Hi ! I’m Erin. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a master’s degree in Teaching of English from Teachers College, Columbia University. I am a certified classroom English educator with thirteen years of experience teaching and tutoring students ranging from 7-12th grade. For the past few years, I have specialized in coaching students to write unforgettable college admissions essays to get into elite colleges. Before focusing on education, I honed my writing skills in the business world, working as an editor in Massachusetts and at MTV Networks in Times Square. I currently serve as an Alumni Admissions Ambassador at Columbia University, recruiting the next generation of scholars, so I know what top schools are looking for!

The personal statement may be the most important 650 words you write in your entire life and my goal is to make the process as smooth, efficient, and stress-free as possible. My approach to coaching college essays involves 1) identifying your BEST topic, using a series of brainstorming exercises 2) chunking the writing process into a manageable tasks and timelines 3) offering ongoing support via messages throughout the process 4) providing specific, timely, and actionable feedback that will result in an exceptional finished product.

I believe that words are our most powerful tool to find ourselves, transform our lives, and realize our dreams. I am passionate about helping students find their unique, authentic voice through coaching that emphasizes relationship building, shared vulnerability, and empathetic listening. My life’s mission is to empower students to live their wildest dreams through self-expression.

Extremely helpful

I am so grateful for the assistance and support that Erin provided during the very stressful college application process. Erin is a truly exceptional individual who went above and beyond to help me every step of the way. She provided me with a clear roadmap of what needed to be done and ensured that I stayed on track throughout the process. Erin is also a fantastic listener and was able to help me articulate my thoughts and ideas in a way that resonated with what I wanted to convey to admissions officers. I cannot recommend Erin highly enough. Thank you, Erin!

College essay

Awesome and knowledgeable tutor

Erin is a highly skilled and caring tutor. She effectively guides her students to find their voice and write constructively. For example, my daughter knew the problem with her original essay but struggled with direction on "how" to fix it. Erin masterfully laid out the path for my daughter to complete her personal statement. We are very thankful that we found her - she is by far one of the best tutors we worked with.

Erin is amazing for college essay coaching!!

Erin helped me enormously while writing a statement of purpose for a graduate program. She had a lot of useful feedback and suggestions on my drafts. The meetings were well-organized and allowed for plenty of time to ask questions and discuss options. In the end, she helped me develop an authentic and compelling story that I feel excited to submit. I can't thank her enough!

Good tips for personal statement

Very helpful brainstorming for personal statement values and outline. She was very knowledgeable about the format and unique aspects that I can add to my essay.

Extremely knowledgeable and patient! Loved working with Erin!

Erin was super responsive and guided me through the daunting challenge of writing a personal statement. She gave great prompts to get my wheels turning and once we got into a groove, I was able to open up and think of a variety of things to include. Once we had few ideas, she helped pull out themes and organize my thoughts on paper well. I'm excited and happy with my first draft and will book Erin for the second and final drafts!
