I am a student at Harvard College, a 2024 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, and an award-winning writer, photographer, filmmaker, and theatre artist, and an incoming bulge-bracket investment banker. I am a graduate of the prestigious Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, CA, and am currently concentrating in Economics and Statistics. I have extensive experience tutoring in math, English, history, and the sciences, each up to the AP level, as well as artist mentoring, test prep, and college application counseling and essay services.

As an artist and art mentor, I have wide-ranging experience with the upper echelons of high school arts competitions and programs. I have been selected for the Cannes Film Festival, and won the National YoungArts Competition twice, in film and photography, and was named a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts in 2024.

I'm passionate about educating in art, math, science, and English, and I truly enjoy helping students reach their writing potential. As a veteran of the college process and someone with extensive contacts in Ivy League admissions, I can help students craft an expert application and a killer essay, highlighting their best attributes with specific and personable stories. I also have deep first-hand experience with the SAT and many AP exams, and can provide top-notch test preparation with knowledge of test demands and materials.

I hope I can expand you or your student's academic and artistic potential, while helping them become the best applicant and person they can be!

Fantastic tutor!!

Ian is a great tutor, and really helped me to improve my dramatic writing. He’s very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and understands a variety of genres and styles, which allows him to give insightful feedback on my work. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in film, theatre, or generally the creative arts.
