Emma WangStanford, CACollege Essay Tutor
My college essays (for both the Common App and QuestBridge) have gotten me into universities like Stanford, where I currently study English. In an email my admissions officer sent me, they noted that they were captivated by my love for writing shown in my essays.
I have informally helped family friends and past classmates edit and revise their college essays, who have subsequently gotten into colleges like BU, Stanford, Pomona, and more. In high school, I also acted as a writing tutor for the last two years, where, though I didn't edit college essays, I edited vast amounts of essays for school.
I also have extensive experience in creative writing. I've known that I wanted to be a writer since I was 13, and I've written and published more than a dozen short stories since then, some of which have also won awards. I think this experience in creative writing easily transfers to college essay writing. Structurally, I can offer feedback for making essays thematically cohesive and narratively interesting. On a line-by-line basis, I can help not only with grammatical issues, but also stylistic.
