A coach for writing essays? Exactly how does that work?
To begin, we do an in-depth brainstorming session on Zoom. I ask questions. You answer. We look for the ways you learn best, pursue your intellectual curiosities, and engage in the world around you. We explore how you chase goals, think creatively, build bridges, make choices, take action, and respond to real challenge and even failure…and when we find the experience that defines you, we craft an outline.
Using the outline, you write the first draft and paste it into our shared Google Doc. I read it and embed comments, questions, and suggestions. In response, you write a new draft. And we go back and forth via Google Doc, text, and phone to elevate and polish the essay until it conveys something compelling and singular and true.
