most well-accomplished sixteen and seventeen year olds have not built the self-awareness required for successful essays.

so you're top of your class and you've won dozens of awards. that's incredible!

but do you know why you're good at what you do? what about the way your mind works makes you an unparalleled coder?

could you describe the force at your back driving you to wake up every morning and succeed? many people are ambitious. but few can articulate why they are the way they are.

i help students understand themselves. I'll draw connections between who you are and what you've done, pulling out the threads within you that make you uniquely unique (everyone is unique, yes, but i would argue some of us are particularly so).

this process takes time and commitment. it's an investment in understanding who you are at a younger age than most. yes, this process will breed successful essays. it will also enable you to start college actually knowing how you want to use that time (tuition is too expensive and college too short to let it slip by without deliberate intentionality.)
