If you are applying to college, knowing when to start writing college essays can be a daunting question. And quite simply, the answer varies for each student depending on their activities and personal work style. The best time to start a college essay is early enough to think about the Common App prompts, decide which one is right for you, and brainstorm ideas. How much time you will need to benefit from that brainstorming period depends on your individual needs.

Some students do well with long periods of time to think and create, others become anxious with the lack of structure and shut down. Having a qualified, professional tutor to help assess when to start writing college essays, therefore, is very important. A college essay coach can determine the right timeline for writing a college essay along with school work and activities, and prevent any feelings of writer's block and anxiety that many high school seniors feel over this high stakes task. The right tutor will help the creative process flow, even if you do not know where to begin! So whether you need help from start to finish, or another set of eyes towards the end of the process, an essay coach can give you the advantage you need to write an outstanding essay.
