Frequently Asked Questions
Essays are often one of the most important components of a private school application—sometimes weighted as heavily as standardized test scores or grades. Admissions committees use essays to understand your voice, values, and ability to think critically. A strong essay can set you apart from other applicants with similar academic records, making it worth significant time and effort to craft a compelling response.
Many students struggle with finding their authentic voice while trying to impress admissions officers, leading to overly formal or generic writing. Others have difficulty brainstorming meaningful topics, organizing their thoughts clearly, or revising effectively without feedback. Time management is another challenge—balancing essay writing with school commitments while meeting application deadlines can feel overwhelming.
Tutors provide personalized feedback on your drafts, helping you strengthen your thesis, improve organization, and develop your unique voice. They can guide you through the brainstorming process to find compelling stories that showcase who you really are, and work with you on revision strategies that go beyond basic proofreading. With one-on-one instruction, you get targeted support on the specific areas where your writing needs the most growth.
A strong essay typically opens with a compelling hook that draws readers in, develops a clear central idea or thesis, and supports it with specific examples or stories from your life. The essay should have a logical structure that guides the reader through your thinking, maintain consistent voice and tone throughout, and end with a conclusion that reinforces your main point without simply restating it. Most private schools provide prompts that guide what to focus on—understanding and directly addressing the prompt is essential.
In an initial session, a tutor will typically discuss the specific prompts you're responding to, learn about your background and experiences, and help you brainstorm potential topics. They'll assess your current writing level and understand your goals for the application process. This foundation allows the tutor to create a personalized plan for your essay development, whether you need help with brainstorming, drafting, or revision.
Most students benefit from starting essay work 2-3 months before application deadlines to allow time for multiple drafts and revisions. Depending on how many schools you're applying to and your starting point, plan for 10-15 hours of focused work per essay. Working with a tutor can make this process more efficient by providing targeted guidance rather than spending time on revisions that don't move you closer to your goal.
Your authentic voice comes through when you write about topics that genuinely matter to you and use language that feels natural to how you actually think and speak. Avoid trying to sound overly sophisticated or what you think admissions officers want to hear—authenticity is far more compelling. A tutor can help you identify your natural voice through conversation and feedback, showing you where your writing feels forced versus where it feels genuine and true to who you are.
Effective revision involves reading your essay aloud to catch awkward phrasing, checking that each paragraph directly supports your main idea, and ensuring your examples are specific and vivid rather than generic. It's helpful to take a break between drafting and revising so you can read with fresh eyes. Working with a tutor gives you an outside perspective on what's working and what needs strengthening, plus personalized strategies for revision based on your specific writing patterns and challenges.
