The Essay writing workshops are back. Taught by Lech Harris, PhD, Lech is a creative writing instructor at University of Pittsburgh.

Common App Essay - Over the years dealing with COVID, college admissions changes and schools having test optional/blind policies, the admissions essay is more important that ever.  The admissions essay can provide much needed context to your application.  We are offering 2 different workshops to help the college bond students succeed.  One is a one-day workshop to just get started and the other is a more comprehensive start to finish class.

Starting the College Essay: 1 day primer - How do you start the process of writing your college app essay? How do you make sense of the various writing prompts provided by the Common App? How do you compose a compelling and effective personal essay that will help you get accepted to the college of your dreams? This one-day course offers a primer in what college admissions counselors are looking for, and how to write an essay that delivers. By the end of the day, students can expect to have learned everything they need to know to start brainstorming and composing their own essay with confidence. This course is taught by Lech Harris, Brandywine Learning Center’s college essay coach since 2019, and will be held remotely over Zoom.
