Patient and Knowledgeable Ivy League Tutor & College Advisor

Daniel A.

I am a highly experienced tutor with a strong academic background, having attended The Bronx High School of Science, one of the most competitive specialized high schools in New York City, and Cornell University, a prestigious Ivy League institution. My educational experience has given me deep familiarity with the practices, study skills, and strategies required to excel in the most rigorous academic environments, including scoring 5s on AP exams and mastering all core subject areas.

Since 2018, I’ve tutored students in a range of settings, including tutoring centers, volunteer roles, and informal one-on-one sessions with peers and family. I work with students ages 7 to 18 across English, essay writing, math, and science, and also offer highly tailored college admissions guidance. My services extend beyond standard support, I also specialize in essay coaching, thematic personal branding, and full application packaging with a focus on improving prospects for top 25 college admissions. These methods are grounded in both proven results and my own successful experience navigating elite admissions.

My tutoring philosophy is rooted in adaptability: I begin with a diagnostic conversation to understand each student’s learning style, whether visual, auditory, or question-based, and design customized lesson plans accordingly. I also offer testing tips and techniques that make complex material more accessible and easier to retain. I’ve worked with students of varying needs, including those with learning differences, and remain committed to delivering high quality, results-driven tutoring.
