of genres and disciplines, Writing Center Fellows offer free, one-on-one conferences about writing at any stage in the process.

Located in New South, the Writing Center welcomes undergraduate and graduate students working on any kind of writing project, as well as postdocs and faculty working on writing related to their research. We regularly see:

undergraduate students working on essays for classes
juniors and seniors working on independent research projects
graduate students working on seminar papers, research or grant proposals, articles, or dissertations
international students making the transition to U.S. academic writing
students writing essays for fellowships or for graduate school or job applications
students crafting oral presentations
Writing Center Fellows can help with any part of the writing process: brainstorming ideas, developing a thesis, structuring an argument, or revising a draft. The goal of each conference is to develop strategies that will encourage students to become astute readers and critics of their own work. Although the Writing Center is not an editing or proofreading service, Fellows can help students identify patterns in their writing related to mechanics and sentence structure.

Writing Center Fellows are there to listen, strategize, suggest, diagnose, and offer advice. They serve as sounding boards, careful readers, and helpful critics, and are able to help draw out ideas and possibilities that are implicit in a student's own thinking and writing. Writing Center conferences complement, but do not replace, the relationships students have with their teachers and advisors."

Ha ha - good ad. “NOW” is the time to line one up? When is “now?” Parents on these boards have kids who are in middle school and also who are freshman through rising seniors. But, wait, there’s more!!

What a waste of money. These kids are ready for college but can't write an essay? Maybe it's the AP kids, my IB kids got them done quick with no fuss.
