While we focus on the college essays, we can begin coaching with students as early as 9th, 10th, or 11th grade, providing regular support to help gain clarity about their interests, talents, and values. We then work together to build their life story, or "college profile," through well-chosen experiences, out-of-school programs, and their own original projects. This process positions each student for success in the college essay writing process, while developing the essential life skill that are most predictive of positive life outcomes.

​

We ramp up our support to bring a sense of calm and ease during the college essay writing process, ensuring that all students put their most authentic and compelling story forward in a way that moves them closer to their desired college admissions outcomes. 

 

We firmly believe that college is only one step in creating a life marked by career stability, financial independence, good health, and positive relationships. However, we recognize that the college essay writing and application process offers one of life's true rites of passage, a time when a young person first begins to declare their own individual path in life. Our role is to help them do so with a resolute sense of where they are headed.​

The college application process can be an overwhelming experience. Trevor had the unique skill to put my daughter at ease and help her bring out the best in herself. He aided my daughter through her college application essay journey with skill and clear direction. When I read the final essay, I cried my eyes out. It was absolutely beautiful and encapsulates who she is. Thank you!

You are an absolute magician. You helped me put things into words that I couldn't. You have a real gift.

It is absolutely remarkable and crucial for us to have found Trevor. He is part of our daughter's life now, and therefore ours, and he is the perfect definition of a mentor. With his experience, skills, and methodology, together with a sincere passion for his work, he has managed, from the first moments, to help Camille discover her strengths, her points for improvement, as well as other skills and passions that she had not yet seen in herself. All of this will make it easy for her

to establish the corresponding action plans for her future.

To make something as frightening as a college essay feel like creating an exciting piece of art is a very rare ability and one which Vicki encapsulates in its entirety. With her kindness and genius she leads you down the path of articulating yourself ... by the end, not only will you have an essay this is a snapshot of who you are, but you will also have a deeper understanding of what makes you, you. I cannot thank her enough, or give higher praise.”

I just wanted to reach out to let you know I got into my ED of Duke! Thank you so much for all your help on my essays. I really would not have been able to do this without you!

I cannot recommend working with Trevor highly enough for the business school application process. His attitude is so calming -- it takes all of the stress out of a typically high stress process. He takes a very holistic approach and prioritizes your story as a candidate as the most important thing to shine through. He brings a tremendous amount of expertise both in terms of concise and powerful storytelling, and advising on what is important to weave in based one what business school admission teams are typically reading for, based on years of experience. He was particularly helpful in decoding what a question or essay prompt was asking and translating that into what aspects of my story we should highlight for that prompt. Trevor is incredibly responsive, kind, and a delight to work with and I will be sending anyone in my network applying to business school (or graduate school of any kind) his way.
