Expert College Admissions Coach: Unlock Your Path to Your Dream School
Why am I your ideal college admissions coach? My journey in education, from transforming test prep in Singapore and Shanghai to founding and leading my very own test-prep company, Global Scholars Institute in New York, has been driven by a passion for unlocking student potential. My expertise isn't just in guiding students to Ivy League and top-tier universities (Harvard, Penn, Yale, MIT, among others!)—though my track record there is unmatched—it's in identifying and nurturing the unique strengths of each student to help them find their perfect educational match, anywhere in the world. Having graduated with honors from NYU and getting my MBA from Columbia Business School I bring a rich understanding of the academic landscape. But beyond credentials, it's my personalized approach and global perspective that set me apart. I've helped students from diverse backgrounds gain admission to institutions that best fit their aspirations, from the most elite universities to hidden gems that offer the perfect environment for them to flourish. Choosing me as your coach means partnering with someone who sees your unique potential and knows how to navigate the path to your dream school.
