  As a strategist, I work 1:1 with students from all over the world to craft their college applications to the US, UK, and Asia Pacific region through personalised roadmaps. As an app mentor, I support students in developing their college essays for the US and UK by brainstorming & offering 1:1 feedback. And as an academic tutor, I teach students in multiple GCSE and IB subjects, improving their conceptual understanding and helping them with assignments. In sum, I have conducted 200+ sessions with students from 20+ different countries. My students so far have received offers from Stanford, Northwestern, U-Chicago, UC Berkeley, UIUC, UC San Diego, UC Davis, and William & Mary in the US and McGill University in Canada. They have also received generous scholarships at Duke Kunshan University, NYU Shanghai, and Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in the Asia Pacific region. Show less
