About Venus


Bio

I am a highly experienced writing and admissions tutor with a strong record of helping students get into top-choice undergraduate and graduate programs—often with major scholarship awards. My approach is grounded in storytelling, clarity, and strategy, shaped by my own success: I was accepted to 19 of 20 schools I applied to and received over $250,000 in scholarships. I went on to earn my Master of Health Administration from Dartmouth and am now completing my Doctorate at an R1 institution....

I am a highly experienced writing and admissions tutor with a strong record of helping students get into top-choice undergraduate and graduate programs—often with major scholarship awards. My approach is grounded in storytelling, clarity, and strategy, shaped by my own success: I was accepted to 19 of 20 schools I applied to and received over $250,000 in scholarships. I went on to earn my Master of Health Administration from Dartmouth and am now completing my Doctorate at an R1 institution. My academic journey began with a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy, completed in 2.5 years with multiple Dean’s List honors, where I discovered my passion for writing and helping students elevate their voice.

My tutoring experience spans several years across academic writing and presentations, personal statements, scholarship essays, and admissions preparation. I have guided students from middle school through graduate applicants and helped many transform their essays from uncertain drafts into confident, compelling narratives. My teaching style is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I work one-on-one to develop each student’s voice while strengthening structure and clarity. Whether you need support brainstorming ideas, refining essays, preparing competitive applications, or improving academic writing and presentation skills, I provide detailed feedback, coaching, and step-by-step guidance tailored to your goals.

Professionally, I completed a medical internship in London and courses at Cambridge University. I worked as a medical assistant in major hospitals and Public Health Departments, and have consulted with NGOs and Ministries of Health. I now work at an AI health-tech company emerging from Duke University. These experiences trained me to communicate complex ideas clearly, write with purpose, and support students exceed their goals. Above all, I am dedicated to helping each student succeed with confidence. I look forward to supporting your academic journey and helping you produce writing that truly stands out.

College Counseling

I have a wealth of experience in assisting students with their college admission journey, I specialize in helping craft compelling personal statements that truly stand out. Through my guidance, students have successfully completed personal statements that leave a lasting impression on admissions committees. Additionally, I am dedicated to supporting students throughout the entire Common App application process, ensuring they receive the necessary assistance for as long as needed. Thanks to my expertise, many students have secured scholarships and gained admission to their dream schools among the top institutions.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I am a doctoral-level professional with a Master of Health Administration from Dartmouth and extensive experience in public speaking across academic, nonprofit, and global health settings. I have served as a guest speaker at the Tuck School of Business, spoken on a global webinar for the Panzi Foundation, and delivered keynote-style talks for Women of Light and Femme de Valeur for International Women’s Day. I have also led strategic planning workshops with Ministries of Health and NGOs, guiding high-level discussions and facilitating clear, persuasive communication. My background in philosophy and years of mentoring sharpened my ability to coach students in confidence, clarity, and powerful message delivery for academic, professional, and personal speaking goals.

Transformed my writing in just ONE session!

Working with Venus has been incredible! After our first meeting, I immediately reached out to book 10 more hours because I knew she was exactly the kind of support I needed for my college applications. She helped me transform my ideas into powerful essays and pushed me to express myself in ways I never could on my own. Venus is patient, knowledgeable, and SO encouraging ! She made the entire process feel achievable instead of overwhelming. I can already see a huge difference in the quality of my writing and I’m genuinely excited for the rest of our sessions. If you’re applying to college or grad school, you NEED her!
