"Working with Wayne was the best decision we made this year.  For college application essays, Wayne guided my son to shape his story to spotlight personality and accomplishments. My son has been admitted to 7 colleges to date, including 3 public Ivy’s!"

Writer's Coaching for Students

Academic Coaching includes

  • College entrance, scholarship, and internship applications for high school students, as well as adults returning for advanced degrees
  • Classroom writing issues
  • Magnet school applications and portfolios
  • Dissertation writing and editing for Ph.D. candidates

Academic coaching empowers the student writer, enhances skills and focuses the story for effective, engaging writing.   This includes guidance on content development, research, mechanics, grammar, punctuation, as well as project management with accountability.

Along with my professional and creative writing experience, I am a CRLA-certified tutor with over six years’ collegiate experience guiding undergraduates in writing class essays, application essays, research papers and speeches, as well as crafting PowerPoint presentations.
