Welcome! Colorful College Essays offers a unique, coaching program that combines premier essay coaching with a deep empathy and admiration for today's college applicant. My approach replaces anxiety and procrastination with creativity and motivation-transforming the "dreaded" essay writing experience into a journey of self discovery that is the key to stand out college essays.
Andrea Elovson, MFA

For the past thirty years, I have been a writer, a university writing tutor and now a college essay professional. My training includes a Masters In Fine Arts in writing, the completion of the UCLA College Essay Writing Boot Camp and The Teen Wisdom Coaching program. I coach college applicants privately and in summer group workshops- both in person and virtually.
"I never thought I would say this, but writing my common application essay was actually fun! Andrea taught me how to look inside myself and create an essay about my values, strengths and personal beliefs. We don't learn this in school. But we should!"
- Zoe M.
"Andrea played a pivotal role in helping me craft compelling, transfer essays during my time at Penn State. Not only is she a great esssay coach, but her humor, empathy and desire to help others make her a great guide and mentor."
- Enmanuel E.
"As an international family we were confused about the essay writing process. Andrea took the time to explain everything in a way we could understand. Her background working abroad and with international students made all the difference."
- Rachel L.
"Within minutes of meeting Andrea I knew everything would be OK. I had been so worried about my graduate school essay, I kept putting it off. I now have an essay that truly expresses who I am and what I have to offer my college choices."
- Sylvia V.
