meet Brenda Kahn, YOUR ESSAY COACH
Over the last 15 years, I have helped dozens of high school students write their way into college with compelling, revealing essays. I bring to my coaching practice years of storytelling experience as a professional journalist and corporate communicator, and a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s acclaimed Medill School of Journalism. I honed my essay coaching skills as one of a crack team of professional writers who coach high school seniors at Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California, on the art of the personal statement for the University of California and the Common App.
THE PROCESS
We can meet in person at my Berkeley (Calif.) office, at another nearby location convenient to you, or virtually — on the phone, or via Skype or Facetime. At the first one-hour meeting, we will review your profile/bio, discuss target schools and majors, and brainstorm on essay topics — or review your first drafts if you already have done some writing. After that, the program is individualized to fit your needs and pace. I charge by the hour, and we can go as fast or as slow as you need.
