Corey Cooper - The Writing & Literature Tutor

My Teacher → Tutor Story!

Hi! I’m Corey Cooper.

Having taught high school English, Literature, & Writing in elite independent schools around New England and online for more than a decade, and after seeing outstanding students craft college essays that failed to fully reflect their distinctive characteristics and capabilities, I decided I wanted to help. So I began tutoring to give families a simple, effective plan that actually works.

Now I help 11th and 12th grade students craft meaningful, memorable college essays in under ten weeks using The Essay Distinction Design Method.

How it works:

Discover: uncover what truly makes your student unique.

Shape: turn insights into a structured, clear, compelling story.

Sharpen: refine the voice, structure, and meaning for optimal impact.

Distinguish: position yourself to stand out and be remembered.

If your child is stressed, confused, or struggling to draft a compelling essay, I can help.

Message me the word "Essay," and we can talk about your child’s current strengths and weaknesses when it comes to their college essay!

The Essay Distinction Design™ Method:

Step 1 – Discover: Reveals what makes your child remarkable so they gain complete clarity on the story only they can tell.

Step 2 – Shape: Transforms your child’s insights into a compelling narrative so admissions officers immediately understand your child's unique character and perspective.

Step 3 – Sharpen: Refines every aspect of the essay so your student's voice comes through with authentic clarity and confidence ...and leaves a lasting impact.

Step 4 – Distinguish: Positions your child to stand apart from thousands of well qualified applicants so they're remembered long after their application is read.

These steps help your child go from from feeling overwhelmed to being:

Clear-minded → Confident → Memorable!
