My Approach

Holistic Support

I offer holistic support throughout the college application process: this can include personal statements, supplemental essays, resume/extracurricular lists, interview prep, and deadline management.

Personalized Guidance

Each student's journey is unique, so I tailor my approach to fit individual needs. Drawing on 10 years of teaching experience, I leverage my expert insight to guide students through each step of the admissions process, helping them craft a narrative that is true to them and stands out to colleges.

Constructive Feedback

I prioritize authentic, personalized feedback that fits each student’s preferred learning style. I provide detailed, actionable comments on each essay draft: I specialize in personal statements, focusing on both content and form to ensure student writing is polished, clear, and impactful.

Testimonials

  • During the process of writing my personal statement for college applications, I always asked for her thoughts. What should I add? What should I remove? She was always willing to sit down with me and take her time to make sure all my doubts were answered and my personal statement was perfect. Ms. Abbett was there for me every step of the way since my freshman year of high school and has applauded my growth academically and personally. She is the perfect person to guide students during the college process and beyond
