College Essay Guy レビュー 

Collaborating with CEG's counselor and essay coach was incredibly valuable; they transformed what can often be a daunting and tense process into a seamlessly smooth experience.

Working with CEG's counselor took so much of the stress out of the process. Our counselor, Morgan, was always there to offer sound, experienced advice and really walked us through a pretty intense process of applying to several highly competitive schools. Morgan met with us regularly and patiently answered our many questions and gave the best advice. She always responded to our questions with numerous resources and suggestions. We are incredibly grateful for her partnership.

My daughter's essay coach was a wonderful coach, who really helped her refine her voice and make her essays stand out in a way that was unique to her. She pushed my daughter when she needed to be pushed, and for that, I am very grateful as it took some of the stress off of our relationship. Ultimately, her coach, Shira, really helped my daughter craft some fantastic essays that (I believe) led her to gain acceptance to a number of fantastic schools.

Overall, we are incredibly grateful and wholeheartedly recommend CEG. I'll conclude by saying that their approach, while at first seemed arduous, was absolutely worth the time and effort. Ethan and his team have created a program that's designed to deliver what I believe colleges genuinely want: an essay that is authentic and original; one that distills the essence of the student's experiences and perspectives into a compelling narrative, showcasing their unique voice and insights.

What was most helpful about having your student work with the essay coach?
The ability to turn over the entire process of essay preparation and application elements to an expert who was very experienced and able to provide hands on guidance with the knowledge she (Colleen) was a seasoned professional able to lead Olivia through every step of the journey- was incredibly valuable and reassuring!

If you could change something about your essay coaching experience with College Essay Guy, what would that be? Feel free to be specific and honest.
Honestly, given this was our first and only experience - we were thoroughly satisfied with all aspects of the program from start to finish. If there were a way to more formally (without additional excessive expense) incorporate elements of the scholarship application process into this hands on $5K experience- that would be most helpful. So, in addition to flagging materials that can be reused during those scholarship applications, possibly shaping multiple stock answers that can be plugged into myriad standard applications online- might be of great value.

Is there anything else about your experience working with CEG that you'd like to share with us?
Fantastic overall experience- Colleen Williams was amazing and we've already heard back acceptance offer from one of the three schools applied to through CEG, along with acceptance offer from another major school with a $120K over 4-yr scholarship offer as well using virtually same material developed with Colleen during the tutoring process!

Working with CEG was the best thing I could've done! Starting out as someone who had absolutely no idea what they wanted to write about or how to even write a college essay, CEG was able to provide me with the support to write an outstanding personal statement and supplementals, all of which I never could've written without such incredible support. This truly made such a significant impact on my college application process and I am so grateful for the CEG team for all of their help!

The best essay coach in the world!
Our CEG coach is incredibly professional and dedicated to assisting my daughter with her college essay. When my daughter found herself influenced by external opinions while writing her first draft Personal Statement, it was our CEG coach who provided her with a steadfast voice, encouraging her to stay true to her inner voice. When my daughter felt overwhelmed by the pressure of looming essay deadlines, our CEG coach stayed up late, working alongside her. When my daughter struggled to begin her essay, it was our CEG coach who led brainstorming sessions, helping her to discover herself and choose the right topics to write about. As international students, our CEG coach supported us with guidance on the application process, cultural aspects of college education, and English essay writing for American universities. Additionally, his expertise in coaching English essay writing and the clarity of our essay themes were impeccable, allowing us the flexibility to maintain the uniqueness of our cultural backgrounds.

I am immensely thankful to CEG for stepping in when my son found himself in a last-minute bind, realizing he needed external assistance. He felt completely stuck. When a friend suggested contacting CEG, which I did, Ethan responded promptly. He patiently listened to our concerns and efficiently guided us through the process. From that point on, things progressed swiftly. Jennifer worked diligently and patiently with my son. The highlight for me, as a mother, was the review process, where other advisers contributed their insights and recommendations. I couldn't have asked for more. My only regret is that I wish we had reached out to them earlier in the process to fully benefit from their expertise.

CEG was an incredibly useful service allowing me to confidently write, organize my ideas and truly dive more into my inner self (which is not easy during the stressful rush of the college application process). CEG was very hands on and allowed me to craft each narrative I told with near perfection and clarity. I was able to use CEG's resources to leverage my interests, ambitions and stories intro strong and compelling narratives which strong aided my application. I learned a tremendous amount about my self through my writing process with CEG and I highly recommend their services.

Working with CEG allowed me to really hone in on how I could make my specific personality and interests stand out. Going into the college application process, I knew that there were going to be a lot of students like me in the application pool, especially to the school I applied to. I felt sort of stereotypical, but working with CEG I was able to uniquely and effectively craft-- for the personal statement and supplemental essays-- a story about myself using my unique interests and personality. CEG is not only a group of college-essay specialists, but creative and thoughtful listeners. I would highly recommend CEG to anyone applying to college.

It made a HUGE difference to have an expert provide guidance, accountability, and support. Melissa was Maggie's essay coach and she was awesome! Very prepared and timely. It made the whole process a lot less stressful and less overwhelming.

CEG kept my son accountable with tasks to complete each week. The whole process was streamlined and professional. Helena helped with any questions and coach Natalie (so positive and encouraging) kept him on track and feeling able and accomplished.

Thanks so much for considering.

CEG was always available. I mean, always. And beyond being a fun guy to talk to, he really knows how to access the core of a person and show you how to put it on paper. I could not have asked for a better person to help me!

CEG was super helpful with my essays. The mentors were super friendly and they were really good at helping me to brainstorm.

Working with CEG was truly amazing! Their unique approach ensured that my essays reflected my authentic voice and passions. CEG's expertise and commitment to helping me craft beautiful essays shone through their insightful feedback and wise tips. CEG made the daunting task of college essay writing a seamless and rewarding experience. I highly recommend CEG to anyone seeking expert guidance in crafting compelling college essays.

CEG made the college essay writing process enjoyable and engaging. It was an opportunity to reflect on my values and my life and what I want admissions to know about me through my writing. I couldn’t recommend CEG more — not only will they lead you to formulate ideas for essays but they will also teach you things about yourself. Thank you so much, CEG!

Great experience working with CEG.

CEG is wonderful and sympathetic and will definitely help you with your essay topics. Strongly recommend!

We highly recommend College Essay Guy. Our son's counselor was able to get him to open up in a way he would not have with us, they helped keep him on a timeline and we were done before Thanksgiving and there were no parent-kid battles! The best part is that our son was accepted to his first choice school! The College Essay Guy team was fabulous.

Helping him think through and structure his essays as per the requirements. Helena was excellent in coordinating and responding whenever we had a query and Shira was exceptionally good with our son

The guidance and collaboration helped Kai feel confident in her achievements and in reaching her goals. Great experience! Wendy was a perfect fit, positive, patient, and encouraging.

My son had a wonderful experience with CEG. He was a paired with a wonderful tutor who not only helped him find his voice and write beautiful, personal essays, but also helped him stay organized in the process. He is a busy kids with lots of extracurriculars and a fall sport so this was hugely helpful for fall of senior year. As a STEM focused student applying to tech and engineering schools, the writing component of the applications was the most intimidating for him. My son felt that he actually became a better writer in the process due to the one on one support and encouragement of his tutor, Harrison. The acceptance letters just keep coming! I highly, highly recommend this program.

The insight into how college applications should read and the support in building cohesive essays and applications is invaluable and certainly something we would never have navigated well on our own. Would we have have had some success? Probably, but not the kind of application success that we had! My daughter was accepted to 5 of her 6 schools and is attending a top choice school-- cannot recommend enough.
