"College Counseling, SAT Math, SAT Reading, SAT Writing, ACT Math

Hi there! I’m Zoë, a senior at Harvard University majoring in bioengineering. With five years of tutoring experience—including three years of college application consulting—I’ve helped students gain admission to Harvard, UPenn, Johns Hopkins, MIT, and other top schools. I tailor my approach to each student’s timeline, guiding them through every critical step of their application journey.

I specialize in standardized testing, including the SAT, ACT, PSAT, SSAT, and ISEE, focusing on both subject mastery and test-taking strategies. With four years of experience tutoring math—covering geometry, algebra (I & II), pre-calculus, and calculus (I, II, & III)—I’ve developed a strong foundation in problem-solving. Competing in academic math and science competitions strengthened my ability to approach timed exams strategically, helping me score a 1580 on my first official SAT.

As a tutor, my first priority is understanding how each student learns best so I can tailor lessons to their needs. I emphasize clear communication to pinpoint challenges and help students develop strategies that will serve them beyond our sessions. Most importantly, I strive to make lessons feel like engaging conversations rather than lectures—I value feedback and enjoy getting to know my students.

Most importantly, with three years of experience in college counseling, I know how crucial a compelling narrative is in making an application stand out. My youth and targeted experience help me connect with students, making them feel comfortable sharing their stories and aspirations. I work closely with them to craft authentic, impactful essays that highlight their strengths, ensuring they present the strongest version of themselves in their applications.
