I specialize in helping college and medical school applicants craft a narrative that maximizes their admissions potential! I just graduated from Harvard, and went through the medical school admissions process this year - gaining acceptance to 15+ top schools including Harvard, UCSF, Hopkins, Yale, and Columbia. I'm also an experienced tutor with a passion for helping students succeed and accomplish their goals - whether that be through essay review, interview prep, SAT Math help, or overall strategy admissions consulting.

As a student myself, I studied admissions processes and presented my story in a way that highlighted my strengths and those factors that set me apart. I really enjoy helping other students do the same! When I applied to college, I was admitted to all the schools I applied to - including Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and Brown PLME - and have helped other students achieve similar results.

As a perfect-scorer in the SAT Math, I saw my own score go up over 150 points and have helped other students achieve their goal scores. Getting to know the SAT Math section and is key to doing well, and I feel comfortable providing thorough explanations and sharing tips and tricks.

Having been born and raised in Puerto Rico, Spanish is my native language, so I am also available to provide language tutoring. I'm available to tutor lower grade levels as well, and have vast experience with younger children. I strive to be accommodating and flexible to ensure students have the best possible experience.

College Counseling

As a student myself, I thoroughly studied the college admissions process and learned how to maximize my potential. I was admitted to every single school I applied to, including Ivy Leagues and other Top 20 institutions. I also received prestigious scholarships and awards such as the National Merit Scholarship and the US Presidential Scholar recognition, which awards the 161 highest-achieving graduating high school students. I would love to help other students navigate this complex process and tailor their applications to suit who they are.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I got accepted to 15+ medical schools after graduating from Harvard and have assisted many students with their personal statements, from brainstorming ideas to fine-tuning language in the last few revisions. I just went through the medical school application process last year and am familiar with the most recent requirements, trends, and guidance around essay writing for medical school and college admissions.

Amazing experience!

We met frequently to work on my supplemental essays in the past two weeks. Honestly, I had other tutors on Wyzant too, but Harold's edits were the best. As he got accepted to all the top schools he applied to, he knows what each school wants and edits the essays according to each school's profile. I wish I had met him earlier on my college application journey.

Great Session!

Both of my kids had a great test prep session with Harold! He was knowledgeable and gave practical, insightful tips that they can use immediately. We also liked how Harold got right to the point and moved at pace comfortable for both of my kids through all sections of the test. One hour is limiting so I appreciated how he stayed focused and strong while carrying my kids along with him. Thank you, Harold!

Diligent and effective tutor

He greatly improved my practice test scores and pinpointed the areas that I needed the most help in. He was very kind but thorough when it came to correcting my tests, and it was an overall comfortable and productive experience.

Great tutor. Really Insightful!

Harold P. really helped me structure and produce the best version of my two college supplements. Felt like I was able to learn about about writing in general and how to edit future papers. It was a pleasure meeting him as I plan to work with I him in the future !
