Becky’s College Qualifications
Hello! I’m thrilled at the opportunity to support you on your writing journey. With seven years of experience in government, non-profit, consulting, and technology roles, I have honed my writing skills and developed a passion for helping others succeed. I’ve successfully assisted friends and their siblings with college essays, scholarship applications, and Common App personal statements, leading to numerous acceptances and grants. Additionally, I went through this process myself when I was accepted into Claremont McKenna College in 2015 and graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 2019. If you think my background and expertise align with your needs, I would love to hear from you!

About Becky
I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Claremont McKenna College with a degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). My academic background reflects a strong foundation in critical thinking, writing, and interdisciplinary analysis. Professionally, I’ve worked across international development and politics, and I currently focus on sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance). These experiences have strengthened my ability to break down complex topics, communicate clearly, and support students in developing both subject mastery and confidence. I’m excited to work with students on a range of needs, from academic tutoring in writing, humanities, and social sciences to college preparation, including essays and application guidance. I aim to create a supportive, thoughtful learning environment tailored to each student’s goals.
Why do I coach?
Coaching matters to me because I’ve seen how much of a difference it can make, both as a student and on the other side. When I got to college, I worked with writing coaches to help me adjust from high school to a much more rigorous academic environment. That experience really shaped how I think about learning—having someone give clear, thoughtful feedback made things click much faster and helped me build confidence. Later on, in my consulting roles, I led trainings for new associates and got to mentor people who were going through a similar kind of transition into something new and challenging. I saw how valuable it is to have someone in your corner who can break things down and make the process less overwhelming. That’s what I try to bring to tutoring: practical support, honest feedback, and helping people feel more confident in their own abilities.
