The only college essay coach that never writes a word for the student

Made for the parent of a high school senior in application season: see every draft, and know a person read the final one.

Sample

When I was twelve, my grandmother taught me to fold dumplings. I think this shows I am a hard worker.

Coach question

What did her hands do when you got a fold wrong? Start there, in your own words.

Questions, not sentences

The coach asks what happened. The student writes it.

Sample

The first time I burned them, she did not say a word. She ate one anyway. I thought about that for a year.

Shared with parent

Draft 3 and the coach's notes are in your view.

Nothing happens behind a closed door.

Sample

Now, when I cook for my brother, I wait before I tell him what went wrong. It is a small thing, but I learned it there.

Final read

Your first sentence already says it. Trust it and let the paragraph end sooner.

Before it goes out, the founder reads it start to finish.

That last line is yours. What changed in how you wait?
