Overwhelmed by college applications? I’m Christine, & I created College App Help Desk & ESSAY CURE to help

As an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC), I help students identify colleges and universities that will foster their unique academic, emotional, and social growth. Using that list of schools, I guide students as they create application essays that showcase their talents and interests. Our goal is to turn admissions officers into advocates.

We’ve helped high school students just like you disconnect from the noise and get this college application monkey off your back.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will you write my essay for me?

No.

What does a webinar/coaching session look like?

Webinars are where we provide summer instruction to students to bring them up to speed on the college application process and then keep them on track progessing through their applications and essays.

After each webinar, individual coaching sessions (for students who have purchased this option) allow students to ask questions and get extra guidance and help on the process. Our students typically have the bulk of their college applications completed by Labor Day.

Do you offer a Do-It-Yourself option?

Yes! College App Help Desk has a yearly membership fee that is truly a DIY option. The VIP option gives students a bit more support from us. Our full-service options with essay plans are via ESSAY CURE, and parents and students must schedule a Parent/Student Discovery Call before purchasing this option.

How do I get started?

Text us using the widget in the bottom right-hand corner of the page and we’ll follow up with a link for you to schedule a 15-minute Parent/Student Discovery Call.

Does my student need to attend the call?

Yes. We can’t do our jobs until or unless our students do theirs. It’s important for students to have buy-in and want our help because we can’t do the work for them. It’s also important that we feel we are a good fit to help your student, and we won’t know that until we meet with your student to learn more.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. We split the cost into monthly payments from booking to November 1, so the earlier you sign up, the more flexible the payment options. We do not charge interest or late fees until after November 1.

“feel confident about writing”

Christine helped a ton with my college essay. Going in, I had a vague understanding of how a well-crafted college app essay should be written and Christine was there to guide me. She really wanted me to feel confident about writing and her advice always seemed to be focused on quality writing. In the end, I got into my top choice, U.S. Air Force Academy!

“I got into UVA!!! I am so thankful for all of the help you gave me in writing my Common App essay and preparing me to write my other supplements. Also, just all of the college help you gave me in general was so useful. I am very sure that my essay was one of the reasons I was able to get in. I am so relieved to have gotten through this process with the success I wanted and I am so thankful that you helped me through it. Thank you so much!”
