1. What is a Higher Ed Consultant and why do I need one?
I play many roles: a teacher, cheerleader, adviser taskmaster, and partner. I take on your goals as my own objectives, devising and executing strategies to get you into your dream school, the generous scholarship, or the prestigious grant. You can write your way into anything.
Please note - AHW College Consulting is not an essay writing service. I do not write clients' essays, assignments, or application essays for them as that constitutes plagiarism.

2. What can Aim High Writing do for me?
Rather than using a pre-set curriculum or standardized tests, I tailor my approach to the client's goals, interests, and abilities. There are no workbooks or quizzes. You learn how to write by writing. Sounds simple, but in practice, many people find it challenging to communicate their ideas in a coherent and succinct manner.
As an Applications Coach, my job is to help you learn not only the basic formal essay guidelines, but also, how to develop an original writing voice that makes you stand out from your peers.

3. What experience do you have as an Education Consultant and Applications Coach?
As an instructor, I have worked with students age 6 to 21+. Most recently, I worked at a large public university as a PhD student and Teaching Assistant. I worked with 40-100 students per semester, depending on the course. For every group of students, there were only a handful of competent writers. I worked with the rest, and saw a number of students each semester improve their writing by simply following my guidelines.
In 2011 I worked in Russia as an English tutor for adults. In 2007 I tutored local high school students while attending the University of Notre Dame. From 2005-2006 I worked as an Educational Assistant at a Cincinnati Boys' and Girls' Club. Finally, in 2003 I was employed by a commercial learning center to teach young students reading, writing, and math.
My experience as a student also prepares me to serve as an Applications Coach. I wrote my way into full-funded graduate programs, three national scholarships, and a number of institutional grants during my time in academia. There is a strategic way to write your way to success.
I also serve as Academic Coordinator for the Calculus Roundtable, a California-based nonprofit.
I am a member of the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) and abide by the organization's Code of Ethics.

4. What are my session options and where are sessions held?
In the spirit of putting my client's schedule and convenience first, I am available 6am to 10pm to meet in person, over the phone, or via Skype. If we meet in person we will do so in a public place such as a library. Please note in person meetings are limited to a 25 mile radius around Tacoma, WA. I accept clients nationally for Skype sessions.
5. How do you predict a client's success in obtaining their goal?
Are you motivated? Are you doing the research I ask between sessions? Are you challenging yourself to write strong essays that reflect a real intention to get the school, award, or job you are applying for? My methods work; commit to working with me and you will become a confident, competent writer who is ready to meet and resolves college's challenges.
