College Essay Brainstorming, Drafting, Editing, and Finalizing

From 25.03 € /h

The personal essay is often a stressful and difficult part of a college application. Unlike other stats like grades and test scores, a college essay must show personality, making it difficult to know where to start for many students. In this workshop style class I will be working with students to develop a complex personal narrative in their essays.
