Meet Emily

Emily Piper is passionate about making learning engaging and accessible for all students. As a former high school science teacher, she used storytelling to bring complex concepts to life—whether it was explaining chemical bonds as prom couples or tailoring lessons to different learning styles as a special education teacher.

She works closely with them to brainstorm meaningful examples, structure their essays effectively, and refine their writing through thoughtful editing. By building strong relationships and fostering a supportive environment, she empowers students to express their ideas with clarity and authenticity. Her guidance helps students elevate their writing, ensuring their college essays truly reflect their strengths and experiences.

Outside of work, Emily enjoys going for runs to explore new neighborhoods or trails, reading magazines with a cup of coffee on the porch, taking care of plants (indoors and out!), and spending time with her dogs.
