College Essay Package
College Essay Package - $450
The Smith Center for Learning offers one on one tutoring with personalized instruction for the Common App Essay via remote meetings. After an initial brainstorming session with the student our expert tutors will be able to recommend a uniquely personal topic and from there, work with them to have a finished essay in time for early fall applications. Our tutors typically plan to meet with a student 5 times during the program following the curriculum below:
1. Brainstorming ideas, get to know the student and their interests
2. Review structure of the Essay, focusing on key components that will make their essay stand out
3. Narrow essay ideas to two and outline draft strategies. The student will then write a draft and submit it for review.
4.-5. The last two meetings will be to review the drafts, go over proofreading comments and edits, and finally to put the finishing touches on the chosen essay.
The cost of the program includes approximately 4 hours of instructional time as well as personalized proofreading, edits, and suggestions to complete a final Essay. The schedule is very flexible and can take place in a few weeks or over a couple of months. It is important to allow time between meetings for your student to work on their drafts and to reflect on feedback. Generally students and tutors spread the meetings out over a 6-week period. Our tutors can accommodate a schedule that is convenient for your student.
