Bio

Hi, I'm Mason! I'm a freshman at Stanford University, where I plan to major in Computer Science. In high school, I was ranked #1 in my class and passed 14 AP tests. I also tutored my peers through the National Honor Society in subjects ranging from Calculus to Physics, and I scored in the 98th percentile on my ACT and scored a perfect in the reading section.

Hi, I'm Mason! I'm a freshman at Stanford University, where I plan to major in Computer Science. In high school, I was ranked #1 in my class and passed 14 AP tests. I also tutored my peers through the National Honor Society in subjects ranging from Calculus to Physics, and I scored in the 98th percentile on my ACT and scored a perfect in the reading section.

I’m here to maximize your ability to succeed in college admissions by enhancing your essays to make them more unique and appealing to colleges. I’m willing to work with you on every detail, from brainstorming potential colleges to the last few words on your final activity. I have spent countless hours writing essays and have a unique and deep understanding of the process. With essays becoming more important in the college admissions process, I will teach you strategies to enhance your essay and stand out to admissions officers by showcasing everything you can offer. I have helped other students transform their college essays, many of whom were accepted into prestigious schools. My knowledge and experience will help you craft your story through your essays.

I have experience with standardized test preparation (ACT and SAT), another critical component of the college application process. I have helped many students' standardized test scores noticeably improve. I not only help you with practice problems, but I also relay the techniques I used in order to ace standardized tests.

During my senior year, these are some of the schools I was admitted to:
Stanford
Dartmouth
Duke
Vanderbilt
Rice
USC
UC Berkeley
UCLA
UNC

I enjoy tutoring math because it allows me to help others understand and succeed in a subject that can often be challenging, and it is also my favorite subject. I find it rewarding to see a student's progress and confidence grow as they learn and master new concepts. Additionally, the one-on-one interaction and personalized teaching approach in tutoring allows for a deeper understanding and tailored approach for each student.
