As a current undergraduate at Columbia University, where I rank in the top 1% of my class, I bring a strong academic foundation and insider perspective to helping high school students navigate academic subjects especially STEM and the college admissions process. My coursework and research experiences have honed my analytical and writing skills, particularly in quantitative fields, which inform my approach to crafting compelling applications, personal statements, and supplemental essays that stand out to selective admissions committees. I understand the nuances of what top-tier schools look for because I have successfully gone through the process myself and stay engaged with current trends in higher education admissions.
In addition to my studies, I work as a quantitative researcher, which has sharpened my ability to think strategically, break down complex problems, and communicate ideas clearly—skills that directly translate to guiding students in building strong application narratives, refining their extracurricular profiles, and developing essays that authentically reflect their unique strengths and experiences. While my formal tutoring experience is growing, I have provided one-on-one mentorship and feedback to peers and younger students on academic writing, research projects, and application strategies in informal and volunteer settings over the past couple of years. I typically work with high school juniors and seniors who are aiming for competitive colleges, and I tailor my sessions to be personalized, collaborative, and results-focused, often starting with a thorough review of the student's background before diving into brainstorming, drafting, and iterative editing.
