Certified Tutor

In 2014, I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in English at just 19 years old. The following year, I was admitted to a prestigious English graduate program at UCLA, where I earned my Master's degree. For over eight years, I have been dedicated to helping students excel academically and gain admission to the nation's most prestigious universities.

As an English teacher at an elite all-boys prep school in Chicago, I have guided over 100 students in crafting compelling college application essays, resulting in acceptances to institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UCLA, Notre Dame, Hillsdale, and the University of Michigan. With over five years of experience teaching AP English Language & Composition as well as AP English Literature & Composition, my students consistently achieve an average score of over "4" on national exams year after year.

As a College Board-certified "National AP Scholar" who has passed 11 AP exams and as the recipient of multiple departmental teaching awards at UCLA, I bring a wealth of expertise to every student I work with. My mission is to help students unlock their full potential and thrive in today's competitive college admissions landscape by providing expert guidance, personalized strategies, and dedicated support.

Whether your child needs help mastering essay writing, preparing for ACT/SAT/AP exams, or standing out in their college applications, I offer tailored strategies that deliver measurable results.
