Caitlin Palmer and Sarah Walker are Austin-based secondary English teachers with over 25 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. They currently teach at the renowned Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders,  where they foster strong, supportive relationships with students.

 

Sarah and Caitlin are experts in identifying strengths in student writing and teaching students how to craft essays that not only stand out to application committees but ones that students feel proud of. They have been recognized locally and nationally as outstanding writing teachers.

 

Their 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 snuggling with her dog, Biscuit, trying a new recipe in the kitchen, writing poetry, country dancing, or trying to learn a new musical instrument.

• Caitlin is probably cooking vegetarian meals, walking around Lady Bird Lake, and singing in a Paul Simon cover band.
