Harvard Graduate with a Decade of Admissions Coaching Experience
Welcome to my profile! I'm a pre-medical student, tutor, nutritionist, and entrepreneur with a passion for helping students succeed. With over 9 years of experience as the Founder and Head Tutor at Harvard Tutors, I have coached 400+ students to achieve their college admissions goals. As a high school student, I received admission offers from all of the Ivy League colleges I applied to (Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, U Penn). I graduated from Harvard College with a BA in English in 2014. I'm proud to say that my students themselves have received offers from all of the Ivy League colleges + MIT and Stanford, and won over $35k in scholarships! As an English concentrator at Harvard, I specialized in creative writing (fiction & poetry) and took part in highly competitive writing seminars with esteemed writers such as Jamaica Kincaid, Jorie Graham, Bret Johnston, and Joshua Bell. I have helped students with diverse backgrounds and writing styles produce dazzling, funny, inspiring, and out-of-the box admissions essays that have helped them gain admission and generous scholarship awards. In my past decade of teaching students of all stripes, I have developed a unique coaching style that will make our sessions a truly enjoyable experience! My comprehensive admissions approach combines personalized, milestone-driven plans to help you stay on track and gain confidence. Let's work together to unlock your full potential and achieve your goal of attending your dream school. I did it, and so can you! Reach out to me today to get started.
