EVERYONE HAS A STORY TO SHARE.

When colleges want to know about students, sure, grades and test scores matter, but essays give applicants the opportunity to share parts of themselves that can’t be reflected in transcripts. And often that’s the part that makes them stand out.

One of the most personal assignments of their academic career.

“In many ways, this is one of the most important narratives students will ever compose. That said, it needs to come from them.”

After my first meeting with Mrs. Tate, all my worries went away. Mrs. Tate was invaluable from the start, from helping me to develop essay ideas to working with me on editing my essays. Writing a college essay is different from writing a school paper, and Mrs. Tate did such a great job of teaching me the way to structure a college application essay and supporting me all the way through the process!

Writing is not my strength. Lori helped provide me with guidance as I crafted my essays. She took the time to work with me on structuring each of my sentences, while using my words and ideas. Lori worked hard to make sure that my essays showed the unique parts of who I am. She is passionate, goal-oriented, encouraging, supportive, and a fantastic writer.
