I have been tutoring personal statements and essays for years, helping students craft compelling narratives that showcase their unique voice and goals. I scored a perfect 6/6 on the GRE Analytical Writing section, placing me in the top 2% of test takers, and have helped students achieve similar dramatic improvements—including a student who improved from 2/6 to 5/6 on her GRE Analytical Writing score. I received praise for my writing ability from professors throughout my graduate programs in Engineering and Computer Science, and my deep familiarity with the entire admissions process allows me to guide students in creating essays that align strategically with their overall application narrative. I specialize in helping students move beyond generic essays to develop authentic, standout personal statements that admissions officers remember.

Highly skilled and supportive tutor everyone needs!

Having Justin as my tutor was one of the best decisions I made for preparing for the GRE. I was very overwhelmed by the GRE essay before I first met Justin, but through his lessons I was able to take the exam with high confidence. I am happy to say that I got the score I wanted, thanks to Justin! Justin ensured that each lesson was tailored to my needs and goals while also providing structure, so that I didn't miss the things that I needed to learn. I could really feel that he genuinely cared for my success, and his expertise and flexibility in teaching always left me with feeling happy with my progress. I strongly recommend working with Justin!

Great tutor and extremely thorough!

Justin helped me with GRE verbal as I am applying for graduate school. Though I only had a couple of sessions with him, he gave me a wealth of study habits and knowledge to help me tackle problems easier. High recommend!

Highly Recommend! Structured & Personalized

I felt so overwhelmed when I first began studying for the GRE. Justin’s systematic approach to the exam, resources, and shared strategies helped me form a study plan where I am already seeing tangible progress. He came extremely prepared but still provided space in the dialogue for my concerns and took the time to really understand my weak points. I look foward to continuing my sessions with Justin, I would highly reccomend!

Knowledgeable Tutor

Mr. Justin taught my son strategies for reading passages, whether it may be analyzing the passage and learning to answer questions faster. Mr. Justin’s test tips have also helped him to be more aware of his timing during testing.

Knowledgeable and Highly Effective!

I worked with Justin on the GRE writing section. His knowledge of the smallest of details on the exam really made me feel like I understood the exam better myself. I always like teachers who are very thorough and are willing to critique my work in a way that sets me up for success. Justin did this fantastically. By the end of the session, I knew point-by-point exactly what I needed to do to improve. The path forward was very clear. Definitely recommend!

SAT test prep.

Justin was a great tutor. He is very knowledgeable of the test and was well prepared. He had a wonderful diagnostic exam, which mirrored the test. He was very timely in his communications.
