The Essay Coach process:

1. The student e-mails Dan a phone-photo or scan of the essay that s/he wrote, and now wants edited
   
2. Dan types the essay as written (ie, without corrections) into a Word document
3. Then, during the (in-person or online*) session between the student & Dan, all of the following are done simultaneously:

• Dan edits the Word document of the essay WHILE
  
• The student participates & watches her/his essay in Word as it is being edited WHILE
  
• Dan asks the student pertinent editing questions - through which Dan teaches Essay Writing to the student

*For online sessions:

• Both the student & the tutor share the Word document of the essay on their screens
  
• Editing comments are clearly noted, and saved, in Word’s “Review” mode
  
• After the session, the document – now replete w/ edit notes – is e-mailed to the student
  
• After the session, the video and/or audio of the entire session can be e-mailed to the student if a recording was requested before the session began
