Meet Your Coaches
Sarah Walker and Caitlin Palmer are Austin-based writing and college application coaches with over 30 years of experience coaching writers through the college admissions process. They have coached hundreds of students through the application process, many of whom have been admitted to the most selective universities in the country.
Sarah and Caitlin are experts in teaching students how to craft applications and essays that not only stand out to application committees but that students feel proud of. They have been recognized locally and nationally as outstanding writing teachers.
Sarah and Caitlin's superior communication skills and emotional intelligence make their sessions with students productive, engaging, and memorable, and the skills they teach transfer to a wide variety of contexts beyond the application process.
When she is not teaching and coaching…
-
Sarah is probably writing on a new song, digging in her garden, or out country dancing.
-
Caitlin is probably cooking, walking around Lady Bird Lake, or singing in a Paul Simon cover band.
