Hi, I'm Michelle, and I am a student at Princeton University in the Class of 2029. I was accepted to 10+ top-tier colleges, including Ivy League schools such as Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania, as well as highly competitive universities like NYU, Tufts, Notre Dame, and the University of Florida. I received interview invitations from Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Georgetown; experiences that required me to present a strong, cohesive application across essays, activities, and interviews. I wrote more than 70 essays during this process, giving me deep insight into what different schools look for and how to tailor writing for diverse prompts and audiences.
I'm an AP Scholar with Distinction and have won multiple prestigious state awards in French, demonstrating advanced language skills and academic rigor. I've also conducted research alongside influential university professors, which sharpened my analytical thinking and academic writing. In addition to academics, I serve in local student government, where I have strengthened my leadership, communication, and organizational skills. I currently teach English online to Ukrainian students, which has improved my ability to deliver clear, patient, and customized instruction virtually. These experiences make me adept at supporting students with different learning styles and goals, especially in one-on-one settings.
My tutoring specializes exclusively in college essay editing and application guidance. I work closely with students to brainstorm authentic essay ideas, structure their narratives effectively, and refine their writing for clarity, tone, and maximum admissions impact. I also assist with crafting activity descriptions, resumes, and overall application strategy, including navigating platforms like the Common App, UC, and Coalition. To tailor my feedback, I provide students with a detailed questionnaire about their experiences and personality, enabling me to guide them in developing highly polished applications.
