How The Essay Academy Works
Step 1: Complete the Pre-Work
In the College Essay Boot Camp you will learn the mindset, perspectives, strategies you need to THINK more effectively as a college applicant. Here we cover the major obstacles, and the secret traits that automatically make you stand out to reviewers!

Step 2: One-on-One Strategy Sessions
That's right, you and me. 1-1. Not a class of other students listening in, not just communicating through a chat bot, no generic pre-recorded videos... its you and me, and I guide you through a series of deep dive exercises to help you influence people using "The Influence Mindset". We will discover three key things:
1. Your Value
2. Your Direction
3. Your Purpose

Step 3: Map Out Your Essays with the STAIIIR Method TM
Did you know there is a proven formula for college application essays that is guaranteed to make your essay show you have direction, and momentum? There is and it's called the STAIIIR MethodTM. After reviewing thousands of applications, I saw how master communicators used this basic format... and their essays popped! When we map out your essays we will look at each of them from a 30,000 ft view and make sure they include the strongest points about your story. Then we move on to...
Step 4: Writing and Draft Revisions
With all our prep work done, you are ready to write! In the academy there are three draft revision stages and each stage includes two weeks where you will write the drafts of all your essays. Then, you'll submit them to me and I'll do a hybrid essay review and provide helpful suggestions, insights, and personalized feedback. Once you have a clear vision of what to do for improvement, you move on to the next stage of writing.
Step 5: Final Review And Submit!
You've done it! All your hard work has paid off! After all the draft revision stages, we will do a final essay review and you'll get the "all clear" to submit. But this isn't just a normal essay review, we will run through your entire application to make sure the messaging is on point and telling YOUR story.
And just like that, you can start Senior year confident you have written the best essay of your life!
