I am an expert in NESCAC and Ivy League Admissions, with over 40 students advised. I know from experience 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, University of Chicago, NYU, and Boston College.

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

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.

Great feedback on my grad school essays

Noah is incredibly helpful and wonderful to work with. He is helping me write graduate school essays and is so good at it and a delightful person. I highly recommend him to anyone who is lucky enough to be paired with him.

Best College Essay Tutor Ever

Noah worked with me on my college essays, including the ones that got me into UChicago — the #6-ranked school in the country at the time of this review. The process was both enjoyable and incredibly productive. He has a real talent for understanding what you're trying to say and helping you say it more clearly and powerfully. Noah will never change your voice — he'll simply help it develop. I highly recommend him to any student looking to significantly improve their writing, analysis, or language skills.

Perfect for college essay input

Noah gave guidance and helped me polish my college essays, including my Common App Essay and my various supplemental and honors college essays. He is truly an expert in making essays speak about you, and to make your uniqueness shine. He made a significant positive difference in my writing, but not in a way that felt like he was taking over. I still saw my voice reflected in my essays, which is very important for college admissions. Currently as of now (though subject to change), I have gotten into all of the colleges I applied to, and Noah was a big help towards that.

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!
