WRITING

Writing sessions are ideal for students who need basic composition tutoring, and/or guidance on how to begin writing the college essay or other academic writing samples (i.e. fellowships or study abroad).

Students work 1:1 with Danielle to:
— review essay prompts
— organize thoughtful outlines
— compose a draft from scratch
— review subsequent drafts
— produce a final product

Uniquely led by Danielle’s signature TCM philosophy, Writing sessions help students clarify their goals, find their inner voice, and confidently introduce themselves to admissions and/or hiring committees to distinguish them from other candidates in a memorable way.

EDITING

Already have written work that just needs some editing? Editing sessions are ideal for students who have begun the writing process (i.e. for college essays, resumes, cover letters) and already have a first draft to workshop. Students work 1:1 with Danielle to:

— review directions, prompts, and application questions
— edit content + style: grammar, punctuation, word choice, language, organization/flow, and strengthening your writing voice
— finalize a distinct + polished final product

Unlike traditional admissions prep, these editing sessions are uniquely led by The Carpe Method philosophy: Danielle guides students to think about which admissions application questions they choose to answer and how they all come together to tell the student’s individualized story to present them as strategically as possible.

COACHING

Coaching is the core of The Carpe Method. Students work 1:1 with Danielle on a variety of topics that are integral to academic achievement, professional development, personal growth and overall success in college, career, and beyond.

Coaching sessions are ideal for:
— high school students (preparing for college admissions)
— incoming first-years (to get oriented to college life)
— sophomores or juniors (primed for leadership development)
— seniors (preparing for graduation/life after college)
— graduate students (for guidance on academic careers)
— early/emerging talent (for job searching/career development)
— mid-career (for career mapping/professional development)

Students are welcome to propose topics of their choice.
Minimum 2-3 sessions are required for successful coaching.
