The College Essay Skill
AI Can't Replace
Your student's stats get them considered. Their story gets them in. This workshop is where they find it.
Sunday, April 26 · 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET · 90 minutes, live on Zoom ·
Grades 10–12
$97
Includes live access, replay, and your personal workbook.
If you move forward with mentorship, your $97 applies toward your program.
By the time your student's application reaches a reader's desk at a selective school, everyone in that pile has strong grades. Everyone has the test scores. Everyone has the activities.
The numbers prove they can do the work. The essay proves who they are.
A personal statement is not a highlight reel.
It is one human being opening up to another.
It is original thought that has never existed before, because it comes from inside a specific person who has never existed before. That is the only essay that makes a reader stop and think: I want this person on our campus.
And it is the one thing AI genuinely cannot manufacture. Not because the technology isn't sophisticated. Because AI is a composite of everything that already exists. Your student's essay should give a reader something the internet has never seen.
What you'll walk away with
This is not a lecture. Here's exactly what we'll do.
1. Workshop and develop essay topics in real time
We're not talking about topics in theory. Your student will actually work through the brainstorming process live, with guidance, and leave knowing their angle.

2. Structure and outline their essay together
We'll take their topic and build a real structure around it — the specific angle, the specific voice, the specific shape of the story only they can tell.
3. Leave with a personalized workbook and a summer plan
Every attendee receives a workbook that walks through the full process. When summer arrives, they're not staring at a blank page. They have a clear, detailed, personalized plan ready to execute.
What families I’ve worked with have to say:
Real results from students who were strong on paper but needed clarity in their essays.
“Erin helped me transform my ideas into a focused, compelling story. I was accepted to Carnegie Mellon, UT Austin, Boston University, and Northeastern — and I know my essays were a major reason why.”
— Allison X. Information Systems Admit,
Carnegie Mellon University
"Before working with Erin, everything felt scattered. Now we had a clear strategy — and the results followed. Four acceptances and no declines so far, including Texas A&M with National Merit scholarship consideration. The clarity she brought to Aadit’s essays made all the difference."
— Nirav S. Parent of Engineering Admit
“As someone who struggles to feel proud of my work, I can honestly say I felt incredibly proud of my personal statement. Erin helped me find my real voice and tell my story clearly. I submitted my applications with confidence — and that changed everything.”
— Ahana S. STEM Admit
