A former magazine writer who helped launch E! Online, Amanda transitioned from tutoring neighborhood kids into full-time college essay coaching in 2018.

About Me


Amanda Schwartz built her first career as a writer, contributing to Los Angeles Magazine, InStyle, The New York Daily News, and Variety, and helping launch E! Online, where she covered coming-of-age television. That familiarity with teenage life served her well when she began tutoring neighborhood kids in English — and as those kids grew up, she found herself naturally guiding them through college essays too.

Amanda earned a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA and launched her full-time practice in 2018, helping families find colleges that fit academically, socially, and financially. She's a Professional Member of IECA and a member of NACAC, has participated in the inaugural College Essay Guy Advanced Counselor Retreat, and — as a parent to her own coming-of-agers — is writing a new chapter of her own story too.
