College Counseling

I am a Yale graduate and current medical student with experience mentoring high school students through the college application process. I help students identify strong personal themes, craft compelling and authentic essays, and build strategic application plans tailored to their goals. My background in both the sciences and humanities allows me to support students across a wide range of academic interests. I focus on clarity, confidence, and helping each student present their strongest, most genuine story.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have a strong academic foundation in both the humanities and the sciences as a Yale English major and a current medical student at a top 10 medical school. I taught English for one year, working with students to build reading comprehension, writing skills, and confidence with schoolwork. I support elementary students with foundational literacy, study habits, and organization, tailoring lessons to each child’s pace and learning style. My focus is on clarity, consistency, and helping students build skills they can use independently.

Essay Writing

studied English at Yale, where I developed strong skills in writing, editing, and narrative development. I help students craft compelling, authentic college essays that highlight their voice and strengths. My approach emphasizes clarity, structure, and storytelling, guiding students through brainstorming, drafting, and polishing. I aim to make the writing process supportive, confidence-building, and productive.

Executive Functioning

I studied English at Yale and am now a medical student at Washington University, where strong organization, time management, and study strategy are essential to success. I aim to help students feel more confident, structured, and in control of their learning by recommending systems that have worked for myself and peers and tailoring strategies for the student.

MCAT

I am a medical student and Yale graduate with a strong academic foundation in both the sciences and the humanities. I scored a 521 on the MCAT, reflecting deep mastery of high-school and college-level science concepts. I have extensive experience tutoring students in biology, chemistry, writing, and general academic skills. My approach focuses on clarity, confidence-building, and giving students the tools they need to think effectively and perform well under pressure.
