College Essay Guy レビュー 

This is a review of Ethan's Counselor Essay Course.

I have used Ethan's free resources over the past 5 years as a high school counselor. These resources are amazing!!! When I transitioned to being an independent counselor, I decided to spring for the course for a fee as I had been impressed with his free materials and sought out more of his expertise; however, I didn't find there to be much in the way of additional strategies that I didn't already know from the free material. There were many more examples, and while I found these to be helpful, the strategies and frameworks are much more helpful.

I know Ethan is about giving a lot away for free to make things equitable (and I support this), but if he's going to have some resources/classes for a fee, I expect to get more than examples of the strategies I was already employing with students.

My daughter was accepted for what we could pay. We are from a low socio-economic area and have moved several times during her school years. The advice and information she received was priceless. She won the Presidential Scholarship at her chosen college and will be going tuition free. Something that made her not as open to participate in the on-line sessions was that there were others writing about how they started their own companies, traveled the world, etc. and she felt what she had to offer/write about was not good enough or as good. That started a conversation. Thank you for this program, for your willingness to help our children and for offering the type of advice I would offer myself (it is received much better from you). There are a multitude of benefits other than just how to write an essay.

College Essay Guy is my guru. I have had a successful practice as a college essay advisor for 7 years, modeled largely off his approach. His online courses, videos, books and handouts are incredibly easy to follow. Most importantly, he helps us learn to facilitate students' self-reflection so that they craft interesting essays in their own voices to enhance their applications.

There is so much valuable information in the CEG courses. Ethan really breaks things down to the essence of what works and why. His tools and explanations are clear, concise and effective. I am taking the courses for a second time and continuing to have new insights and "aha!" moments that are enhancing my college counseling practice.

The course and the book are very realistic and of great help. Some techniques are better than the others, my daughter came up with her own essays and ideas though.
I enjoyed the videos and suggestions, thanks for your help.
I am impressed with your generosity to help those in need!!

I learned a lot about how to write my college essays in this course, and there was a video to watch for everything.

Helpful course, if you’re getting started with you essays! It definitely helped me brainstorm and get started with mine.

I’m currently in my second semester of senior year and personally wasn’t able to afford a private college admission counselor, but Ethan’s videos definitely equated in quality!! Though he’s not there with you in person and dissecting your essays line by line, it’s almost as if he is. His videos make you seem as though you’re right next to him and the way he has curated his programs is absolutely seamless! From the worksheets to the step by step breakdown, he really pushed me through my every mental block. Even more, there is a Facebook group with other students following his videos in which you can find essay writing partners to look over each other’s essays and just keep each other on track and I loved that!! Ethan and his team really just truly care about you and you can tell from every email, every video, and every guide. They are there for you from start to finish, his team is so quick to respond to emails, and he really just made this whole process a lot less stressful for me. I would recommend him to anybody and everybody and don’t have one bad thing to say. He is simply and truly AMAZING.

I really enjoy all of College Essay Guy's resources! They are so many great tools to use with my students and I find myself referring back to them often! I am already registered for Part 2 of CEG's next course and I am excited to keep learning so I can better help and guide my students during college application process!
All I can say is THANK YOU!!!

We are very impressed with the material. The material and the guidance truly helped my son in coming up with very good essays for this college application. Much appreciated for all the guidance, support and the material. You guys have reduced our stress and anxiety drastically.

This course is amazing but very lengthy with a bunch of unnecessary information. Id prefer if you just went straight to the point and explained some parts of the essay on a dumber level. Other than that everything was perfect and this course will boost your acceptance chances through the roof!

Despite the lack of resources offered at my school in Oman, CollegeEssayGuy allowed me to write some essays that I can be proud of. I'm certain that my uni prospects were greatly improved thanks to the College App course and the Personal Statement course. I've highly recommended it to all the grade 11s applying to the US in my school.

I have read similar books and taken courses from other experts. But Ethan's book and courses are different. He explains clearly and does not provide irrelevant information like other authors that I read before. Ethan's materials helped me build my curriculum. Now my students benefit more from my classes.

Great! Provided really good guidance which helped me have an idea of how to approach college-essay writing.

Hi Ethan,

I work in an urban high school AVID program. We have used many of your resources in class such as the Wants and Needs exercise (we played your video too!). We also use the Values Exercise. Thank you for making these amazing resources available to the public.

I have taught the most engaging essay-writing lessons ever! The book and electronic resources are comprehensive and easy to use.

I always find something useful from Ethan's resources and continue to add his tips to my toolbox. It is so helpful to have frameworks to use to work with students that I can then tweak as needed. Thank you so much!

The course is really good and provides specific details regarding reviewing essays. I love the practical skills that I am learning!

Incredibly transformed my application to present me in my best light!!! I’d recommend 100%!!!
