College Admissions and Scholarship Essay Coaching Bootcamp By McCormack

My one-of-a-kind essay coaching model is designed to help you:

• Write the best essay YOU can. Developed on the basis of many years of professional writing and teaching experience, my coaching program (think bootcamp without the harsh whistles) will not only make it possible for you to write your story but to also define, and then chase, your dreams.
• Discover YOUR passions. Writing exercises that incorporate self-reflection help you realize what truly matters to you – in academics, in careers and in life. This process can help you identify and get admitted to the colleges where you will thrive as a student and ultimately as a human.
• Find YOUR unique voice. Writing a correct sentence is one thing but crafting copy that truly reflects your attitude, humor, empathy, sarcasm, etc. is quite another. Remember, authenticity always wins (especially in this age of AI, where robotic writing is all too common and boring).
• Prepare YOURSELF for the writing demands of higher education. My services will help you garner the writing skills and rhetorical knowledge required to succeed in college level courses. Instead of struggling through English 101 (and with writing tasks in an array of other courses), you’ll be ready to kill it.
