Hello! My name is Amanda Bloom and I’m an Associate Professor with 15 years of experience teaching writing at the University of Southern California.
My main areas of expertise, outside of teaching, include the college essay (Common App, UC Essays) and the college admissions process. I’m glad to meet with parents and their teens to discuss strategies for building an academic, extracurricular, and service profile that would enhance their odds of being admitted to the nation’s top colleges. When it comes time, I can assist with curating college application materials and helping students brainstorm for their college essays and craft memorable narratives that make them stand out from the crowd.
My clients have been accepted to UCLA, USC, Berkeley along with Northwestern, Northeastern, Penn State, and many top liberal arts schools.
All coaching is held in person or in the virtual space, via Google Meets or Zoom.
