Hello! My name is Mark, and I'm a recent Masters graduate of Cinema and Media Studies at USC. I am originally from Mission, Texas, and I completed my undergraduate degree in 2021 at Rice University, where I majored in Philosophy and Art. At Rice and USC, I developed a passion for the college experience while deepening my studies in media, art, and the philosophies that frame our everyday lives.
I want to help prospective college students write fantastic personal statements and essays that increase their chances of getting accepted into their dream schools. For the past two years, I have worked extensively with undergraduate students as a TA for multiple courses at USC. I led weekly discussion sections ranging between 6 and 25 students per section for USC's canonical "Intro to Cinema," graded hundreds of papers, and offered personal intellectual guidance to my students, ultimately helping them succeed in their courses. I love helping others realize their own potential, and I am excited to help you write with character, criticality, and a refined and genuine perspective upon your desire to pursue a higher education.
My pedagogy and tutoring method is very personal, customized, and approachable. We will work together to outline your academic goals and aspects about yourself that you would like to include in your applications and develop a writerly tone and strategy that will enable you to put your best foot forward during all stages of the college admissions process. I want to help you make your application stand out among hundreds (or even thousands) of other applicants, teaching you how to express yourself in terms that accentuate your unique experiences. Let me help you get accepted into your dream school!
Kindly,
Mark
