What Other Counselors Are Saying:

For the first time in my eight years of college counseling, I am beginning to get a handle on how to assist my students with the essay writing process. I am extremely grateful to be given tools that I can both relate to and apply with my students. I will listen to Ethan present every time I am given the opportunity — he is that good!!!

Valerie J, Private School Counselor

I’ve done a lot of courses, and this was the best so far. The PDFs are great, as are the links. I’m printing all of it and will make a binder for reference.

Jann Russell, Counselor

Ethan you are so approachable and fun to listen to. You care deeply about your work and the students. You are an inspiration.

Susan, Counselor
