College Application and Test Prep Consultant

Nicole S.

I am a college application and test prep consultant ready to guide you through whatever you need in your application process! I genuinely love working with students who are figuring out who they are and where they want to go. That intersection of academics and self discovery is where I do my best work.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Public Policy and Economics from the University of Chicago, where I developed a strong foundation in analytical thinking, research, and writing that I bring directly into my tutoring practice.

I have over five years of experience working one on one with high school students ages 14 to 18 on SAT and ACT preparation, college admissions coaching, essay development, and math support from algebra through pre-calculus. I have coached 50+ students through the college admissions process, with notable placements at Georgetown University and George Washington University among other competitive programs.

My approach is highly personalized. I begin by assessing each student's strengths, gaps, and goals before building a structured plan tailored to their timeline and learning style. For test prep, I focus on strategy and pattern recognition alongside content review. For admissions coaching, I help students identify their narrative, develop compelling essays, and build a balanced and thoughtful college list.

I work exclusively online, which allows me to be flexible with scheduling and accessible to students across time zones. Whether your student needs focused SAT and ACT prep, help crafting their personal statement, or support building confidence in math, I bring patience, structure, and genuine investment in their success.
