Need help with an essay?


We offer this service for the editing of essays! Contact us at lassothemoon001@gmail.com to inquire about this service. 

The Essay Doctor: This is a service that allows students to work with us on an essay-to-essay basis. They can submit one or ten essays, depending on their needs. We will edit the essay entirely, commenting on content, style, presentation, tone, and overall effectiveness, working with the student through drafts until the essay is complete. The student does not have to meet with us to enjoy this service.

Need an idea for an essay? We will talk with you via phone or Skype to brainstorm and uncover the PERFECT topic.

Two of Our Services


These are two of our main services. They can be custom-designed to the needs of students and families. These are concierge-style services; the counselor is always available to students and families for questions and consultations. 
Four-Year Plan: This service will provide students and their parents academic, extracurricular, personal, and test-taking guidance throughout high school. This will be a long-term dialogue that will allow us to assess the students’ strengths and weaknesses, to advise them on how to best utilize the academic and extracurricular program at the school they attend, to make recommendations regarding internships and summer programs, to find appropriate merit scholarships, and then to guide them through all facets of the application process.   
Special tracks will be offered for students interested in playing Division I athletics or in applying to an art program that requires a portfolio.
Senior-Year Success Plan: This service, which will start the summer before senior year, will provide students a robust college list and see them through all the steps of the application process. A key service will be the writing of an annotated resume that will allow counselors and academic teachers to write thorough recommendations for students. In addition, we will help brainstorm and edit essays so that they are in the students’ voice and also provide an accurate and engaging metaphor for the student.

Lasso the Moon offers the educational and college consulting expertise of 30 years to clients who want to take full advantage of the vast college and university landscape in the United States. No one should feel excluded from higher education in the United States, and yet far too many do, or do not know how high they can reach. We can show them just how high . . . higher than they ever imagined. We want ALL students to have access to colleges and universities that they might previously have felt were beyond their scope. We want students, families, and schools to recognize that socio-economic barriers, family background, geography, and race and ethnicity are immaterial to the college-application process. Acceptance into the most competitive colleges is not the sole domain of students who attend exclusive private schools. All students can and should have access to college—and to the most elite colleges—if they have the right counseling and can, therefore, plan properly. Our goal, as an independent college counseling service, is to provide the plan, the tools, and the confidence to students to gain access to the college of their dreams.
