Amy Haskell Writing Specialist, from Wilmette, IL to Charlotte, NC 

I founded my company to help you, parents, help your teen expand skills to achieve success and happiness. You value education and your relationship to your children. You want your children to have the confidence to submit college admission essays that win acceptance. You’ve come to the right place!  

My team and I provide exceptional writing tutoring to build skills and boost grades and win with application essays – from college essays through graduate school essays.  

One student told me: “Mrs. Haskell, I learned more about writing from you in one hour than in two years of high school English class!” His improves skills gave him “A” grades on essays, his confidence grew, he smiled, so did mom.

When I first started tutoring, a parent from Winnetka, IL shared with me, “Amy, your writing tutoring has given peace to our entire family.” 

I knew I needed to help more students.

– Authority on college admission essay writing, high school essays and graduate school application essays.

Even the most gifted students with the best teachers, can lack the personalized attention to succeed with writing, given their busy lives and the reliance on technology. 

The problem, many times, is how to help teens learn specific technique to elevate their skill to clearly communicate whether in an English class essay or a college application essay. 

My step by step process helps bring the story to life. Strategy plus individual attention creates incredible results for students.

They feel happy. They feel empowered. They feel motivated. 

From reading hundreds of books as a young child with my mom, and as an avid reader today, I believe everyone has a fascinating story that guides thoughts, beliefs, and actions.

Even during challenging times, the silver lining exists. The life lesson waits to be learned. 

Ultimately, when teens connect with who they are and how they see the world, they gain clarity, increase energy, and develop extraordinary success – with their writing and their lives. 

So get ready, let’s write! Email us now! amy@totalwritingenrichment.com 

From the North Shore of Chicago to Charlotte, North Carolina, my team and I are here to help your motivated teen write outstanding essays that win college acceptance.

When I’m not busy helping students excel with their writing, you can find me soaking up time with my husband and four children.  

I’m also a distance runner turned master swimmer and relate my struggles to complete a swim workout to help motivate my students as they complete their essays…and to help make them laugh.

I may be slow in the pool… but I love every second of the challenge and relate my growth to inspire your teen to find happiness.
