About Pateel


Bio

The beginning of my academic journey started at my local community college where I was proudly involved in esteemed academic honors programs. I later successfully transferred to U.C. Berkeley (go bears!) where I pursued dual bachelor's degrees in Public Health and Psychology, graduating with honors. Finally, I am a recent graduate of Yale University (boola boola) and earned my Master of Public Health degree as a Hortsmann Scholar.

The beginning of my academic journey started at my local community college where I was proudly involved in esteemed academic honors programs. I later successfully transferred to U.C. Berkeley (go bears!) where I pursued dual bachelor's degrees in Public Health and Psychology, graduating with honors. Finally, I am a recent graduate of Yale University (boola boola) and earned my Master of Public Health degree as a Hortsmann Scholar.

Having mastered the transfer experience and successfully navigating my undergraduate and graduate programs, I am passionate about helping students to actualize their goals by providing admissions essay consultation services. The personal statement is one of the most important aspects of the college application (especially for the common app and UC system). I have worked with a wide variety of students on their personal statement who have been accepted and successfully matriculated to competitive 4 year undergraduate and graduate programs - dentistry, speech and language pathology, undergraduates political science/biology/humanities, medical and more. I have also served a graduate teaching fellowship and worked with Yale graduate students to develop their brainstorming, outlining, organization, revising and drafting skills. My passion for writing has led to the acceptance of my work in Murmurs, the Yale School of Medicine's health professional creative journal.

I have been in your shoes. I’ve stepped in and out of local small public magnet high schools, big community colleges, huge public university campuses, and private Ivy League classrooms. I have truly seen it all. I want you to reach the goals you have set for yourself and with my background and expertise, I am certain that I can help you do just that.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any inquiries! I am so excited to connect with you!

My absolute best,
Pateel

College Counseling

I recently earned a Master of Public Health from Yale University. The rigorous program trains students to produce an advanced academic level of writing with the goal of communicating ideas effectively. I have also served a Yale Teaching Fellowship from 2022-2023, where I assisted graduate students on brainstorming, outlining, organization, revising and drafting papers. Across many research labs, I have been preparing manuscripts to be submitted to academic journals for the past 2 years. Additionally, I have also published my creative literary work in journal magazines. I have been invited to present at university transfer panels to speak about my educational background and have offered my services to attendees. I have worked with many students on their admissions essays over the course of the past 5 years. I ensured that they arrived at the most authentic and polished versions of their essays ready for admissions committee review. Many of the students I have worked with have been admitted to competitive 4-year programs. The accumulation of these academic, professional and personal experiences have developed my skill set for college counseling.

Wonderful College Essay Reviewer

As a college essay tutor, Pateel is simply exceptional. Over the course of many draft revisions, she has proven to not only provide thoughtful feedback and suggestions, but also to care deeply about seeing her student succeed. Pateel always reads through each draft multiple times, never missing the tiniest of details. It's clear she works diligently to fully understand exactly what each student aims to convey in their writing before offering her experienced perspective. Every comment Pateel makes serves a specific purpose - whether reworking an awkward phrase to flow better or asking an insightful question to prompt the student to develop an idea further. My daughter truly appreciates her assistance.

Incredibly Helpful and Knowledgeable

Pateel helped me with my Statement of Purpose for my Ph.D. Applications. She took the time to answer all my questions patiently and provided constructive feedback tailored to my writing style. Thanks to her guidance, my statement of purpose has been transformed into a highly polished and cohesive piece of writing. I highly recommend her for all your writing needs!

Best Tutor ever !!!!!!!!

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptional tutor recently, and I cannot speak highly enough about her expertise and dedication. From the moment I started my sessions, it was evident that she possesses a profound understanding of the subject matter and a genuine passion for teaching.

Enthusiastic and helpful tutor!

Before starting my tutoring sessions, I was confused about how to approach the complicated Common App process, but Pateel helped me understand the essence of what admissions officers were looking for. Now I feel more confident in the ideas I am exploring in both my Common App and Supplemental essays, as she managed to explain what I was doing wrong/ right very clearly. Thank you!

Awesome Tutor!!

Pateel helped me work through my graduate program application essay and understand how best to edit it. She was really patient as we read through, answered all my questions and made sure the essay still carried my voice despite any editing. I feel a lot more confident now with my work. Would definitely recommend her for any application help needed! Thank you!!
