How Christina works with students

Christina offers personalized, one-on-one college consulting tailored to each student's needs. Whether a student needs help with the full application process or just the essays, she adapts her approach accordingly.

College Essay Coaching

The heart of Christina's work. She guides students through every stage — brainstorming, drafting, revising, and polishing — until the essay sounds unmistakably like them. This includes the Common App personal statement and all supplemental essays.

Full Application Consulting

For students who want comprehensive support, Christina helps with college list building, application strategy, activity descriptions, and the full arc of the process from junior year through submission.

Writing Skills Development

Some students benefit from foundational work on writing before tackling the essays. Christina helps students develop clarity, structure, and confidence as writers.

International Student Support

Christina has extensive experience working with international students navigating the U.S. college application system. She understands the particular challenges they face and tailors her approach accordingly.

How it works

01

Initial conversation

Christina meets with the student and family to understand goals, timeline, and whether her approach is the right fit.

02

Getting to know the student

Before any writing begins, Christina spends time understanding who the student is — their experiences, values, and what makes them distinctive.

03

Drafting and revision

Working session by session, Christina guides the student through drafts, asking questions and offering feedback until the essay is genuinely strong.

04

Submission

Christina helps students stay on track with deadlines and ensures every piece of the application reflects their best work.
