12th Grade
The college application process is a long and time-intensive process to go through and can be overwhelming for even the best students. I will set 12th graders up for success and guide you step-by-step through the process by:
Creating a detailed action plan with deadlines to tackle essays and finish applications methodically
Holding weekly meetings for essay feedback and to ensure accountability
Proofreading and commenting on multiple drafts of every essay
Gathering the necessary information needed for each college application
In addition, I will take students through the college scholarship process by:
Giving specific recommendations for scholarships to apply to based on their interests, identity, academics, etc.
Making an action plan to finish and apply for different scholarships
Providing feedback on their scholarship applications and essays
Services available individually: essay editing, resume creation, college application help only, scholarship application help only
11th Grade
In the last full year before college applications begin, I will set students to reach their fullest potential and make the most of junior year by:
Giving recommendations on how to optimize their extracurricular and leadership activities, based on their interests and strengths
Developing a timeline and plan to study for the SAT, ACT, AP tests, etc
Creating short- and long-term goals for the year (based on academics, interests, etc) and making tailored plans to reach them
Recommending techniques and actions to tackle their studies or personal weaknesses holding them back
Helping them research different colleges and programs best suited to their academics, interests, etc. so they are well equipped for senior year
Holding regularly scheduled meetings to ensure accountability and provide any other advice needed
Inquire for private SAT/ACT tutoring, offered separately from mentoring.
10th Grade
As underclassmen, it might seem like there is little to do in terms of college application preparation until junior or senior year. However, one can set themselves up for success during their upperclassmen years by preparing well during the beginning of high school. I will help sophomores reach their fullest potential by:
Surveying their strengths, weaknesses, and interests to provide specific recommendations for extracurriculars to get involved in
Creating short- and long-term goals for their academics and/or extracurriculars and making a plan to achieve them
Recommending classes based on their academic achievement and interests
Providing study techniques to help them succeed in their classes
Researching summer activities to build upon their interests and portfolio
Holding regularly scheduled meetings to give advice and hold them accountable
