"Know a High School Senior? College Essays are around the corner. Don't let them ruin the holidays! Spend two-hours with an expert.

With seventeen years of experience guiding writers into the top universities in the country, YouthInkwell Director Jennifer Sarja helps students hone in the topics that will bring college applications to life. Some students need help getting started; others, just need a final set of eyes to catch the last typo. We can't do the work for them, but we can certainly make it easier.

How it works: Student contacts YouthInkwell (jsarja@youthinkwell.com) to set up first appointment. Some students bring a draft ready for review; some prefer to use the time strategizing. Manhattan residents can request for initial meeting to be held in person in our mid-town office (Madison & 32nd); otherwise, sessions are conducted online between the hours of 3-10 pm, M-Th, or on weekends. Sessions are 60-minutes unless prior arrangements are made."
