The Best Real College Essays (FREE)
June 25, 2:30-4 PM: Time to get inspired! What are other people writing about in their college essays? Get inspired in this FREE class, where we will do a deep dive into some of my favorite REAL college essays. My former students gave permission for us to examine their writing so that you can see some best practices covering a wide range of topics, figure out how you can apply those writing tactics to your own essay, and inspire you to pick your own topic.
Brainstorming & Imagery ($45)
June 29, 12-2 PM: Struggling to figure out what to write about? Wondering how to make your college application stand out while retaining your authentic voice? And, hey, what are other people writing in their essays that colleges seem to like so much? Come find out in the hands-on writing workshop.
Intensive SAT Math & Reading/Writing Camp ($320/week)
By the end of this two-week camp, students will have an actual book of tricks to approach every type of question they are likely to see on the new Digital SAT. Students will work with my highly trained Mind the Test SAT instructors to learn how to think like a test-maker. If you want to spend three hours a day with your thinking cap firmly on; if you want to learn multiple ways to solve each problem so that you can choose the most efficient method on test day; and if you want to learn about when to use semicolons in lists (just like this one!)...Come join us!
Classes will be recorded so you can catch up if you miss one. We also offer 1:1 college essay and SAT tutoring; email me for info!
