About Sloane

Bio

Confidence is key! I am currently at Johns Hopkins University studying Electrical Engineering. I have been teaching and tutoring for 6 years, from individually tutoring elementary school students to teaching group classes of 20+ high schoolers. Nothing makes me happier than seeing students get their 'aha!' moment, and if a student isn't feeling more confident when they leave, I haven't done my job!

Confidence is key! I am currently at Johns Hopkins University studying Electrical Engineering. I have been teaching and tutoring for 6 years, from individually tutoring elementary school students to teaching group classes of 20+ high schoolers. Nothing makes me happier than seeing students get their 'aha!' moment, and if a student isn't feeling more confident when they leave, I haven't done my job!

*Multiple of my students have been accepted to either all UC's (including UCLA, Berkley), Hopkins, NYU Stern, Michigan, USC, UT Austin (out of state).*

College Applications: As a student at Johns Hopkins, I have firsthand experience navigating the rigorous college admissions process, from polishing applications to T10 universities, to brainstorming supplemental essays, I help students build applications that STAND OUT. I meticulously edit essays before reviewing the feedback via virtual weekly meetings with the student. I emphasize strategic planning and revision techniques, maximizing applications and minimizing stress! If you have any questions, please message me!

Writing: I have years of experience tutoring AP Lit, AP Lang, and other writing courses, and understand how to take abstract ideas and condense them down into a format matches both the rubric and students' mindset.

One unique aspect of my tutoring is my emphasis on the soft skills needed to succeed in school, clubs, and beyond. I aim to help students gain more confidence in their communication and how they express their ideas. Please message me with any questions you may have!

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

I've spent 3+ years working with ACT problems, perfect scoring the writing section multiple times, and helping students improve their score as well. My excellent knowledge of English conventions, combined with my patient and understanding mindset helps students work through problems and gain a deeper understanding of the test.
College Counseling

College Counseling

As a student at Johns Hopkins University, ranked #6 nationally by U.S. News, I bring firsthand experience in navigating the highly competitive college admissions process, having applied to over 20 universities and written more than 45 essays. Additionally I was mentored by a top college consulting firm, where I learned invaluable strategies and proofreading techniques. Since then, I’ve worked to pass on these expert insights, helping students optimize their applications. I've guided seniors through strategic essay planning, writing, and reuse, reducing stress and making the process more efficient. My unique triaging approach has led students to success, with multiple acceptances to top-tier institutions (such as UC Berkeley, IU, and MIT), and helping them complete more apps overall to maximize the "yes!"s they receive. I specialize in personalized essay revision, proofreading, and crafting compelling narratives that highlight each student's unique strengths.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

With over six years of experience, I specialize in both college application essays and academic writing for English and humanities classes. I’ve guided students through over 45 college essays, helping them strategically plan, write, and revise across 20+ schools to reduce stress and highlight their authentic voice. I also tutor students in analytical and literary essays, helping them improve structure, clarity, and argumentation. Whether it’s a personal statement or a Shakespeare paper, I tailor my approach to build confidence and elevate each student’s writing.
Fiction Writing

Fiction Writing

I bring a strong foundation in both academic and creative writing, having excelled in AP English Language while mentoring students in writing for over two years. I specialize in helping students craft compelling narratives—whether for short stories, creative assignments, or personal expression. My strengths lie in developing voice, pacing, and structure, and I work closely with students to turn their ideas into polished, engaging stories. I focus not just on grammar and mechanics, but on storytelling—helping students build characters, set tone, and bring their writing to life.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have over three years of experience helping students craft standout personal statements for college, scholarships, and special programs. I’ve worked with students on over 45 essays across 20+ schools, helping them identify compelling themes, structure their narratives, and write authentically and strategically. My process includes brainstorming, outlining, and multiple rounds of revision to make sure each essay reflects the student’s unique voice and goals. I specialize in reducing stress and making the writing process more efficient—without sacrificing impact.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Uh oh... the dreaded precalc, well I am here to help!! I have over three years of experience tutoring math students, from foundational concepts to more advanced topics like logarithms, trigonometry, and polynomial functions. I focus on building intuition and confidence by breaking down complex problems into simple, approachable steps, and making sure each student understands the concepts from the ground up. My teaching style blends visual reasoning, real-world examples, and structured practice to help students excel both in class and on standardized tests. I’ve worked with high schoolers, college students, and those preparing for the SAT/ACT math sections.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I’ve been passionate about public speaking for years, and I love helping students feel confident and prepared. I've created and taught a Model United Nations class to over 30 students, where I focused on making public speaking less intimidating and more fun. I’ve also given multiple speeches to audiences of over 200 people and led workshops designed to boost students’ confidence and clarity when speaking in front of others. Whether it’s for a school presentation, Model UN/debate, or just practicing everyday communication, I’m here to help students develop the skills they need to speak confidently and effectively!

Extremely bright and proficient admissions counselor.

Sloane has helped take my daughter's college essay to the next level. Her ability to think both strategically and creatively and understanding of what admission counselors are looking for is unparalleled. We've met with other counselors, she is definitely one of a kind.
