College Essay Prep

Bio
I'm Yeva. I graduated from Stanford University and volunteer with the alumni association to interview Stanford applicants. Now I work with high school seniors applying to colleges and can help you develop and improve your college essays so that they address what university admissions officers are looking for and showcase the best of you. I focus on concepts, narrative, flow, depth, and structure; I do not review grammar or spelling.

• Yeva has a good sense of the kinds of things colleges want to see in an essay and how to coach a student into weaving these responses naturally into their chosen topic. -Parent
• Yeva’s assistance with my daughter’s application process was exactly what she needed. Yeva asked her questions to get her to dig deeper in certain areas. I really appreciated her use of open-ended questions designed to encourage the student to do the additional thought work to improve her essay. -Parent
• Thank you so much for your help with our high school senior! I am definitely letting people know you are available! -Parent
• As a parent I was too close to my student’s essay topic to provide unbiased guidance. And sometimes our kids just need to hear something from someone other than their parents for it to click. -Parent
