Summer Dawn Hammond
Wilmington, NC

Certified Teacher ELA 8-12, ESL, MFA in Creative Writing, Reading Tutor K-12, College Writing Coach

I have an MFA in Creative Writing and have completed half of an MA in English from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. That makes me a master and a half at writing! I've published stories and essays widely in top-ranked literary journals such as Texas Review, Sonora Review, and StoryQuarterly. My writing has been recognized as a finalist for the Missouri Review 2022 Jeffrey E. Smith Editors' Prize and 2022 Katherine Anne Porter Prize. I've worked with students to hone writing skills at all grade levels. I tutor elementary, middle, and high school students with a focus on mastering sentence/paragraph structure. I review college essays through Upswing, offer feedback, and work with students one-on-one to elevate their skills. I help students achieve big goals, such as admittance into top universities and other programs, with personal statements and essays that rise above. My writing students have gained admittance to elite high schools and universities, as well as medical and dental schools. I offer students specific and personalized feedback at every step of the writing process. I have been recognized as a top writing consultant at my university (UNCW) and selected by schools as a highly effective multi-grade level writing tutor due to my ability to give customized, meaningful feedback that strengthens both the writer and their writing.

Maggie Thompson
Mount Pleasant, SC

Essay writing expert

Are you a C student worried you won't get into your favorite college? Or an A+ student who is struggling to stand out among over-achievers? I can help you both! I was an English Major in college, and have extensive experience writing for large corporations, non-profit organizations and most recently, for high school students! My youngest children are twins who are currently college sophomores at two different universities. They applied to a combined total of 20 colleges/universities and both were accepted to their top choice. I was their college essay writing tutor and helped them complete essays for applications, auditions and scholarships. Both received merit awards exceeding $10,000 annually, so obviously their essays were well-written! I also assisted dozens of their friends with their college application essays as well. My twins are very different - my daughter graduated third in her class, held numerous leadership roles in clubs/organizations, was an NHS member, musical and theatrical performer and an exceptional student. My son was a B / C student, was an exceptional athlete and a great kid, who had to work much harder to achieve good grades. He is currently majoring in Mechanical Engineering and received two different merit awards, totaling $20,000 at the private university he attends. I believe strongly that "C" students have just as much to offer as "A" students, but your college application essay must convey who you are effectively, so that reviewers recognize your effort and contributions, and not just your GPA. High-achieving students such as my daughter face a different struggle - differentiating themselves from the 'pack of over-achievers' - and conveying what makes them unique and special. I have expertise in guiding both types of students, and believe the hardest part is getting started - making that list of activities, experiences and characteristics that we'll use to draft an amazing essay. So let's get started! I look forward to helping you!
