Betsy Gennosa, Writing Coach
I am a doctoral student at Hofstra University with many years of experience as an English teacher and writing coach. I enjoy working with students as they prepare their college application essays. It is an exciting time in their lives, and working with them to bring out the best in their writing is rewarding.
We can work in person or collaborate using Google Drive, which allows us to work through multiple drafts. Working through Google Drive is an excellent way to collaborate since I can share written feedback and suggestions through comments attached to the text. My comments will focus on structure, style, and purpose. I allow students to maintain or find their voice while sharpening their writing skills. Students can work at their own pace, or we can schedule to collaborate in real-time if the student finds that more helpful. Students can share documents with me by "sharing" them through Google Drive at [email protected].

Testimonials:
Thank you Betsy for your amazing essay editing skills. Julie got into every school she applied to! She said your help was so valuable!

Betsy was tremendously helpful in the college essay process. She guided me in writing an essay for the Common App that I’m extremely proud of and in writing supplemental essays for the honors programs and scholarships that many of the schools offered. With the much appreciated help of Betsy, I got into every one of the ten schools to which I applied, with offers to join the honors programs at each of them!

Betsy Gennosa was an amazing resource when my daughter was applying to college and writing her essays. It was very important for my daughter to retain her own voice. Betsy would make suggestions to help improve her writing, but always kept the essay my daughter’s end product. In addition to guiding my daughter through the writing process, Betsy used her teaching skills to thoughtfully navigate my daughter through this daunting and stressful process. At the end, my daughter felt confident in her college essay and in her writing skills.
We are very grateful to Betsy for all her help. Logistically speaking, Betsy works with Google docs, so in- person meetings were not necessary with my daughter; all the sessions were done remotely and in real time, which was perfect for our family’s busy schedule. In addition to all that, Betsy’s rates are lower than market for superior quality service.
I highly recommend Betsy and have recommended her to my friends.
