Fees:
Typically, I meet with students for 30-minute appointments and spend 30 minutes reading and preparing comments for writers to take home with them.
You are always welcome to pay for each appointment separately at an hourly charge, and I am willing to work with writers at any stage in the process. Many families find it convenient to send a check for three hours to the first appointment. This fee covers the work typically required to produce an excellent college application essay: An initial overview of the process along with a brainstorming session, two appointments to discuss a first draft and an in-depth revision (along with my time preparing for these appointments), and polishing suggestions for the final draft, usually sent electronically. For more information, see Services and The Common Application Essay Package.
Additional appointments, if needed, will by charged by the hour. Inquire about extended coaching packages.
Payment is required at the first appointment.
Please make checks payable to Jessie C. Grearson.
Cancellation Policy:
Ordinarily, I am able to reschedule appointments with no charge if given a day’s notice; however, if a student fails to attend an appointment without notice, I will charge for the full appointment.
Given early decision deadlines, the time from October 15 to November 15 each year is extremely busy for me. During these four weeks, students must give me two full days’ notice to avoid being charged; this advance notice allows me to schedule another student in a valuable time slot.
