Hi, I’m Steve.
I’m a dad of 3 college-age children; I live in Danville, CA; and I’m a writing coach for students at all levels, typically those applying to undergraduate and graduate programs.
I have years of experience in writing, coaching, mentoring, and educating kids, teens, young adults, and adults. For the past 8 years, I have helped young adults compose beautiful personal essays and supplementals to be accepted at distinguished colleges throughout the country.
College acceptance letters my students have received are from Boston Univ, Chapman, Loyola Marymount, Pepperdine, Purdue, TCU, Boulder, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, Univ of Oregon, Univ of San Diego, Univ of Washington, and more.
I graduated in English with an affinity for writing from the University of San Diego. Out of college, I worked as a freelance writer for several businesses. While teaching K through 8, I also coached young women and men at St. Ignatius College Preparatory in San Francisco.
Since that time, I have worked as a designer for tech companies in the Bay Area. The Product Design field incorporates unique methods to unearth creative ideas and deliver them to the market. I love to apply these methods in the essay writing process.
