Since I became the first student from my high school to attend Harvard University, I have been offering local tutoring regarding the college application process. I have expertise in SAT prep, the personal statement (from brainstorming to final revisions), supplemental essays, picking colleges of best fit, and even offering frameworks and advice for approaching college admissions interviews. I have been doing this tutoring for nearly 2 years now, and have been doing all kinds of tutoring in my community for 5 years.

As a high school student taking the SAT in December of 2019, I scored a 770 out of 800 on the Math section of the SAT. I am not only capable of teaching math to help you get there, I can also provide access to many of the resources I used to study for the SAT and offer strategies that helped me approach the SAT.

In addition to teaching English reading and writing to help you get there, I can also provide access to many of the resources I used to study for the SAT and offer fundamental strategies for time management and interpreting questions that helped me approach the SAT reading/writing portion.

Trying to figure out the best way to approach my application, I spent months researching what went into the college admissions process after you turn in your application, using that information to shape my approach to writing college applications. Having found success with these methods and earning myself a full ride to Harvard University, I offered this knowledge to my community, and have since organized countless workshops and 1-on-1 sessions focusing on SAT prep, the personal statement (from brainstorming to final revisions), supplemental essays, picking colleges of best fit, and practice for college admissions interviews.

I have 2 years of college admissions tutoring experience, and 5 years of experience tutoring as a whole, making me a reliable and experienced option for your tutoring needs. As a student, I devoted months to researching the college admissions process, then used what I learned to develop guides on the college admissions process. Today, my areas of expertise include helping students pick colleges of best fit, navigate the Common App, write personal statements and supplementary essays, and both prepare for and approach an interview.

I play a lot of basketball in my spare time (over 5 times a week). I have played on my high school's team in the past, am familiar with many drills, and am at a level at which I could teach any newcomer to play.

Joseph dedicated the effort to understanding my daughter's current situation and profile. He also conducted preliminary research, which enriched the session, making it both valuable and purposeful. We intend to maintain our collaboration with him moving forward.
