Hello! My name is Yang!

I am currently a student at Cornell University, on track to earn a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Business. Working together with students, I offer tutoring across a wide variety of subjects, including SAT test prep, K-12 math and science, and college counseling.

Some things about me: I was accepted into other top universities, including University of Virginia and Emory, while also helping others get into highly selective colleges such as UC Berkeley and University of Pennsylvania. I scored a 1550 on the SAT (760 Math, 790 EBRW), co-authored two peer-reviewed research papers, and earned 4s and 5s across 13 AP exams, including Calculus BC, Biology, and English Literature.

I enter every lesson with one question in mind: How can I help the student improve in their areas of struggle? Every student is unique, and therefore requires a unique approach to help them reach their goals. For college counseling, it might be trying to find the story that truly represents yourself. For Algebra 1, it might be trying to understand the difference between radical and rational expressions. Whatever the case may be, my goal is simple: to help each student feel confident throughout what can be a stressful process and succeed.

College Counseling

College Counseling

Whether it be creating the perfect college list or writing an activities list that captures the attention of admissions officers, I've been through the process and understand what it takes to make an application stand out. Going through the admissions process myself, I've been admitted to multiple universities, including Cornell, University of Virginia, and Emory, and I've also helped others gain admission to elite institutions. I am excited to help you craft your very own personal narrative, and my extensive experience navigating college admissions has given me the abilities to help you along your journey in making a successful college application.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I've worked with high school seniors navigating their college applications, streamlining their thoughts into narratives that help them stand out in front of college admission officers. From word flow to content structure, every piece needs to come together to form a cohesive and impactful essay that brings the students' words to life on paper. I know this is a stressful journey, and my goal is to make sure you feel supported throughout the process.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I know how overwhelming the college application process can feel, especially when you are trying to turn years of experiences, activities, and goals into one strong essay. As a Cornell student who has gone through the admissions process myself, I understand how important it is to create an application that feels personal, organized, and genuine. I love helping students brainstorm meaningful story ideas, shape their essays into clear narratives, and make sure their own voice comes through. My goal is to make the process feel less stressful while helping each student build essays that truly reflect who they are.
SAT Math

SAT Math

Having taken the Digital SAT myself and earned a 760 on the Math section, I understand how frustrating it can be when a question looks much harder than it actually is. I enjoy helping students find the simpler path, whether that means learning a better Desmos strategy, fixing a recurring mistake, or looking at a problem from a different angle. I am patient and like to explain concepts in a way that matches how each student thinks instead of forcing everyone to use the same method. My goal is for students to feel more comfortable with SAT Math and walk into the test knowing they have a clear plan.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

Having earned a 790 on the SAT Reading and Writing section, I understand how subtle wording can make two answer choices seem equally convincing. I enjoy showing students how to slow down, identify what the question is truly asking, and recognize why tempting answers are wrong. Because I have taken the Digital SAT myself, I can also share practical strategies for managing the shorter passages and adapting to the test’s pacing. My goal is to make reading questions feel less intimidating while helping each student become a more confident and careful test-taker.
SAT Writing

SAT Writing

I earned a 790 on the SAT Reading and Writing section and became comfortable with the grammar patterns the Digital SAT tests again and again. I help students understand why a sentence works instead of asking them to memorize a long list of rules. I especially enjoy taking questions that initially feel vague or confusing and showing students how punctuation, sentence structure, and context point to the answer. My goal is to make SAT Writing feel straightforward and help students answer with confidence rather than second-guessing themselves.

Awesome turtoring on college essay and college consulation

Yang W. provided a great help to my son's college essay tutoring, college consultation. Initially my son struggled to start writing the essay, he didn't know where to start and made no progress at all for couple weeks before talking to Mr. Yang W. During first one hour lesson with Yang W., Mr. Yang W. patiently asked my son various activities and they brainstormed together to frame out the essay. With that, my son can start to write essay. It is really helpful. Other than that, Yang patiently answered all the questions after lessons through messages. I really appreciate his tutoring and help. It is really helpful! Thanks Mr. Yang W.

Excellent, well-prepared tutor

Yang was very prepared and led a clear, structured session. He quickly identified areas for improvement and offered thoughtful, practical strategies for how to address them. We found his insights very helpful and look forward to continuing to work with him.
