Bio

Hello! I'm Carolina, and I love helping people develop their reading and writing skills. My true passion is creative writing -- I'm currently a screenwriter with representation in LA -- but I also have extensive experience with academic and business writing.

Hello! I'm Carolina, and I love helping people develop their reading and writing skills. My true passion is creative writing -- I'm currently a screenwriter with representation in LA -- but I also have extensive experience with academic and business writing.

I graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard University in 2018. As a Sociology major, I learned how to read academic literature, write analytical essays, and conduct independent research. My senior thesis won the Hoopes Prize and the Albert M. Fulton Prize. I also taught a civics course to elementary school students through the Harvard Institute of Politics.

After college, I spent four years as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. In this role, I further developed my ability to synthesize data and concisely articulate a point of view. I volunteered with McKinsey's hiring efforts, reviewing 100+ resumes and conducting dozens of job interviews. I also provided interview coaching for 100+ applicants in group and individual settings.

As a tutor, I really enjoy working with high school and college students on writing skills. I also have experience coaching students for consulting interviews-- my past students have landed job offers at top firms such as McKinsey and BCG. I am happy to provide individual or group instruction. Let me know if you're interested in working together!

Effective Consulting Prep!

Carolina is hands down one of the most effective and fun people I’ve worked with. From day one, she made casing feel less like a chore and more like a puzzle we were solving together. She quickly picked up on my weak spots, including structuring under pressure and overthinking simple math, and gave me clear, specific tools to improve without making it overwhelming. Every session felt personalized and energizing, and I actually looked forward to them (which I didn’t think was possible with consulting prep). Her feedback was sharp, honest, and incredibly supportive. Thanks to her, I landed a Deloitte & BCG offer. I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone who wants to grow fast in consulting prep!

Intuitive and very helpful!

Carolina was great to talk with and throughout our session I felt very productive. She helped me brainstorm ideas that put me at a great starting position to write my rough draft for a project I'm doing, and she was able to help organize my ideas together in a preeminent way. It was amazing to work with her!

Closing off 3 sessions for career development

Carolina and I worked to recreate my cover letter and resume for applying to some remote technical jobs. Each meeting Carolina was prepared with google docs filled with notes and conversation topics that lead us through our meetings. Her input and experience helped immensely and I am so happy with the results of my new docs! She's smart, understanding, and knows how to translate your message. Thank you and will reach out for anything in future!

Incredible insight and went the extra-mile

Carolina asked me a lot about my thinking when reviewing my resume/essays. She didn’t just provide blind feedback, which is rare for tutors. She articulated complex thoughts into really simple explanations and sent me the notes afterwards. Most impressively, she thoroughly reviewed the documents I sent before our session. We were able to go right into the action plan. Carolina’s professional and academic experience is clearly evident and I will definitely schedule with her in the future.

Patient and open minded!

Caro is a fantastic writing tutor who cares about her students’ success. She worked with me over multiple sessions to refine an essay for my program, with her guidance. You won’t regret hiring her!
