Application Assistance & Essay Coaching
A key element in the admissions process for private school and college is a student's essays. These essays allow students to add their own personal touch to the application and enable admissions officers to see a part of their personality beyond grades and scores. Here the student can share an aspect of themselves that indicates to admissions what type of person they are at their core. For example, it is not necessarily the experience you write about that has value; it’s your reflection on the experience that provides insight into you. At Electra Reed and Associates, we specialize in helping students find their “voice,” allowing them to showcase their individuality to make their application stand out.
Our coaching comes from the perspective of admissions officers.

Our tutors deliver individualized instructions to teach strategies and skills necessary for your student’s test-taking success. Offering one-on-one assistance our specialists will help you determine which exam (ACT or SAT) is right for your student, when they should take the exam and what type of tutoring is most appropriate to meet their goals.
