Expertise
I try to work with students to look at their goals, academic history, SAT or GRE scores, extracurricular activities, etc.... I then try to help these students figure out where they stand in order to best achieve their goals. At times, I am able to suggest specific schools a student may be interested in. I am unable to tell students whether or not they will obtain admission to a specific college, however, I am able to provide general guidance. While I will provide general college / graduate school essay topic advice, I will not provide any editing assistance.
Experience
I have been an SAT I, AP Biology, and writing tutor for the past eight years. I have provided college advice and essay editing for many of my former students, and have served on the alum interviewing committee for my alma matter (an ivy league school).
