Services & Rates

Preliminary Application Consultation: A scheduled 'informal' 15-minute online text chat with student [and parent[s], if desired] for purposes of introduction, and initial discussion concerning students' higher education objectives. | $25

Academic Assessment: Thorough review of academic records, transcripts, extracurricular activities, etc.; email communications to discuss preferred disciplines and relevant competencies; skills analysis; and recommendations. | $30

Program Selection: Consultation via an exchange of email communications can help to expand and crystallize students' choices about preferred higher academic institutions. After clarifying students' objectives, personal considerations, and funding realities, a short-list of academic institutions can be compiled to allow for optimal 'wide spectrum' consideration, including private and public institutions, as well as local, state and international programs of possible interest.  | $50

Supplementary Material Preparation:

Statement of Purpose: Along with academic records and transcripts, the SoP is of considerable importance since it is generally the first sample of personal writing examined by university admissions officers. It needs to be perfect, and in some sense, impressive. Simply stated, each student's SoP needs to stand out from hundreds of others in the batch; in reality, the process of gaining admission into competitive programs often requires subtle precision. We can help to craft flawless statements that incorporate all necessary details in a format that will attract the interest of readers. | $45

Personal Essays: University admissions requirements often include written essays that provide substantial personal and academic details about candidates. Most of these essays are for informational purposes, i.e., the university will consider them along with primary application materials to determine suitability for their programs. These essays are 'wide-spectrum' and often involve personal history and non-academic interests, such as travel, overseas studies, and competitive participation. Please note: If the essay is specifically intended to gauge a student's writing ability, we obviously cannot assist. | $40

Letters of Recommendation: It is no surprise that writing letters of reference for potentially hundreds of students does not rank high on the list of high school teachers' preferred activities. At the graduate level, and increasingly at the undergraduate level, university admissions officers examine letters of reference written by others, and then presented to the teacher in question, who then applies his or her signature, thereby conceding a willingness to provide further details about student performance upon request. Certainly, high school teachers and college professors would prefer to affix their signature to reference letters that are relevant, well written, and without errors. We can draft suitable letters of recommendation for students whenever teachers or professors find this arrangement practicable.  | $35 

Resumes/CVs: Almost all graduate school programs will request a formal 'document' indicating applicants' professional and academic profile. Increasingly, undergraduate programs list resumes as optional materials. It is probably not the best idea to trust AI with this task, and we guarantee expert assistance with drafting and revising preexisting resumes for submission along with university applications. | $45 / revisions; $80 / resume writing

Research Grant Applications: Graduate school applicants are frequently in need of assistance with final editing, polishing, research, and proofreading services. Please contact us if we can possibly be of any assistance. | $4 - $8 / per page

Micro-feedback Writing Training: Unfortunately, the ability to write formal English, which is fundamental for higher academic and subsequent professional success, is generally not emphasized in the US educational system. Micro-feedback is a time-tested methodology that alerts students [repeatedly, when necessary] about habitual formal writing errors, while also providing a multitude of alternative usages to expand students' writing skills. Sessions are offered asynchronously and are self-paced for verifiable writing skills improvement. | $40 [for 4 lessons]

Advanced Math/STEM Tutoring: As a high school senior in Ohio, Prof. Ray Zepp received commendation as the top math student...in the entire state. He holds a PhD in Math Education from Ohio State Univ. We are extremely honored to be able to offer students online math/STEM tutoring with Professor Zepp at very reasonable rates. | $45/50-minute session

History/Social Studies/Ethnic Studies Online Tutoring: For students who are not afraid to learn the truth from primary sources, personal correspondence, and academic journals, as opposed to their history textbooks and state curriculum, online tutoring could be a good option. | $45 / 50-minute session [plus an independent research assignment
