How to Get Started With Essay Coaching
If you’ve never worked with Essay Coaching before, please read “What to Expect” and “Packages and Rates.”
We offer new clients a free 15 minute consultation to answer your questions prior to an appointment, so please send us a note to set that up. During that 15 minute phone consultation, you can also schedule a 50 minute professional appointment for the usual fee.
If you’ve had previous appointments with Essay Coaching for any family member, here’s how to make an appointment now, in four easy steps:
- Tell us who you are and your preliminary plan. (Jumpstart form)
- Learn about payment.
- Find a time you like and make an appointment online.
- Send additional information. (optional)
The first thing you’ll want to do is make an appointment and download fill out your Jumpstart form.
Jumpstart Form to Get Us Organized (Takes about 5-10 minutes)
This form makes us into a powerful team. You type a bit and think a little bit more. Share your contact info, high school GPA, colleges you are considering, and their essay prompts. Now you are on track for our first session! We have a form for undergraduates and graduate students.
