Writing coaching and draft feedback for high school and college students.
Services & PricingMost students know more than they manage to put on the page. After reading thousands of essays over thirty-five years, I've learned that the problem usually isn't intelligence — it's the gap between what a student means and what the reader actually receives.
My job isn't to close that gap for them. It's to show them where it is, why it exists, and how to fix it themselves. That's a different skill than teaching English. It's closer to diagnosis than instruction.
Every service starts from the same place: your writing, your ideas, your story. The goal is always clarity — not a rewrite.
Share a draft through Google Docs and receive detailed written feedback focused on structure, clarity, and argument. Line-level notes plus a summary of priorities for revision. Returned within 48 hours.
Written feedback delivered first, then a one-hour Zoom session to work through it together and plan revisions. Works especially well for longer essays, research papers, or students who think better in conversation.
Students who start in October write under pressure. Students who start in June write with confidence.
Focused help on the Common App personal statement, start to finish.
Complete personal statement support plus strategy for school-specific supplementals.
End-to-end support through the full application writing window.

David N. · College Essay Client
I've spent more than 35 years teaching writing at the high school and university level, and during that time I've read thousands of student essays.
Whether a student is working on a class essay or preparing a college application, the aim is the same — clearer thinking and stronger writing. Sessions are calm, focused, and practical, designed to help students understand how to improve their writing, not just fix a single assignment.
The result is not just a finished essay, but a more capable writer.
Working together is straightforward.
Share the essay prompt, draft, or writing goal. There's no wrong place to start.
We meet for a focused Zoom session, I provide written feedback, or both — working through structure, clarity, and argument together.
Students leave with specific revision strategies and a clearer understanding of how to strengthen their writing.
Call, text, or send a short message and I'll follow up to schedule a session. I usually respond within 24 hours.
