College Application Coaching

As a college application coach, my goal is to guide students and families through the full admissions process with clarity, strategy, and confidence. Here’s what’s included:

Personalized Guidance

Interview prep for alumni or admissions interviews in order to feel calm and confident while answering questions. Mindset and emotional support to manage stress, imposter syndrome, and decision fatigue. Help making a final decision.

Writing Support

Together, the student and I will:
  • Build a strong, standout activities list that highlights their achievements and leadership
  • Create a professional, customized resume for applications, scholarships, and interviews
  • Brainstorm, draft, and revise a stand-out Common App personal statement
  • Provide full support for supplemental essays, including strategy, drafting, and feedback
  • Work on additional pieces like honors college applications, scholarship essays, and letters of continued interest, as needed

Application Support

From start to submit, I’ll walk the student through every component of the application process, including their high school’s submission system, the Common App, and individual college portals. I ensure all applications are accurate, complete, and submitted on time.

Initial Preparation

Interview prep for alumni or admissions interviews in order to feel calm and confident while answering questions. Mindset and emotional support to manage stress, imposter syndrome, and decision fatigue. Help making a final decision.

"Lisa helped me with all my college applications. If I had done it by myself it would have been a train wreck and taken me months to do. We met twice a week during the summer and over the course of two months we finished my essay, applied to the college and we knew where I was going. Definitely book this with her."

 Her enthusiasm is unbelievable, completely genuine, and she’s been able to rally [my son] to get everything done willingly, which is something we couldn’t have done without a lot of stress and a lot of arguments! Lisa is incredibly thorough and diligent. If she’s ever unsure about something, she does her research and gets it right every time. She’s brought forward college suggestions that are an amazing fit for [my son], matching his strengths and where he’s likely to succeed. His essays, activities list, resume, and everything else they worked on turned out awesome. Working with her from August through November was a big deal, and she was there for him every step of the process. I truly can’t recommend her enough!"

"Lisa has been an absolute lifesaver! We were initially hesitant about the cost, but after working with her, we’ve realized she’s worth every penny."

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between essay coaching and application coaching?

Essay coaching focuses solely on the writing. Application coaching covers the entire process from A to Z, so it’s best for families who want a high-touch, full-service experience with expert guidance every step of the way.

What’s the college application coaching timeline?

From building a strategic college list all the way through when you hear back from colleges. You’ll have ongoing support through the entire process, which translates into a few meetings a week for roughly 4-5 months.


Do you help with Common App and other platforms?

Yes! I help students navigate Naviance, the Common App, the UC App, the Coalition App, and individual college portals.

How early should we start college coaching?

Starting junior year or junior summer is ideal, but I also support seniors with condensed timelines. I tailor everything to your process.

Can parents be involved?

Definitely. I keep parents informed after every session and am open and available to conversations beyond that as well. I want this to be collaborative, supportive, and low-stress for everyone.

What’s your experience?

I'm a veteran high school English teacher and essay expert with 6 years of experience essay and application coaching students into their dream school. I stay up-to-date with admissions trends and provide both practical advice and energetic support.

Do you offer packages or hourly sessions?

I only offer 1 package for college application coaching, but feel free to reach out and we can have a conversation.
