As a current student at an Ivy League University (The University of Pennsylvania), I’m ready to give you the rigorous training needed to reach the perfect scores on standardized tests I achieved (1600 on the SAT).
My 2nd service is admissions consulting. I’ll edit all the essays, activities lists, resumes, GPA/Test Score addenda, etc. The admissions committees should feel COMPELLED to grant you an acceptance.
My 3rd service is maximizing scholarships and financial aid. I have copious expertise regarding external merit-based scholarships (non need-based) and the internal merit-based scholarships (separate applications often required) available at some Colleges.
I’ve been tutoring and essay editing for the past 7 years. My clients were accepted into some of the most competitive Colleges including: Harvard, MIT, Caltech, University of Pennsylvania, Stanford, Columbia, Princeton and Yale. I’ll share the latest tricks, including strategizing the selected major (school dependant), keeping “privilege” in check, and optimizing additional materials to send.
Finally, I can plan ahead by discussing which summer internships you’ll need to secure in order to get on the right track. I received a rare freshman summer internship at Deloitte. So whether you’re trying to break into Finance or Big Tech, I can discuss the Coffee Chat requests, College research opportunities, etc. My GPA is 3.82 in the Economics major, thus I have particular expertise for those heading into investment banking, consulting, private equity, venture capital and hedge funds.
I am very adept at tutoring those with ADHD or dyslexia. With the brutal job market currently facing grads from all schools now (hitting hardest grads of low-ranked schools), can you afford not to optimize your applications? If you fail to land on the right track now, you’d likely fall off permanently and never get back on.
Thus, I would argue that my services are not a luxury. These days, with employers more ruthless than ever, my services are a necessity.

Approved Subjects

Acting

Acting

I excel in acting with hands-on experience directing a feature film called Athens Academy involving 19 actors, where I managed performances, handled bloopers, and organized a mock Academy Awards event. I teach techniques like method acting, vocal modulation, and body language through warm-ups, scene studies, and improvisation exercises to develop authentic characters. My background includes performing at Renaissance Fairs as a medieval storyteller and musician in front of over 10,000 attendees, as well as auditioning for America's Got Talent while singing and playing three different instruments: piano, harp, and violin. I guide students on overcoming stage fright and adapting to roles, using my opera singing lessons with Alexander Tolstoy Prokhorov to emphasize expression and timing. Sessions involve rehearsing monologues from Greek tragedies inspired by my Classics club founding and modern scripts, with detailed feedback to refine delivery. I have mentored club members to win competitions and build confidence for auditions. My UPenn Theater in Philadelphia course with an A grade further strengthens my expertise in stage techniques and ensemble work.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

My experience in Algebra 1 includes receiving an A+ in my competitive high school’s advanced honors Algebra 1 class. In addition, some other evidence of my math ability that I can teach you or your child Algebra 1 includes that I got an 800 on the math SAT, have received an A or A+ in every math class I’ve ever taken (including at my Ivy League school), and having placed 65th nationally in mathematics in a Math Olympiad competition. I would be delighted to teach you or your child Algebra 1 to help them catch up, study for a test, get help with troublesome homework, or look to get ahead. In addition, once Algebra and Geometry are finished, you or your child is ready to take the SAT, for the most part. Thus, my tutoring will not only help with the math homework, but it will also allow you or your child to take the SAT early. This is critical in order to be able to take the SAT multiple times before senior year of high school, and thus reach that competitive score necessary for the top schools.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Whether you are struggling or looking to get ahead in Algebra 2, I can help. I have years of experience tutoring students in Algebra 2. In addition, evidence of my math ability includes scoring at the top of my class and receiving the highest grade of an A+ in my advanced high school’s honors Algebra 2 class. The teacher thought that I was not only highly skilled at Algebra 2 but also effective at teaching it to other students in class, so he selected me as a teaching assistant for my high school’s Algebra 2 class. Further reasons why I believe I would be the best Algebra 2 tutor for you include scoring a perfect 800 on the SAT math section and ranking 65th nationally in a mathematics competition I participated in during high school that covered several Algebra 2 topics. I can help with a wide range of Algebra 2 topics, including linear equations and inequalities, quadratic functions, polynomial division, rational expressions, logarithms, and more! Algebra 2 is the final step before you are ready to tackle most questions on the SAT or ACT. Make sure you know Algebra thoroughly, and there will be nothing to stop you from excelling at the next level of math. Algebra 2 is what will help carry you through the college application process and beyond.
AMC (Competition math)

AMC (Competition math)

I specialize in AMC competition math, having placed 65th in the international Math Kangaroo contest in 2023 and won first place in three Market Watch stock market simulations in 2021. I teach problem-solving strategies for algebra, geometry, and number theory, using past papers to practice time management and multiple-choice tactics. My perfect 1600 SAT math score reflects my ability to break down complex questions like combinatorics and inequalities into logical steps. Students benefit from timed drills, error analysis, and conceptual explanations to build resilience and accuracy. I incorporate visual aids for geometry proofs and patterns, helping participants qualify for AIME and achieve high scores.
Calculus

Calculus

Whether you are navigating AP Calculus or advanced college-level coursework, I provide the targeted insight needed to master complex concepts. I earned a 5 on both the AP Calculus AB and BC exams and have maintained a perfect "A" average in all calculus courses at my Ivy League university. My deep mathematical foundation is further evidenced by a perfect 800 on the SAT Math section and a 65th-place national ranking in a Math Olympiad competition. With several years of experience, I specialize in helping students bridge the gap between "doing the homework" and truly understanding the underlying theory. Whether you need to catch up, get ahead, or prepare for a high-stakes midterm or final, I can help you achieve a top-tier grade.
Career Development

Career Development

My particular specialties within career development are: 1) securing summer internships for undergraduate and graduate students, especially before the last year of graduation, but also during 1st and 2nd year summers as well 2) Early career entry into Finance (including into Investment Banking, Private Equity, Hedge Funds, Growth Equity and Venture Capital) as well as Consulting. We can discuss your prospects at the Bulge Brackets, the MBB and the Big 4. 3) Early career entry into High-Tech firms (Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft).
Chess

Chess

I have been a Chess Coach for over 9 years, since I started as a child chess prodigy. I founded Zap Chess School and coached students as young as 2 years old. I teach strategies, openings, and get my students to participate in tournaments. I want to build super strong players. But even more importantly, I make sure my students are having fun! This keeps students engaged and coming back for more. But in the meantime, while students are having fun with the game, chess is also developing the students’ math skills surreptitiously. Students that play chess will obtain the vital enrichment and brain development that will give them a headstart in so many endeavors they pursue in life.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I tutor, edit and consult about each and every aspect of the College Admissions process. There are clever and even sneaky strategies for choice of schools, programs and majors. I am also very dialed into the job market, so can give advice from that angle as well. College applications have become more competitive than ever. Thus, it will be extremely important to review every part of the College application including the activities list, the resume and explanations of unusual circumstances. I will leave no stone unturned. Each of the essays needs to be tailored differently for different schools. If you are applying to 20 undergraduate institutions, this could easily mean writing 100 different essays. I know what these schools want, so let’s work together to finally clinch that acceptance.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I’ve been tutoring elementary school math for over 7 years. I specialize in helping students who are struggling, need to catch up, prepare for a test, or want to get ahead. What sets me apart from other tutors is my high energy and creative teaching style. As an Ivy League student who has earned an A or A+ in every math class, and with a minor in Fine Arts, I combine strong math skills with artistic talent. I bring concepts to life by drawing pictures, mapping out word problems visually, and using fun, relatable examples like cupcakes and toys to make learning enjoyable and memorable.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I am a 1st place winner in my state of the George S. & Stella M. Knight Essay Contest (2024). I was also a semi-finalist for 2 years in a row of the Ayn Rand International Essay Contest (The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged novels, 2023). I teach thesis development, evidence integration, and coherent structure for academic and scholarship essays, using cohesive outlines and consistent citation styles. My $10,000 Calugar Foundation Scholarship in 2024 was awarded in part due to my SAT score, and in part due to my winning essay. Students learn to analyze prompts, incorporate counterarguments, and polish language through brainstorming and draft reviews. Sessions focus on introduction hooks and conclusion strength, leading to winning submissions and scholarships. You can literally fund your education purely through better writing if you apply to enough merit-based external (and some internal) scholarships. I am available for both essay editing and essay writing.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I excel in interview preparation, having conducted successful interviews for Deloitte and UPenn admissions, as well as interviewing Hamilton cast members for the Gilder-Lehrman Institute. I conduct mock sessions, question anticipation, and structured answers with storytelling for impact. My public speaking experience includes hosting the National History Teacher of the Year Award and speaking at the United Nations as invited by a Prime Minister. Students learn body language, confidence building, and follow-up strategies through practice and feedback. Sessions focus on behavioral as well as case questions. This results in job offers and admission success.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I am an internationally recognized public speaker and political writer who has addressed live audiences of thousands on topics ranging from global economics to political advocacy. My experience includes serving as a youth speaker at the United Nations and hosting national ceremonies at prestigious venues like the Harvard Club of NYC. I have won over 25 national and international awards for my communication skills, including a Golden Key from the National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. I specialize in helping students master speechwriting, delivery, and the confidence needed to excel in leadership roles, such as student government or competitive public speaking.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I’ve been tutoring SAT math for over 7 years. The reason I believe I can help you score higher on the SAT math section is that I received a perfect 800 on the SAT math section myself, earned an A or A+ in every math class I’ve ever taken, including at my Ivy League school, and ranked 65th nationally (United States) in a math olympiad out of 6 million participants worldwide. In addition, I’ve taken both Kaplan and Princeton Review, so I also know all the tricks combined into one approach. What’s different about me compared to other SAT math tutors is that I’ll be able to teach you the in-depth way of how to solve an SAT math problem, while also teaching you the multiple trick methods I’ve learned myself. I’ll teach you how the SAT math section works and why it is absolutely critical for you to obtain admission to competitive schools. It is possible to lag behind on the verbal parts, but your math score must be absolutely stellar for top-ranked schools. Many of my students complain that they can do the math problems but simply run out of time. I can tackle such cases immediately and show you how to finish all the math with time to spare.
SSAT

SSAT

Using unique methods I created, including mnemonics and picture techniques, I eventually memorized over 1,500 vocabulary words, which resulted in my scoring a perfect 800 on the verbal vocabulary section of the SSAT. I also scored in the 99th percentile in all three sections, including math, verbal, and reading comprehension. I can help you or your child achieve a much better score using the unique memorization methods I’ve created for vocabulary questions and the fun logic methods I’ve developed for analogy questions. In addition, I can help you or your child with reading comprehension by mapping the reading passage with pictures and explaining not only why the correct answer is correct, but also why the other answers are wrong. I received an 800 on the SSAT and then went on to an 800 on the SAT math. Let’s see what we can achieve together.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I’ve been tutoring trigonometry to students for over six years and have completed several advanced courses involving heavy trigonometric applications at my Ivy League university. I was recognized as best-in-class for trigonometry in both my high school’s advanced Pre-Calculus and Algebra 2 courses. Whether you need help with trigonometry for Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, or a college-level course, I have developed several effective mnemonics and strategies to help you truly understand the material. My personal track record includes a perfect 800 on the SAT Math section, consistent A or A+ grades in every math class I’ve ever taken (including at my Ivy League university), and ranking 65th nationally in a prestigious math competition.

All the math problems done perfectly; and I also did SAT Math (had timing problem on the SAT)

Before I got on Wyzant, I actually had a genuinely difficult time finding a smart math tutor who can actually do the math that my math teacher assigned for homework. I even tried to find tutors who were teachers at my school but they often did not even know how to do the hard problems that my math teacher was asking us to do for homework! I could not believe it! Like literally, other public school math teachers could not even do the math problems. So I searched for a while longer including at some colleges nearby but still could not find a good one. I am so glad I finally found a tutor that can actually do the math problems without any issue or without taking too long to figure it out (which takes time). I needed an actual math-smart tutor and finally found one. We ended up doing math but then I realized she can also help me with some SAT problems too. So we did some of that and now I finally understand. She also gave me a brilliant way to reduce time so I can finish the math questions on time. I am so glad my struggle in finding someone who both knows the math and can explain thoroughly is over. This has not been an easy task at all.

Smiley, fun and engaging

My fifth grader has had a smile on her face working with June today. I recently realized that my kid was struggling to develop a paragraph let alone write an essay. June is just the tutor to catch her up!

Super fun and engaging lesson!

I loved my chess lesson with June. She has a great sense of humor and clowned around just enough to keep my attention span going. Typically, I have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time, and yet I sat through my 4-hour lesson very easily with June without needing to get up as usual. I am trying to become more competitive, so will likely come back just before upcoming tournaments or when competing with a stronger opponent. Would highly recommend June. She just teaches strategy better than other coaches.

Best for admissions consulting to the Top 20 schools

I tried many admissions consultants already and this is definitely the best one among the ones I had. I am a junior in high school right now and am gearing toward applying to the top 20 Colleges and Universities starting this summer. I wanted to make sure I have an admissions consultant lined up for when the applications come out this August 1st for all the little additional essays for each school that the top 20 schools ask, but also needed to get my main large Common App essay edited right now, before the other stuff opens up since I was scared to run out of time by the time I start my senior year. Well, after the editing of my main common app essay, it was honestly the difference between night and day. My main common app essay is now unrecognizable from its previous version. Originally, I thought the rough draft of my essay was actually pretty good. But now, when I see the difference after the editing, I realized my previous version that I created (and received changes from others) was actually quite flat and mediocre. I think the schools are now going to love this version waaay better than what I had before. I definitely recommend June to anyone who wants to get a much, much better common app essay for their applications. On August 1st, I will definitely come back for the additional essays that the schools will post.
