UKE 10-Hour Essay Coaching Package
Expert guidance to help students craft standout essays for college, scholarship, or summer program applications.
This 10-hour package is designed to support high school students through the entire essay-writing process. Whether applying to colleges, competitive summer programs, or targeted scholarships, students receive personalized 1:1 coaching to help craft compelling, authentic, and well-structured essays.
The program is flexible. Your child can choose how to allocate the 10 hours based on their unique goals and timelines. Some may wish to focus entirely on a Common App essay, while others may divide the time between multiple supplements or scholarship applications. Note that each edit may take from 30 to 120 minutes. These 10 hours include both live coaching sessions with the student and offline time spent by the tutor editing and preparing written feedback. To ensure quality feedback and avoid last-minute stress, families/students are asked to submit drafts with reasonable lead time before any application deadline to allow adequate time for thoughtful review and revision.
What We Can Cover:
– Brainstorming and Essay Strategy
We begin with a discovery session to uncover meaningful experiences, themes, and angles that will set the student apart. We help define the core message behind each essay and determine how best to convey it.
– Outline and Structure
We guide students in creating a clear, logical structure for their essay that flows well and highlights their unique strengths and values.
– Drafting and Revisions
Students will receive detailed feedback on multiple drafts. We focus on improving clarity, tone, flow, and impact—ensuring the final product resonates with admissions readers.
– Final Edits and Polish
Once the main ideas are in place, we fine-tune the essay with line edits, grammar corrections, and guidance on how to stay within word count limits while maximizing impact.
– Scholarship or Program-Specific Essays
We can allocate time to support applications for competitive scholarships or enrichment programs, including essay strategy, revision, and tailoring content to specific prompts.

Disclaimer:
While UKE and its tutors provide expert guidance and personalized essay coaching, we do not and cannot guarantee admission into any specific college, program, or scholarship. Admissions decisions depend on a range of factors outside the scope of this package, including academic records, test scores, recommendations, institutional priorities, and more. This package is designed to support the student’s writing process and help them submit the strongest essays possible—but final outcomes are ultimately beyond UKE’s or the tutor’s control.
