"Hello! My name is Andrew and I am particularly interested in mentoring students and supporting families that have goals to develop a competitive college admissions application as well as be a well-rounded young person in academics, social life, and extracurricular interests. I am a lifelong Philly local and product of the School District of Philadelphia (Central High School 278) who pursued undergraduate education at the University of Pennsylvania - The Wharton School for a Bachelor's of Science in Economics. I have mentored and tutored K12 youth in Northeast and West Philadelphia since 2017, including college and career coaching as well as literacy and math coaching, on both paid and volunteer basis.

My tutoring approach is rooted in relationship-building and fostering shared understanding of my student’s goals so that we can build an appropriate plan to achieve those goals. I have successfully applied this approach in classroom settings, small group settings, one-on-one sessions and virtual sessions. Some of the organizations I've gained my 8+ experience with K12 mentorship, tutoring and college access include: TEACH LLC (February 2025 – Current), Independent Virtual Tutor (December 2024 – Current), Netter Center for Community Partnerships & Philadelphia Higher Education Network for Neighborhood Development at UPENN (Spring 2022 – Summer 2024), West Philadelphia Tutoring Project (Fall 2019 – Fall 2022), and Oxford Circle Christian Community Development Association (Fall 2017 – Summer 2019)." less...
