"Hello, I’m Amin and I'm here to help you get into your dream school! I graduated from Harvard with an honors degree in Economics and a language citation in Chinese. Along the way, I've won writing awards and have crafted business strategy at leading companies.

For more than a decade, I've mentored students through the college admissions process. I've dedicated hundreds of hours to one-on-one instruction, helping students craft powerful essays and achieve top SAT/ACT scores. Outside of individual tutoring, I’ve volunteered for local Harvard admissions committees. I've also led group workshops on college admissions and have taught internationally. My students have been admitted to Stanford, Brown, and Dartmouth and have received scholarships to U Miami and SMU.

What sets me apart is my own Harvard story. While my metrics were strong, I wasn’t the valedictorian or a perfect test score applicant. In fact, many of my teachers scoffed when I mentioned I was applying to Harvard. What set me apart was a compelling college essay that my admissions officer specifically mentioned as a key factor in my admission.

My approach is simple: help students build an application that admissions officers genuinely want to accept. Having gone through a highly competitive high school, I understand how to efficiently achieve excellent results. For the SAT/ACT, I emphasize drilling weak points, question strategy, and understanding the mechanics of the test. For college essays, I avoid spending time on simple grammar and instead focus on prose, reflection, and storytelling. I’m a perfectionist who won’t leave any stone unturned until we get a result that you are proud of.

No matter your background, we all have a compelling story to tell. My mission is to help you craft an application that confidently shares yours. Too often, applicants with lots of talent miss out on their top schools because of weak essays, low test scores, and poorly packaged applications. Working together, we can achieve excellence." less...
