UChicago English/Creative Writing /AP/Essay/College Admissions Tutor

Tyler S.

Hello! My name is Tyler, and I am extremely grateful to be a part of your (or your child's) academic journey.

As a current University and Presidential Scholar at The University of Chicago, I double major in Creative Writing: Fiction & English Language and Literature. Perceptibly, reading and writing lay the foundations of my wheelhouse.

As a college applicant, I obtained a perfect ACT score and was accepted to eleven of the top twenty 2025 U.S. News universities. A public school student from Long Island, NY, my life was utterly transformed by these acceptances. Having only recently gone through the college application process, I understand the ins-and-outs of what it takes to be successful in this battleground arena—not as it was five or ten years ago but as it stands now! Please allow me to assist you (or your student), and I guarantee there will be no regrets.

My previous mentorship spans a plethora of experiences including engagement through Tutoring Chicago, reading to children in Chicago's south side, and serving as a mentor through the Adroit Journal. I primarily work with ninth, tenth, and eleventh graders who are a life-defining phase of their education. With these students, I have reviewed a breadth of AP English and History courses, motivating my tutees to fulfill their goals and beyond. Through my mentorship, students have won National Scholastic Writing Awards and gained acceptance to selective creative writing programs like Interlochen Center for the Arts, YoungArts, and the Adroit Journal Mentorship.

My approach to tutoring is simple: passion. I strive to identify every student's motivation, the thing that drives them profusely. What do they enjoy? What do they want? Why? Then, we fit those answers love into an academic love and utilize this newly-settled context to greatly nourish our success—together.

Allow me to change your (or your child's) relationship with writing,
Tyler
