“Prior to this course, I was absolutely lost when it came to that college essay; I had no direction or ideas. However, just a few days into the class and I already had a great topic and a clear idea of what I wanted to say. In the end, I was left with a personal essay that I was not only proud of, but also spoke to my own values. Mrs. Kloehn clearly knows what she is doing.”
— Ryan, Princeton Class of 2022
“Mrs. Kloehn took my essay to the next level. She focused my essay in order to make it stronger overall!”
— Meg, Notre Dame Class of 2024
“This class was the reason I was able to write my college essay! Lori is so kind and intelligent, and she helped me through what might have been the most stressful part of my summer! Instead, it was engaging and even a little fun!”
— Maeve, Amherst Class of 2022
“Mrs. Kloehn was very helpful, generous, and thoughtful when reading our essays. She gave great advice, and in just one week, I feel that I have a strong essay!”
— Charlie, Ohio State, Civil Engineering, Class of 2024
“This class was not only informative and helpful, but enjoyable. It forced me to think and write about parts of me that are the hardest to convey. It gave me a great start to the college essay, early in the summer. I feel more prepared for what is to come in the fall.”
— Athena, Princeton Class of 2023
“I was so thankful that Ms. Kloehn agreed to help me with my college essays. She’s a whiz with grammar, and ensured that my essays were grammatically sound. But—more importantly—she helped me get to the heart of what I was trying to say. I tend to write verbosely and with unnecessary complexity, but Ms. Kloehn kept me on track. In the end, my essays were far more heartfelt, expressing my ideas succinctly and powerfully. Ms. Kloehn enlivened my essays. It also doesn’t hurt that she is an absolute delight to work with. I would instantaneously recommend her to anyone.”
— Remy, Yale Class of 2020
“Going into the college essay writing process, I hardly knew where to begin. I started so many essays that went straight into the trash can as soon as the first draft was finished. I had the right ideas in my head, but getting them onto paper in the right way was hard for me. Lori helped me to consolidate my thoughts and organize them into effective essays. She gave a fresh perspective on my writing and meticulously reviewed each detail with an experienced eye, allowing to craft my best work. If it weren’t for her help, my essays would have been sent off in rather rough shape. Instead, I was able to construct effective essays that helped me to achieve my academic goals. ”
— Thaddeus, Schreyer Honors College, Penn State Class of 2020
“Lori helped me find my voice in writing. Through small writing activities and even the dreadful college essay, I was able to capture myself through the art of words. Both creatively and structurally, Lori teaches you how to construct your piece, along with challenging you to look past what you’re comfortable with to create something new and innovating. I for one struggled with the craftsmanship of an essay and thrived in the creative aspect, yet was still guided to look outside of the box more and to construct a college essay I still read and enjoy to this day. Lori helps you write more than just that pitiful college essay; she teaches you to love and appreciate your eighteen years of life through one six-hundred word essay.”
