The transition from high school to college is a milestone that should be exciting and fulfilling, not confusing, stressful, or overwhelming. Most students don't get the one-on-one support at school they need to truly understand the college application process. Our Successful and Stress-Free College Applications & Essays membership gives your high school sophomore, junior, or senior 4 weeks of one-on-one support with an Ink Spot teacher covering everything from thorough research to stand-out applications to powerful essays. We'll ensure your college-bound student understands exactly what they need to do to apply to their top choice schools and help them develop a stellar essay and application they'll take pride in submitting.

“These sessions helped me understand all aspects of the application process, including support on writing my essay. I learned really specific tools for selecting my essay topic and what language to use in the writing. I left brief meetings with my school counselor still feeling confused, but the one-on-one support I got at TIS answered every question I had and helped me feel more empowered through the college application process. I wrote essays I am so proud of for both my main applications and my scholarship essays.”
