College Essay Tutoring by Recent Columbia Grad

College essay writing sucks!

I remember what it’s like because I just graduated from Columbia University in 2018. I can help make the college application process easier and more fun for your teenager.

I work with clients on brain-storming, organization, revision, word choice and proofreading. I help them find the specific and move away from cliché.

As a former Berkeley High student, I understand the unique experiences of Bay Area kids.

Because I graduated recently, I know what colleges are looking for today and I can share my friends’ experiences at different colleges.

About me: I was an editor of The Best American Non-required Reading and the Columbia Review. I’ve also interned at McSweeney’s and tutored writing at 826 Valencia. Although I am only 23 years old, I have 5 years of editing experience and have been published in professional poetry, literary and science fiction magazines.

I’m happy to meet in your home, at a library or public space or via Skype. I have flexible hours and am available weekdays and weekends.
