Hi there!

I’m Braden Hajer

I love education, and getting people excited about their own work. It’s deeply fulfilling for me to watch students develop a stronger sense of self-understanding through the college app process, and learn the art of writing along the way. With my understanding of what colleges are looking for, I help students package themselves in a way that’s authentic, interesting, and effective.

Services

I can help with every part of the application process:

  • Brainstorming essays — the common app, supplementals, etc.

  • Editing, both at a macro (structure, flow, impact) and micro (syntax, diction, grammar) level

  • Details on the common app itself and other applications

  • Moral support

And I can also help with high school writing assignments!

Rate

I charge $80/hour.

“Braden is incredible. Cannot recommend him highly enough… Despite working with an expensive college counselor, her essays were not where they needed to be. Braden was the only person who could get her to rewrite. He is fantastic!” - Anne, Parent

“He was incredibly helpful, my son enjoyed working with him!” - Jolene, Parent
