About Noah


Bio

Hi!

Hi!
I am a recent graduate of Williams College. I adore tutoring, and my sessions are fun, positive spaces. I’ve been teaching and tutoring for almost 8 years, so I’ve got the experience to help you out! I tutor any kind of writing, with a focus on admissions advising.

COLLEGE ADVISING
As a college advisor, I know that you are unique, which affects how you write and the story you will tell college admissions. That’s why I get to know you and tailor my approach. I am passionate, supportive, and clear.

In addition to Williams, I was accepted at Middlebury, Bowdoin, and Wesleyan. I am an expert in NESCAC and Ivy League Admissions, with dozens of students advised. I know from experience exactly what tone is required for admission to top schools, and I also know the pitfalls so many students fall into with their college essays. Applying to these competitive schools requires a level of depth that regular admissions does not. My past students have received Fulbright grants and admission to USC and Boston College.

AP LIT and AP LANG
After adoring these classes in high school, I love helping students by giving strategies to write and answer questions about a text. I can identify what you’re good at, where you need practice, and give you that practice.

MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL READING COMPREHENSION AND ELA
I have spent the last year tutoring middle schoolers (70+ hours) on how to improve their grammar, better understand readings, and write more clearly. I want to set you or your child up for success in high school, so I teach good foundations. Middle schoolers generally describe me as “skibidi sigma,” which I believe is a 5-star recommendation.

But I am not a list of qualifications; first and foremost, I pride myself on my teaching! I am looking forward to meeting you,
-Noah

p.s. I grew up speaking French, so if you want conversation practice, it would be a pleasure to help!

College Counseling

College Counseling

My college admissions tutoring comes primarily from having worked as a part-time admissions reader last winter for Williams College. Since then, I have met with about a dozen students to consult on their college essays and other application materials (on another tutoring platform). I think I have a good sense of how to improve students writing, and I am able to help my students craft a story throughout the whole application that is unique and compelling.

Exceptional Tutor for Writing (Mine was for Common App Essay)

Noah is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient tutor who provided invaluable guidance on my Common App college essay. His expertise in crafting compelling narratives made a significant difference, and his feedback was always thoughtful and encouraging. I couldn't have asked for a better tutor—Noah is truly the best!
