Highly experienced, and creative college coach

His process made it so that after seeing a few iterations, my son can replicate it himself. With his help, my son ended up getting into a school that i thought was out of his reach.

I have helped hundreds of students write successful application essays to top colleges, medical schools, nursing schools, graduate schools, and business schools. I also provide application counseling and coach public speaking for application interviews.
My approach empowers students to speak in their own unique voice. We don’t look at “successful” application essays because that would be like imitating a fingerprint. We do spend time brainstorming. We do spend time drawing out an engaging...

Helped Me Achieve My Dream!
Alan helped me tremendously with my confidence and how to present myself as my best self for my medical school interviews. Not only did he help me with the content of my answers to important interview questions, but he also helped improve my presence- guiding me to realize when I was dragging on and losing the interviewer's attention or sounding unsure of myself. I would recommend Alan to anyone preparing for any interview- he helped me achieve my dream of attending medical school this fall!

Direct and efficient, with a strategic approach to creative writing!
Alan asks the right questions to uncover exciting themes and then executes a strategic plan to allow students to put pen to paper more easily. He couldn't be more professional and encouraging, and I have complete faith that the end result will be both engaging and represent those topics that best reflect my personality and life story!

Dedicated and Knowledgable
Alan helped my daughter with her college application process through the Christmas and New Year break. My daughter is normally well organized and finishes projects way before the deadlines. However, she got deferred by her dream school, and it took her a few days to get over it. By the time she decided to apply for a couple more schools for regular decision, it was just days before the deadlines. Alan worked through Christmas and New Year with her, and helped her with the process . I truly appreciate it, and will definitely recommend him.

knowledgeable and patient tutor
Alan Helped my daughter's application for a school project including essays and interview. He is very experienced tutor. He provided a list of questions to have my daughter prepare the answers. And the final essays are based on the answers. The essay got selected(her school is a great school and the selecting process is a very competitive process). My daughter got into the next round: interview. For interview, he helped prepare the list of questions. It turned out that all interview questions were covered by his list, that is amazing! I highly recommend him. We plan to have him help my daughter's college application as well.

Very friendly and professional tutor
I've been working on my transfer essays before the tutoring session, and after a few weeks, there has been an incredible improvement in quality, analysis, and ideas. He provides excellent tools for college research by following specific steps and brainstorming ideas together. He is worth the time and money, end of discussion.

Very Knowledgeable and Attentive
Alan was great for leading a small group of people through remote sessions, working on content, delivery, and performance with public speaking. He was direct in feedback and held people accountable to ensure they were making progress in the exercises. Alan was also very proactive about seeking feedback and tailoring his approach to the needs of the group. Would definitely book again for future services!

The experience of writing the common app essay with Mr. Alan
It was great all along. Mr. Alan could go through everything necessary to get started in a single class, which is very nice. His teaching method and content are unique and will benefit one in the long run. Overall I obtained what I looked for, and I'm very satisfied.
