Richard
I am a first-year student at Harvard University, concentrating in Neurobiology on the pre-med track. I have experience tutoring high school students from freshmen to seniors. I also have experience tutoring middle school students. When I was a senior in high school, I tutored juniors and seniors that struggled to understand AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, and AP Biology as I had taken all those courses in my junior year and received A's in all of them. The students that I tutored understood the material soon after, and their grades reflected that. I also took 4 years of Spanish in high school, including AP Spanish, receiving A's at every level. I continue my Spanish studies at Harvard. Overall, I love helping students learn subjects that they struggle with and am able to do it in a way that allows them to enjoy learning the material.

Mariia
Hello! My name is Mariia, and I am a rising junior at Harvard College studying Economics with a secondary in Theatre, Dance, and Media. As an international student from Ukraine, I have personally experienced the application process to U.S.-based universities and understand its hidden hurdles. Despite its complexity, I am passionate about helping students enjoy this process as much as possible by tutoring, specifically SAT and IELTS, as well as essay writing and general college consulting. Considering English isn't my native language, and I was still able to achieve an SAT score of 1570 and an IELTS score of 8.0, I firmly believe an improved score depends not just on usual topics such as vocabulary and time management but on understanding the core logic behind each exam. Learning the objectives behind each type of question is the approach I teach my students because it allows them to work through problems comfortably while still finding the correct answer to each question.
As a tutor, I have successfully guided students through university applications, securing grants from top institutions like Harvard, Dartmouth, and Brown. Regarding college admissions, I teach my students how to stand out and transform their seemingly ordinary pursuits into prominent characteristics noticed by admission officers.
Whether you need test preparation, essay editing, or college advice, I look forward to helping you reach your full potential!

Stephen
Hello!
I'm a sophomore at Harvard studying neuroscience, and I'm also pre-med.
I've been tutoring since I was a sophomore in high school, and have helped people study for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE, and various AP exams. I also really enjoy working with people to build a more solid foundation in English, math, and science. Over time, I've built up a lot of different strategies for different ways to approach learning and reviewing materials, and my goal is always to make learning as easy and enjoyable as possible for everyone.
Numbers aren't everything, but if you're looking to study for a standardized test, I've done quite a few. I got a 5 on 11 AP exams (including Biology, Chemistry, Physics 1 and 2, and Calc AB/BC) and a 7 on IB Spanish, and my SAT score was a 1590.
Jiajia

Ryan
Hi!
I'm Ryan Rhee, a Harvard student studying Sociology and Economics. I grew up attending international schools across China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, so I understand the unique challenges of applying to college from highly competitive environments and the pressure throughout the whole application process from the SAT to college essays.
I specialize in SAT prep and college counseling and want to make the process as streamlined and stress-free as possible. I've gone to rote SAT camps in Korea and know the struggle of learning material that seems pointless and inapplicable to the SAT. I focus on teaching effective strategies through a more hands-on and student-centered approach and have raised scores by 200+ points in just 5 hours. On the college counseling side, I've seen many of my friends pay thousands of dollars for college counselors that aren't truly invested in their students and that fail to convincingly sell their students to colleges. I believe the number one goal for a college counselor is to be invested in their students' lives and craft stories that are unique and attractive to colleges. My approach has helped many students craft compelling applications that stand out beyond the thousands of numbers in an application cycle and get into their dream schools.
I've taught through many programs within Harvard and outside of Harvard and am willing to help you out!
Please feel free to reach out!
