Hi there, thanks for visiting my profile! I specialize in college application essays and chemistry.

College Apps:
College admissions have grown increasingly competitive. This means that the personal statement could be the deciding factor of who 'stands out'. I will guide you in the crafting of an essay that you can be proud of, and that will level up your game.

I have professionally helped students with their admission essays for over a decade that have gotten them into undergraduate, grad, and medical schools. My services include thorough reviews of your writing with detailed feedback and guidance to encourage self-expression that makes an impression. Let's have conversations that help you gain a clearer vision of what you want to convey, and we will drill drafts to achieve that goal in a way that leaves an *impact*.

Chemistry:
When it comes to chemistry, sometimes it doesn't make sense until it suddenly clicks. My job is to make it click. Since no one student is the same, I focus on your individual learning style in order to convey the material in a manner best suited to you. We will leverage a strategic approach to cover the material, including systematic breakdowns, practice problems, and consistent check-ins to get you up to speed with your curriculum and then some.

I hold degrees in Chemical Engineering and Political Science, and am currently in the tech space. I have also worked as an elementary school classroom assistant, a language-program instructor, and a 1-on-1 tutor with students of various ages. I have helped many students land exciting college acceptances and great grades in Chem, and I hope you can be next! Let me know if you'd like to book a first lesson.

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

I have tutored high school students in various levels of Chemistry for over five years, including AP. I hold a degree in Chemical Engineering and am generally well-versed in STEM subjects.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I have helped individuals with their application essays for over seven years. I worked for a university Career Services department, assisting hundreds of students with their personal statements and statements of interest for college, graduate programs, including PhD programs, law school, and medical school, as well as resumes and letters of intent for job applications and internship opportunities. I have continued as a freelance editor and have worked with applicants on undergraduate and post-graduate application essays who have gone on to Stanford, Tufts, medical school, art school, nurse practitioner program, and more. I offer constructive criticism on every aspect of an essay, from the grammar and syntax to content. Every piece of work is a piece of art, and the idea is to refine it to best reflect the writer's story in their most meaningful, poignant, and powerful voice so that the admissions counselors will read an essay they will remember. It's about truly and genuinely expressing one's own self in a way that stands true to the author.

Highly Recommend for High School Chemistry

Excellent communication when scheduling, prompt arrival, and friendly introductions. She jumped right in and provided clear explanations of the Chemistry topics. We're pleased to have found a tutor so knowledgeable and easy-to-work with. We highly recommend Shalini!

Great Teacher

Shalini has really been able to help me better understand AP Chemistry. She takes the time to walk me through the problems I might not understand and even provides me with additional practice problems to make sure I understand them. She is also great at making analogies which help explain the key concepts and principles of the unit. Overall, I would definitely recommend Shalini to a friend because I found her super helpful!

Great Tutor

Shalini has been tutoring may daughter in chemistry for a few weeks now and it is going well. She easily built a rapport with my daughter and with me as her mom. She is very flexible with her schedule which is so helpful as we are a busy family. She is also easily reachable by email or text and very responsive. Shalini provides my daughter with the additional practice she needs to really master the particular skill the class is working on which builds her confidence. Shalini is very patient and explains the information in simple terms which are easily understandable. She even took the time to extend her session with older my daughter to work with my younger son on his math which was an unplanned request. We look forward to continuing to work with Shalini.

Goes the extra mile!

Shalini has been tutoring my son in French for the past 8 months. She has helped him prepare for exams, create study routines to help him improve, and given lots of opportunity for practice. She has even followed up by assigning homework and sending extra assignments by email. When he gets his tests and quizzes back she thoroughly points out his success and helps him understand his errors. She is very reliable and there to answer any questions or concerns you have. She has been very helpful to my son.
