Hi! I’m Grey, a PhD educated tutor with expertise in writing, research methods, social science teaching, program preparation, application guidance preparation, and business consulting. I hold degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago and have business consulting experience. I have helped many students, professionals, and researchers improve their academic skills, write stronger papers, and succeed in their studies while building confidence.

I specialize in Academic Writing & Research (Essays, Reports, Dissertations, White Papers, Presentations); Social Sciences & Humanities (Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, History, and MORE); Business, Project Management & Research (End-to-end project guidance from inception of question through submitting final product); Personal Essays, Application Guidance, & Interviews (College, Graduate School, Early Career).

I have tutored and mentored since 2015, working with students at various academic levels to strengthen their research habits, subject understanding, writing skills, and project management. With four years of college-level teaching experience, I have guided students in sociology, humanities, research, and job and program applications, helping them excel in their coursework, independent projects, and life goals. My dedication to student success has been recognized through teaching awards, and many of my students have received academic honors and distinctions for their work.

I love tutoring because it enables me to empower students and professionals with the skills they need to think critically, communicate effectively, and achieve their goals. Watching my clients gain confidence in their research, writing, and problem-solving abilities is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy creating a supportive environment where learning feels engaging and transformative.

Business

Business

I have worked for 3 years in management and strategy consulting, including time at Bain &. Company. I have spent 5+ years developing leadership and educational strategies for higher education institutions, including work with the University of Pennsylvania. With a PhD and extensive training in qualitative and quantitative research methods, I bring a strong analytical and data-driven approach to understanding business dynamics employed in the aforementioned positions. I have also coached dozens of students into consulting and similar leadership careers.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I specialize in interview preparation for students and early-career professionals, as mentioned in my application personal statements I have helped 100+ students in the last 6+ years. The only client that I’ve had on Wyzant was, in fact, interview prep for a position at Bain one of the top 3 management consulting firms in the world, and this year alone I’ve had a 100% placement rate after my students interviewed at their desired company. Furthermore, my current position is a HR focused firm so I am specially trained and work with chief human resource officers CHROs and their teams from over 1000 global firms, including over 20%+ that are Fortune 500 firms. Finally, I am working on my SHRM certification so I understand the talent pipeline process from beginning to end.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

In the last 6 years I’ve assisted writing personal statements for dozens, if not hundreds of students and early career adults. This year alone I supervised a cohort that included successful personal statements to admission to UC Berkeley, Northwestern, Columbia, King’s College London, as well as numerous fellowships, grants (totaling 45k+ in awards) and internships. I currently maintain a position at as a volunteer for admissions and am part of conversations that admissions committees are seeking in personal statements which I bring to my work. I am always seeking to stay relevant and each year stay current to what Universities and job seekers are looking for example I’m currently taking a course through my employer on considering AI on students and early career which in turn will help me better prepare my students.
Sociology

Sociology

I hold a MA and PhD in sociology from the University of Chicago, where I taught over 12 quarters of sociology related courses to 150+ students. During my tenure I was also elected to teach BA Honors Thesis for a year, managing dozens of project end-to-end and having more than 50% of my students receive top honors more than any other preceptor that year. I spent 4 years working for the National Opinion Research Center a preeminent institution for sociological research, and helped teams win competitive funding grants. My work is validated by publications and awards in respected sociological conferences and journals.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

With a PhD in sociology, I have extensive experience mentoring students through the full thesis-writing process—from refining research questions and building frameworks to conducting research, reviewing literature, and producing cohesive, compelling work. At the University of Chicago, I taught the senior thesis seminar annually, and my cohorts consistently received the highest number of honors. Many of my students have gone on to expand their theses into published work, including graduate-level papers, op-eds in outlets like The New York Times, and peer-reviewed publications. I specialize in helping students move from idea overwhelm to clear, confident arguments and strong final papers.
