Free consultation meeting

We’re excited to meet you! In this meeting, we’ll discuss the schools you’re applying to and your deadlines.

Buy tutoring credits, use on anything

At Brightfox, you buy a package of tutoring hours, or credits, that you can use on any service we offer. Test prep (SAT, ACT, AP), schoolwork tutoring (Math, Science, English, History), and college counseling/essay writing. Have other kids in the family? Hours can be used on them, too. There’s a four-year expiration. Get help with anything you need help with. Nothing you buy will go to waste!

Pair you with a college essay specialist

We believe that the right mentor can make all the difference in the college essay process. That’s why we take a thoughtful, personalized approach to pairing each student with an essay instructor. We consider factors like writing strengths, communication style, academic interests, and overall personality to ensure a strong, collaborative fit.

Our goal is to create a trusted, one-on-one partnership—so students feel supported, confident, and empowered to write essays that are both personal and powerful.

Upload your information and book your first sessions

Scheduling at Brightfox is simple and flexible. Just choose the subject, and all available time slots appear. You can book the same slot each week for consistency or change it up week to week. Do more sessions before a submission deadline, or take a break during vacation. Sessions run six days a week, in-person and online.

How Sessions Work

Our instructor works directly with your student, one-on-one, teaching them Algebra 2 concepts using our proprietary curriculum or their class-specific materials. Once they have a solid grasp of a concept, they complete either their homework or one of our quizzes so we can measure their ability to complete the work independently.

During this time, the instructor rotates to the second student, who is working on a different subject altogether (perhaps SAT English). The instructor will return to your student, evaluate how they performed, and correct any errors. If ready, they will move on to the next topic. If they struggled, we’ll stay on the same topic as long as needed.

Brainstorming and Extracurriculars

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining a final draft, our writers guide you through every step of the process—brainstorming, structuring, editing, and polishing—with care and clarity. The result? Essays that are authentic, well-crafted, and aligned with what top colleges are really looking for: a real person behind the application.

Main Essays and Supplementals

Main essays and supplementals serve different purposes—but both are critical to a strong application. Our writers understand how to strike the right tone and structure for each. With the main essay, they help students uncover personal stories that reveal character, growth, and individuality—crafting a narrative that leaves a lasting impression.

When it comes to supplemental essays, our team brings a sharp focus on clarity and purpose. They guide students in writing answers that are specific, insightful, and tailored to each school—without falling into clichés or generic language.

We know that great essays don’t just check boxes—they connect. That’s why our writers work closely with each student to ensure every piece of writing feels intentional, genuine, and part of a larger, cohesive application story.

Project Management

Some students thrive with structured guidance and clear deadlines; others need space to explore and reflect. Some already have a draft and need a sharp editor, while others are just starting out and need help finding their story. Whatever the case, we’ll support you from start to submission!

What sets our college essay writers apart is their unique combination of experience, empathy, and storytelling expertise. They come from backgrounds in education, admissions, or professional writing—giving them an insider’s understanding of what makes an essay stand out. They help craft essays that are both compelling and true to who you are.
