"I have helped hundreds of students craft unique college admissions essays and increase their ACT/SAT scores, with many gaining acceptance into prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Yale, UC Berkeley, Columbia, Cornell, and Stanford. My students consistently achieve significant score improvements and develop strong academic skills.

My approach includes breaking down complex problems into manageable steps and using prompting questions to encourage independent problem-solving. I tailor each session to address individual strengths and weaknesses, ensuring a customized learning experience that fosters growth and confidence. I have worked with students on planning the writing process, developing persuasive arguments, enhancing style, and addressing grammar or technical issues. My goal is to help my students create an authentic voice in their writing, making their essays stand out to admissions committees.

Having learned English as a second language at the age of nine, I understand the challenges that immigrants and first-generation college students face in mastering academic language skills. This personal experience fuels my passion for helping students overcome similar obstacles. I know firsthand how daunting it can be to navigate a new language and academic environment, and I am committed to providing the support and encouragement needed to thrive.

Although I am new to Wyzant, I bring over ten years of dedicated college admissions and career coaching experience. I hold a double major in English and Computer Science from UC Berkeley, equipping me with a strong foundation in both creative and analytical skills.

Whether you're aiming to master your reading and writing assignments, improve your ACT/SAT scores, or craft a standout college admissions essay, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Together, we'll unlock your full potential and set you on the path to academic excellence. Contact me today to schedule your first session and take the first step toward achieving your academic goals!" less...
