Our Story
When Cornell alumnus and award-winning author Lanre Akinsiku founded Pelion, he started with a simple idea: telling a good story can change the world. But telling a good story isn’t easy, and telling a good story in a college application presents students with unique challenges: What makes me stand out? What if I’ve never told my own story? How can I get a busy reader’s attention?
Lanre designed Pelion to help students tell their best stories. As a writing instructor at Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Princeton University (at the LEDA Summer Institute), he earned recognition for his passion and imagination in the classroom, inspiring his students to find their voices and write stand out essays. The values he developed in the classroom are what set Pelion coaches apart: a focus on college-level writing technique, a passion for finding each student’s unique voice, and a commitment to help students write the stories that get them noticed.
