Frequently Asked Questions

The application essay is often one of the most important components of a private high school application. While grades and test scores show academic ability, your essay gives admissions officers insight into who you are as a person—your values, writing ability, and how you think. A strong essay can set you apart from other qualified applicants and significantly strengthen your overall candidacy.

Many students struggle with finding their authentic voice while trying to impress admissions officers, leading to overly formal or generic essays. Others have difficulty selecting a meaningful topic, organizing their thoughts clearly, or developing a strong thesis that connects their personal story to why they're interested in a particular school. Getting stuck on the first draft and not knowing how to revise effectively are also common obstacles.

Tutors provide individualized feedback on your essay's structure, argument development, and voice—helping you identify what's working and what needs revision. They can guide you through brainstorming stronger topics, organizing your ideas logically, and crafting a compelling narrative that showcases your personality. Rather than just correcting grammar, tutors help you develop your writing skills so you can write with greater clarity and confidence.

A strong essay typically opens with a compelling hook that grabs attention, develops a clear central idea or thesis, and supports it with specific examples or stories from your own experience. It should have a logical flow from introduction through body paragraphs to conclusion, maintain your authentic voice throughout, and end with a reflection that ties everything together. Most private schools want essays that show self-awareness, genuine interest in their institution, and strong writing mechanics.

Most writing experts recommend at least 2-3 substantial revisions before submission. Your first draft is about getting ideas on paper; subsequent drafts focus on organization, clarity, and strengthening your argument. With personalized tutoring, you can get expert feedback after each draft, which helps you revise more effectively and catch issues you might miss on your own.

The best topics are ones that are meaningful to you and reveal something genuine about who you are. Look for moments of growth, challenges you've overcome, passions that drive you, or experiences that have shaped your values. Avoid topics that feel like you're trying to impress admissions officers; instead, focus on stories only you can tell. A tutor can help you brainstorm ideas, evaluate which ones are strongest, and develop them into compelling narratives.

Authenticity comes from writing about what genuinely matters to you and using language that feels natural to you, not overly formal or pretentious. While application essays require standard grammar and structure, they should still sound like you—your personality and perspective should come through. Tutors can help you find the balance between meeting academic writing standards and keeping your voice genuine, so your essay sounds like a real person, not a thesaurus.

Different private schools in the Omaha area may have different essay prompts and expectations, so it's important to research each school's application materials carefully. Some schools ask about your academic interests, others focus on personal values or community involvement, and many want to know why you're specifically interested in their institution. A tutor familiar with local private school applications can help you understand what different schools are looking for and tailor your essays accordingly.
