Bowdoin College - BA Gov. & Legal Stud.

Growing up as a faculty child at Phillips Exeter Academy and later attending the school as a student, I know firsthand what the boarding school experience is all about. Now, working as an Assistant Director of Admission at Noble and Greenough School, I know what a strong application looks like and what it takes to be accepted to private schools. I’m excited to work with families to help them navigate this process and to set them up for success.

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I've spent years advising families on private school applications. One primary aspect I assist with is school discovery, helping families find the right fit. Once a school is identified, we dive into interview preparation.

I provide guidance on how to present oneself and answer potential questions. Additionally, I offer expertise in essay writing. This involves brainstorming ideas, structuring them effectively, and fine-tuning the content. Beyond that, I support families in completing the application in its entirety.

I also have a special focus on athletic and performing arts recruitment. I help students highlight their talents and make a lasting impression. My goal is to ensure a smooth and successful application process for every family.

Tutoring Approach

My philosophy centers around understanding each individual's unique journey. I believe in meeting every student and family exactly where they stand in the process. It's essential to recognize and honor their current position and feelings.

From there, I aim to guide them towards a path of self-discovery. This journey helps them to recognize their strengths, passions, and areas for growth. Goal development becomes a natural next step, where aspirations take shape. We collaboratively create achievable targets.

The process isn't just about reaching a destination; it's about cultivating excitement along the way. Ultimately, my mission is to inspire enthusiasm, direction, and a sense of purpose in every student and family I work with.
