Brainstorming starts by connecting coach with student to determine the best topics and approaches for your student to create an authentic and dynamic personal essay. Once advised and equipped with direction, your student begins the writing process. 

All coaching feedback is given via conference and all conferences are booked at hour intervals at a rate of $100/hour, with a minimum of $50 per conference.  

Becky's editing work in advance of student conference is included in the rate.

A student can receive coaching on multiple essays concurrently, as needed, and can start a consult at any stage of the writing process.

Once your child has completed a first draft of the essay, Becky will review it for errors, organization, style, and opportunities for further personalization. All corrections and suggestions will be given and explained via conference. Your child will be encouraged and coached to use their voice in an effective, expressive, and evocative way. It is wholly your student's essay. The essay is not finished until it is both reflective of your student and excellent in form and substance. The length of this process will depend on each individual student. 

Becky is available for in-person coaching at a local library. If in-home coaching is desired, it is evaluated on a case-by-case basis and requires a parent or equivalent to be present. Live virtual coaching is also available via Zoom conferencing for any student, local or afar. Cameras must be turned on for virtual coaching and a quiet background environment is required for both in-person and virtual coaching. All appointments are arranged at mutually convenient times. As of summer 2022, a one-time in-person coaching fee will be incurred to adjust for the travel and time associated with in-person coaching.
