You’ve worked hard to earn a place at one of the top universities in the US. I can help get you there. As a current admissions coordinator at Harvard University, I know what distinguishes successful applicants from the rest. Prior to Harvard, I was an admissions officer at a leading university in Connecticut. With more than 10 years of experience as a professional college admissions consultant and essay editor, I have helped hundreds of students earn acceptance at the most prestigious colleges and universities in the US.

I have a master’s degree from Stanford University, and I specialize in helping students gain admission to similarly elite schools. Along with my alma mater, I have helped students earn acceptance to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell, MIT, Johns Hopkins, Duke, Georgetown, Washington University in St. Louis, Carnegie Mellon, USC, Boston College, every UC, and many more.

My deeply informed, highly supportive approach has helped students gain admission to every one of the top 50 universities in the US. I am even prouder of the fact that each student with whom I have worked has been admitted to at least one of their top choices.

Your admissions essay is one of the most important elements of your application, and the one most directly under your control. Having reviewed thousands of college admissions essays while working in university admissions, I can help you craft an application essay that is tailored to your personal strengths and uniqueness, making you truly stand out from the crowd and garner the attention of admissions committees. Being in admissions also enables me to stay informed about the latest admissions trends and insights, thereby maximizing your chances of securing a spot at your dream college. I can help at any stage of the essay-writing process, from gathering information and outlining your thoughts to final proofreading and finishing touches.

Exceeded my expectations - HIGHLY recommended!

If you’re looking for the BEST personal statement tutor , look no further! Having been highly unsatisfied with my Personal Statement essay, and knowing I had 3 more days until the application deadline, I came on wyzant, hoping for a miracle. I now realize that I couldn’t have hired a better tutor. He addressed all of my worries. Mr Kevin is an incredibly knowledgeable and efficient tutor - he helped me transform my blunt, and disorganized essay into one that successfully describes the student in the best way possible! In a way, that I myself, ironically, couldn’t have. Not only did he give me substantial feedback on my essay, but he told me where to improve, and helped me refine the structure of my essay, making it flow much better than it use to. Every minute of my lesson with Mr Kevin was used efficiently - he gets rights to the heart of what needs to be done. Throughout the lesson, I knew I was talking to someone very experienced and knowledgeable, who knows exactly what he’s talking about. His brilliant suggestions helped me refine my essay so much, that I am no longer stressed with the applications process. On the contrary, I’m looking forward to it- that’s the impact that lessons with Mr Kevin have had on me. I am more than happy with the outcome of the final version of my essay. It is also worthwhile to mention, that Mr Kevin truly cares about his students - he comes prepared to every tutoring session, and was willing to tutor me for an hour and a half, whilst only charging me for 50 minutes. The class was also so entertaining and insightful, that being an European student, I was happy to stay up late to have a lesson with this tutor. Thank you so much for being the tutor that goes the “extra step”, and one that actively listens to the students needs. I truly couldn’t have found a better tutor- having been tutored by a handful of tutors, I can wholehearted say that this is the best of the best that you can ever encounter.

Can't say enough wonderful things about Kevin!

Kevin helped my son with his college application essays. We first tried a different essay coach prior to Kevin and my son did not vibe with that person at all. My son and I both appreciated Kevin's knowledgable and encouraging style as well as his efficiency and responsiveness! Kevin is not a time waster - he gets to the point, but is also willing to answer your questions and spend the time needed. Some of my son's sessions were very quick and others lasted a little longer, but he always walked away feeling encouraged and more confident. He had thoughtful and insightful feedback to help take my son take his essays to the next level, which we believe was an important element in helping my son differentiate himself among many other competitive applicants and was able to gain acceptances to many top schools, including three Ivy Leagues! I would not hesitate to give Kevin my highest recommendation and my son wholeheartedly agrees!
