Hi, I'm Sri!

I have five years of experience tutoring and counseling students from elementary school through the law school application process. I love helping students think critically, ask better questions, and build real confidence, no matter the subject. My background spans STEM and social science subjects, so I can meet you exactly where you are. Whether you are working through a math problem, crafting a personal statement, or preparing to stand in front of an audience, my approach is always the same: shame-free, student-centered, and focused on building foundational skills that last well beyond our sessions together.

My tutoring and counseling work spans three areas. For students applying to college or law school, I guide you through the full process, including personal statements, short answers, scholarship strategy, and interview prep. My focus is on helping you find and articulate your authentic story, not just polish an essay. I have helped students secure over $300,000 in scholarships, won over $150,000 in scholarships myself, and am personally admitted to multiple T-14 law schools, including Ivy League institutions.

For students looking to become stronger communicators, I draw on my background as a nationally competitive high school and collegiate debater and three years of coaching nationally ranked high school debate teams. In our sessions, we could focus on research skills, strategies for debate rounds, public speaking, and presentation exercises, improving body language while communicating, and fun exercises that help you gain confidence as a communicator.

For elementary through high school students, I bring seven years of experience tutoring mathematics, history, English, science, and writing. I always emphasize building critical thinking skills over getting the right answer. My classes are conversational, and I encourage students to ask questions. I can help students with proofreading and editing essays and papers as well.

Approved Subjects

Debate

Debate

I bring eight years of competitive debate experience across Policy Debate, Lincoln-Douglas, Public Forum, Oratory, and Impromptu, competing at the national level in high school and continuing through college. I coached nationally ranked LD, Policy, and Public Forum teams as an assistant coach, guiding students from foundational skills through advanced competition. My background gave me mastery of the core techniques that drive success across every debate format: precise argumentation, strategic research, persuasive speaking, and round-level decision-making. I offer coaching to improve speaking confidence and communication skills, develop technical competitive debate skills, and provide paid research support, including file cutting and speechwriting. Whatever your goal, I meet you where you are and build from there!
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I hold a B.A. in International Relations and an M.A. in Public Diplomacy, and my work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals. My writing experience spans a broad range of formats and includes: academic essays across liberal arts and quantitative subjects, scholarships and grant applications, op-eds, policy memos, and college admissions essays. I have completed collegiate-level writing coursework and bring that formal training together with years of real-world writing across institutional, academic, and professional contexts. Whether you are crafting an argumentative essay, a personal statement, or a policy document, I help students find clarity, structure, and voice at every stage of the writing process.
GIS

GIS

I have applied GIS analysis in both academic research and professional policy settings, using spatial data to support complex analytical work. I am comfortable with data visualization, map production, and conceptually explaining GIS methods to students at any level. My experience spans hands-on analysis and communicating geospatial findings to non-technical audiences.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have personally navigated and coached candidates through interviews across federal government, private sector, NGO, and academic settings, including college and graduate admissions and competitive scholarships and fellowships. I bring firsthand experience with every major format: behavioral, case-based, timed, virtual, and AI-assisted assessments. My approach builds genuine confidence and transferable strategies, so you are prepared no matter the institution or industry. Whether you are a student, early-career professional, or seasoned candidate, I would love to help you!
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have guided students through the personal statement process with proven results, helping them earn collectively over $300,000 in scholarships and gain admission to multiple top-25 undergraduate institutions. I understand what admissions readers are looking for, and I help students find the specific voice, narrative, and structure that make their essays stand out in a competitive pool. Law School & Graduate Admissions: I bring firsthand experience earning admission to multiple T-14 law schools, including Harvard Law, and have personally won over $600,000 in scholarships, fellowships, and grants across my academic and professional career. I understand how selection committees think, what they reward, and how to frame a candidacy compellingly. I also offer 1:1 counseling for scholarships, fellowships, and grants that students may be applying to. I help students identify their strongest narrative, sharpen their voice, and build applications that are both authentic and compelling from first draft to final submission.
Speech

Speech

I am a nationally competitive speaker with three years of experience coaching students in speech and public speaking across a range of contexts and skill levels. My focus is helping students develop clear delivery, confident stage presence, and the ability to connect authentically with any audience, whether for competition, class presentations, interviews, or everyday communication. I tailor my approach to each student's individual goals, from building foundational confidence and overcoming nerves to refining advanced rhetorical technique. Students I work with leave with a stronger voice and the tools to use it effectively in any setting.
Tableau

Tableau

I have used Tableau to build interactive dashboards and visualizations in professional policy and research settings, translating complex datasets into clear, accessible insights for senior audiences. My experience includes connecting Tableau to multiple data sources, designing intuitive layouts for non-technical stakeholders, and integrating visual analysis into broader analytical workflows. I am comfortable helping students learn Tableau from the ground up as well as refining the skills of those with intermediate experience.
