Summit Educational Group is pleased to sponsor this webinar designed by the expert writing coaches at Hillside Writing. The founder of Hillside, Allan Reeder, will share tips and strategies for young writers embarking on the college-application essay-writing process.

With a case-study approach, Allan will demonstrate what makes an essay resonate in an admissions officer’s mind and will offer practical preliminary steps toward achieving a stand-out essay. The instruction will include the evolution of recent model essays composed by Hillside Writing students that have prompted college admissions directors to write directly to the applicants with praise.
