Your ISB essays are more than answers to application questions — they're an opportunity to tell your story with clarity, authenticity, and impact.
ISB Essay Companion is an 8-session, one-on-one mentoring journey designed to support you from your first ideas through to your final drafts.
The journey includes:
1. Brainstorm & Story Exploration — Session 1
Explore your experiences, identify meaningful stories, and uncover the themes and perspectives that can form the foundation of your essays.
2. Essay Review & Feedback — Sessions 2 & 3
Bring your essay drafts and work through them together, focusing on structure, authenticity, clarity, storytelling, and impact.
3. Finalising Your Essays — Sessions 4 & 5
Refine your essays, strengthen the narrative, and work through the changes needed to ensure your story comes through clearly and authentically.
4. Final Review & Follow-up — Sessions 6, 7 & 8
Follow-up support as you move towards submission — whether you have last-minute questions, need to work through changes, or want another perspective on your final drafts.
Throughout the process, the goal is not to write your essays for you, but to help you uncover and communicate your story, in your voice.
