College Counseling

College Counseling

I remember back when I had to go through process of choosing which colleges to apply to and working on my college applications. I understand that there can be a lot of unknowns when preparing for college, but I believe my expertise and comprehensive understanding of the process can help you! As a transfer student who will be attending UCSD this Fall, I also specialize in providing College Counseling/Advising to Community College students who intend to transfer to a 4-year university. I can help you with reaching out to resources at your community college campus, finding internships, selecting classes, choosing which schools to apply to, and guiding you in working on your college applications. Additional Qualifications: • Chapter President Collegiate DECA at De Anza College • Zero Waste & Climate Awareness Club President • ACM Vice-Chair • Accepted into UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UC Santa Cruz, University of Washington-Seattle
Marketing

Marketing

As a Business Economics student at the University of California, San Diego, I have taken numerous classes pertaining to marketing and, specifically, what makes marketing a success. In a marketing course at UCSD with over 50 students I was one of the top three students in the course, scoring over 98% as my final grade in the course. In my tutoring sessions, I would be able to apply everything that I have learnt in the classroom to my students needs. Furthermore, I am skilled a number of digital marketing, video editing, and graphic design tools which include (but are not limited to) Canva, Crello, Final Cut Pro, and iMovie.
Piano

Piano

From a young age, music has been a fundamental and important aspect of my life. I have been playing the piano since I was in third grade after begging my parents to send me for lessons. I successfully completed my Piano Certificate of Merit Level 10 Exam in High School after numerous Branch Honors awards over the years. I love working with children and students of all ages, and I consider myself to be friendly and patient. I believe I could make a great Piano instructor for you or your child.
