Once a topic has been selected, we will work on highlighting personal voice, paragraph structure and essay construction, transitions, grammar, and the often challenging, but vitally important, conclusion. For most students, this process can take several sessions, usually about three, but sometimes as many as five.
Of course, some kids have their essay already written, and are just looking for an extra set of non-parental eyes to ensure that everything is spelled correctly, and all the commas are in the right place. I also do that.
Each session lasts about an hour, and there will usually be pre-writing or writing assigned in between sessions.
My fee is $85 per hour. Three sessions are offered at $250.
