College Admission Essay Counselor
Empowering Students & Professionals to Write with Purpose & Succeed with Epic Flow since 2005
“In junior year, Kevin helped me build better skills to organize my responsibilities and manage my time, and I have been drawing on those techniques since. In senior year, he also played a major role in my college application process, giving feedback throughout the essay-writing process and helping me reflect on what I value most in educational institutions....I’m now in my first year at Yale.”
”One of the things I appreciate most about working with Kevin is that he takes the time to get to know you as a person outside of the academic work he’s helping you with, and that extra dedication allows him to provide advice and tools that are personalized to your lifestyle and needs.”
“After working with Kevin for the last 10 months, my son has improved his ability to reflect, write, edit, and complete his assignments. Although reluctant to work with a tutor at first, our son connected with Kevin right away. He enjoys his tutoring sessions!”
“Kevin Arnold is more than just a great tutor. He is truly a master of his work, seeking to cultivate genuine academic curiosity within his students as well as high academic performance. Last year, I had the pleasure of working with him on a number of my college applications, and I could not be more proud of the results. Throughout the process, Kevin not only provided valuable feedback – he was truly passionate about my growth and development as a thinker and writer.”

My Coaching is Driven by Purpose & Insight
I have worked empowering students and professionals as an Executive Function & Writing Coach, & College Admission Essay specialist for over 20 years.
I love what I do for work – engaging my clients in a purposeful, liberating process, while bringing critical thinking and insight to their writing and academic lives.
Nothing is more rewarding than watching my clients develop and complete their writing projects at the highest level, master a new skill with confidence, or ultimately get accepted to the college of their dreams.
Logistics & Location
Wherever you are, I am available for either in-person or online coaching. Although I am based in Santa Cruz & the Bay Area, I work with clients across the US and internationally.
Depending on their needs, most College Applicants require ~15 hours over 6-12 weeks to complete a college application that meaningfully enhances their candidacy for their top-choice schools.
For Executive Function skills and general Academic Coaching, most students require 1-3 hours per week to build scaffolding and structure into their academic lives.
Writing Coaching and Content Creation have infinite possibilities. I work closely with authors, filmmakers, professionals, and creatives from a wide spectrum of disciplines to generate effective and intuitive content.
(Sliding scale rates for payment are available to accommodate a wider range of budgets, as I know that coaching can be quite an investment.)
