About our Process

At ESSAY NAVIGATOR we guide you through the process of developing a compelling essay, one that will help admissions officers appreciate your unique journey. 

WHAT WE DO:

  • BRAINSTORM.  We help you to find the aspects of your personal journey that most effectively showcase your individuality.

  • CRITIQUE.  We critique your drafts for structure, logic, tone, grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation.

  • PROOFREAD.  We check your essay with a meticulous eye to make sure that it's free from errors.  

Essay Navigator's mission goes beyond helping you to write a great essay.  We want our students to be better writers. Communicating effectively in writing is an essential skill for success in college and beyond, so we make sure that our students understand the reasons behind every revision that we suggest.

 

WHAT WE DON'T DO:

  • We don't write your essay for you. Your essay is a reflection of you as a person and as a student.  Authenticity is vital.

  • We don't guarantee that you'll be admitted to any particular school. There are simply too many factors that are out of your control.  The only thing you CAN do is to make sure that you have written the best essay that you are capable of writing, one that will do justice to your unique personal journey.
