Join a small group of students for four 2-hour midday sessions (10:30 to 12:30) and then follow that up with two more individualized rounds of written feedback on drafts and two private online coaching sessions (20 minutes per session). Allowing days off between group sessions works well for students, giving you more time to write independently between sessions and lessening the stress for all involved.
Bruce Johnson has a doctoral degree from Harvard, taught in the Department of Education at Bogazici University for 12 years and recently retired from Tufts University near Boston. He has many years of firsthand undergraduate and graduate admissions committee experience.
This class will start on 7/9 and meets 7/10, 7/14, 7/21, and two scheduled private sessions.
