Planning Your Investment

I can coach most students through all phases of the “main essay” (generally the Common Application Personal Statement) in 3.5 to 4 sessions.  However, most colleges require additional “supplemental” essays, which typically take 1-3 sessions (per school) to address properly.  Students applying to multiple colleges may require additional sessions.  To meet these needs, I offer a number of options.

Your Admission Essay Rate: $250 per hour-long session.

Payment

• Payment is expected at or before the time of coaching.
• I accept Zelle (preferred), Venmo, and Paypal. (see Venmo QR Code below).
• Venmo ID: @Donna-Kirschner-2
• PayPal email: donnakirschnerphd@gmail.com
• Advance payment is expected for distance-coaching session, via Zoom,  iChat, Skype, FaceBook Messenger, or phone.

Lateness/Cancellation Policy

I value your time and hope that you value mine.  When possible, I tend to be generous with my time.  I expect timeliness from my students.  Our session starts at the scheduled appointment time.  Please provide 24 hours notice for cancellations/reschedules.

Referral Bonus

My coaching work grows through satisfied families.  When you refer me to your friends and colleagues during the time that I am working with your child, I will thank your family with a bonus session. I also offer the first session on a complimentary basis I when I work with siblings of former clients. I offer gift cards to students who send their friends and classmates my way.  You have my undying gratitude for your referrals after I have worked with child!

I look forward to guiding your student as s/he crafts compelling  and effective essays.
