One-on-One College Admissions and Essay Coaching

One-on-One College Admissions and Essay Coaching

Our one-on-one college essay coaching is different from what you can find anywhere else. 

If you work one-on-one with us, we’ll delve deep into your life experiences and uncover what makes you unique. You’ll write

1. a Common App essay that reflects who you really are,

2. Supplemental essays that emphasize why you’re a good fit for particular schools,

3. UC essays that get straight to the point.

Here are a few other details that make our one-on-one college essay help different from other companies:

• Our qualifications: your tutor will be a published author with a PhD from a top school.

• Work only with us: no passing off of work to junior employees.

• All work is live: no mysterious edits will appear on your documents when you’re not present.

• Total honesty: if your essay isn’t working, your college admissions coach will tell you directly.

• No expensive packages: pay only for what you need.

Our Approach to Pricing and Support

We designed Real College Essays around a simple idea: students deserve honest, human support without gimmicks or upsells. Every session is live, collaborative, and centered on helping students develop an authentic voice—not pushing them through a template or editing their work behind the scenes.

Our tutors set straightforward hourly rates based on their experience as published authors and PhDs. We don’t bundle students into expensive packages or lock them into more hours than they need. You pay only for meaningful work done together, in real time, with a tutor who knows how to guide the writing process thoughtfully and ethically.

This transparent model helps families understand exactly what they’re receiving: individualized attention, clear guidance, and writing support rooted in expertise rather than sales tactics.
