Application Essay Consulting

Whether your higher education journey is just beginning or you're applying for a terminal degree program, the essay is an important part of any application. From picking a topic to telling your story to editing a final draft, you have a dedicated and knowledgeable partner. Students remain in control during every stage of the writing process with the added benefits of real-time feedback, guidance, and recommendations. Support for supplemental essays is also available.

College Transition

When I worked in higher education, I saw talented students struggle, often because they hadn't solidified the skills they'd need for success in college or hadn't had the opportunity to learn about the resources and services available to them on campus. The College Transition offering provides students the toolkit of techniques and tips they'll need and introduces relevant university services and resources. Whether you're entering your first semester of higher education or seeking a new degree after attending to a family or career, you don't have to navigate your adjustment to life in higher education alone.

Dissertation and Thesis Coaching

Creating a large written work requires effective planning, and long-term effort can be difficult to maintain without some help. Bring a partner into your process to help set and reach realistic goals, break through barriers impeding your progress, strengthen your writing and analysis, and stay motivated. On-going coaching relationships that address all stages of the research and writing process as well as editing services are available.

Past thesis and dissertation client works encompass a wide variety of fields including education, heliophysics, sociology, biostatistics, computer science, and marketing and branding pursued at institutions such as William & Mary, Vanderbilt, University of Michigan, Harvard, and Yonsei University in South Korea.

Over the time we worked together, she helped me take down the barriers that were preventing me from moving forward in my process and assisted me in creating a plan to get to the finish line and achieve my goal. She was very helpful with revising and editing my writing to strengthen it. She helped me think creatively, so I could clarify and expand upon my findings. Amy not only pointed out grammatical errors and typos, but she made sure I was able to keep my voice consistent in my writing. Because of her, I was able to finish my doctoral degree, something that I will be forever grateful to her for." %} {% let stars = 5 %} {% include "review.html.j2" %} {% let name = "Langston J." %} {% let title = "Academic Coaching client" %} {% let quote = "Amy is honestly a wonderful tutor.

She took the time to go through my entire dissertation and leave detailed feedback on every page (and there are so many of them)!!! The comments were all thoughtful and tailored specifically to my school's formatting and content requirements; she took the time to look them up without me even thinking to ask her to check against those. And she got through the entire thing in such a quick amount of time given how much material there is-I can go on and on!! I can't recommend Amy enough to anyone who needs tutoring or writing services, or if you have a dissertation that needs editing; not only is she incredibly detail-oriented and great at writing, she's also an absolute pleasure to work with!" %} {% let stars = 5 %} {% include "review.html.j2" %}
