"I'm a graduate of Haverford College, a top-ten liberal arts institution, and am currently a PhD student in Comparative Literature at NYU where I also teach undergraduate literature courses. For almost a decade, I've been working with students of all backgrounds and skill levels, tutoring high school and college writing, as well as the SAT, ACT and, for the past four years, the GRE. Additionally, I have designed SAT, ACT and GRE practice questions for professional tutoring companies which have been used in both classroom settings and in practice test booklets. When helping students prepare for standardized tests, I begin with a comprehensive diagnostic exam to isolate both problem areas and areas of competence, which I then use as a basis to construct a personalized study program for each student. My goal is always to help the student maximize their potential in the most efficient way possible—so neither time nor money is wasted!

I have also worked as a private admissions counselor for the past five years, harnessing my extensive behind-the-scenes experience at top-tier undergraduate and graduate programs to help prospective students craft applications that speak to admissions committees, and most importantly, that stand out amongst the endless stacks of applications that clutter their desks. I offer comprehensive admissions counseling (covering everything from the application to the interview) as well as assistance with individual aspects of the application (essays, personal statements, CVs, etc.). In the past twelve months alone, I've guided successful undergraduate and graduate applications to Stanford, Columbia, Brown, Yale, NYU Stern, Wharton, and Harvard Medical School, among others.

Whether I'm helping you or your child with a high school English project or an application to a top-five law school, my goal in every case is to provide personalized assistance designed to maximize your individual potential and to always make the process as fun (or at least as painless!) as possible. I'm also told my jokes" less...
