Knowledgable and insightful tutor

Daniel has done 3 different sessions with our daughter to help her with her college application essays. We originally only planned to have him do 1, a quick review and editorial pass on her first essays, however his input was so valuable that we scheduled follow ups on the additional essays (she was applying for 10 schools, each with different essays). Daniel did a great job of posing questions to our daughter to get her to think about what unique skills and talents she brings to the table that would be of interest to schools. Additionally, he helped her with framing her essays to tell a story vs just listing a bunch of facts. She left the sessions very motivated and inspired to spend more time framing up and finalizing her essays (when she had originally thought they were pretty much done). I highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for help with college essays or writing assignments in general!

Daniel discovered more potentials in my essay

Daniel helped so much when he helped me draw out all the thoughts and passions I could write about. We had some disagreements and debates on parts, but we compromised and came to a mutual understanding. These conversations helped carry out the best version that I could not have possibly done on my own!

Great instructor for MBA applications

After working on the applications on my own, I worked with Daniel for three sessions where he really helped elevate my essays and resume. Having completed an MBA and being part of the admissions review committees himself, he is very knowledgeable about what the admissions teams look for in applications and how to make your applications stand out. He gives constructive feedback when needed but also works with hand in hand to improve specific nuances of your application. I recently found out I was admitted to two M7 and one T12 program and huge credit goes to Daniel.

Excellent teacher, extremely smart!

Daniel is a really good teacher who gets right to the point. He gave me very helpful insight on how to improve my undergraduate college essays for class. He was able to very quickly understand the deeper meanings of the book I was reading and help me analyze the text.

Knowledgeable Tutor

Daniel helped me through out my graduate application process. I definitely could not have done it this fast and in high quality without him. He was flexible with my schedule and was patient despite my hectic demands and deadlines. He offers realistic advice to improve my overall applications and essays. Daniel is definitely worth the investment.

Excellent tutor for MBA application

I spent so much time and effort on my deferred MBA applications. Daniel really held my hands and helped me to get through the essay editing, resume review, rec letter stuff, & solved my miscellaneous nitty-gritty questions. His advice and suggestions are very candid. His past experience in reading MBA applications helps me to differentiate my application from others. I could not recommend more to work with him on your MBA applications!

Exceptional time spent with Daniel

I worked for an extensive amount of time with Daniel covering financial analyses, modeling and overall concepts. He was extremely patient, thoughtful and helpful in addressing all aspects of the task. He was productive with the time and made sure I understood the materials before moving forward. I can't recommend Daniel enough and will be staying in touch with him for future projects! Thank you again, Daniel!
