I’m a former high school English teacher who now guides students through college essays and applications. I’m passionate about easing the burden on families, and one of my favorite parts of this work is seeing the relief parents feel when they realize they don’t have to figure it all out alone.
I regularly pursue professional development, including training through College Essay Guy and NACAC’s Core Concepts for Independent Educational Consultants, so I can offer thoughtful, current guidance.
What families are saying
“I felt super prepared come August first because of all the material that was given to me, along with the time I spent with Ms. Anderson looking over my essay and application.”
“This tutoring process was extremely beneficial to me for my college essays! We were able to work through ideas together, which helped me write essays that felt both strong and personal. The document layout we used was also very helpful, keeping me organized throughout the entire process.”
“Having an outside, expert opinion was tremendously helpful. The dynamic of parent and student just wasn’t working, and Brittney’s guidance made all the difference. My only regret is that we didn’t find her sooner.”
“Brittney’s intentionality in advising our daughter on her college essays was unmatched! From day one, she felt like a partner with us, asking the right questions, formulating a plan, and being thoughtful and transparent. Our daughter felt supported and confident in what she had chosen to write and share.”
