US University Admissions Prep: SAT tutoring, essay writing, interviewing

Van 56.03 $ /h

I specialize in tutoring and consulting related to the US university admissions process. This includes SAT and SAT II prep, essay writing, interviewing tips, and helping you create a compelling narrative to send to US universities. I was admitted into Harvard, Yale, MIT, Dartmouth, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and a few others, and have been tutoring people of all ages.

I know this process can be daunting, but I truly believe every student has a unique and amazing story to share. I am committed to helping the applicant shine in all areas of the admissions process, and to help them feel more at ease during it.

Over

Hello! I'm Danielle - a software engineer at Uber by day, and teacher by night. I love empowering people through teaching - I mainly teach coding, and give university admissions advice. The mentors along my journey were some of the most influential factors in how I got to where I am today. I hope to give back the mentorship, encouragement, and wise words that I received and spread my love of learning.

I am currently in the final year of my bachelor at the University of Amsterdam, and am originally from London, UK.

I specialise in helping students improve their formal English language skills, which can be used for essay writing, CV/Resume writing and motivation letters. Furthermore, I also help students improve their business english and help to build up confidence in their professional environment.

Additionally, I am able to help students with English Language and English Literature GCSE or high school level English.

During my studies in Econometrics at the University of Amsterdam (graduated in 2015, MSc.) and in addition to my job as a consultant, I have always taught mathematics and statistics to secondary school students and university students (HBO and WO) with great pleasure. Since 2017 I have assisted students from different study backgrounds (from civil engineering to psychology) with writing their thesis and since 2022 I work parttime as a math teacher and educational advisor in the Emma Children's Hospital in Amsterdam and I teach private students.

Lessons can be taught in English or Dutch and face-to-face or online, depending on the location.

Location face-to-face classes: Citizen M Amsterdam, at your home or in the public library.

Have you been invited to interview at Oxford or Cambridge this coming autumn? Congratulations!

Oxbridge interviews are the make-or-break stage in acceptance into one of these two top-tier universities, and they require a significant amount of preparation and know-how in order to succeed.

Having successfully secured a place for myself to study English Language & Literature at the University of Oxford in 2015, and having been subsequently invited to pursue a Master's degree in English literature on scholarship, I am versed in the intricacies and expectations of the interview process for a range of disciplines.

I work with students across a series of sessions to hone their understanding of what's expected of them during the interview process, to identify their particular strengths and improve on their weakness, and to practice extemporaneous speaking and timed essay-writing and test-taking.

Each course is designed with the candidate in mind, and I can outline a recommended number of sessions and their contents based on an initial session.

I offer comprehensive support to professionals, companies, schools, universities, and research institutions in providing math classes. Additionally, I can assist in developing customized math training programs for your employees or creating applications tailored to your specific needs.

For the development of training programs or applications, a separate fee structure will be applied. However, for math classes, an hourly fee per person will be implemented.

One of the unique aspects of my training is its suitability for professional applications. Whether it's the valuation of financial assets/instruments, applied math for risk assessments, or forecast modeling, my expertise can effectively address these areas.

I am committed to delivering high-quality math education and services to help you achieve your goals. Feel free to reach out to discuss your specific requirements and explore how I can support you in enhancing your mathematical skills and applications.

Hey! My name is Yasmin, I was born in Denmark, mainly raised in the Netherlands, but moved more than 14 times to different countries and cities. I have always attended an international school and received my Bachelor's degree in English & Pre-Law from the University of California Santa Barbara last summer. I have decided to continue my studies and am currently studying international & European law.
I provide English tutoring where we can focus together on whatever you need, such as: writing, speaking, writing essays and creative writing. I can also help with homework or help with public speaking and giving presentations in English, of course. It is important to me that you receive enough help so that you can continue with full self-confidence.

In addition, I am also there for children whose parents want them to be able to master the English language. I do this by having fun and educational conversations with the child.

Hopefully see you soon!

Are you in your graduation phase? Is it sometimes too much for you? And would you like to look at your piece together with an expert?

Hey!

I am Elias. Lecturer at the Applied Psychology course at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences.

My expertise lies in supervising students in their graduation phase. I help monitor the overview of the time schedule. I give feedback on thesis parts. And I mainly help you to obtain a logical story in your thesis research. Your story!

How it works:
- send me your piece before our appointment
- also send the guidelines that your assignment must comply with
- indicate where your learning needs lie. What do you need help with?

During the session:
- we look at your learning needs, planning and there is room for questions
- Get your feedback and feedforward. Then you know where you stand and where you can make improvements.
- at the end you have the choice to make an incidental follow-up appointment or to coordinate a follow-up process.

Like no other, I know how difficult it can be to structure a research or project in a short time. You want to distinguish main issues from side issues and be in the final report to-the-point in communicating the results.

From MBO level 2 I went on to a doctorate in astrophysics at the University of Amsterdam. During this path, I have written hundreds of reports, published 6 scientific articles and presented my findings hundreds of times both informally and formally.

In addition, I have been a successful thesis supervisor of 3 bachelor students and 1 master's student.

I would like to help you get the best out of yourself with the help of my knowledge and experience. However, I do not want to do this with a leadership mentality, but from an advisory mentality in which we can put together as equals a nice end product that we both support. I can offer concrete support for your research/project in:

- Setup and planning

- Doing literature study

- Quality assurance

- Presentation and structure/content

- Popularizing the topics with catchy texts

- Review with a critical look

- Give layout and design input

- And much more

Do you think I can help you or do you want to know more? I would love to hear from you!
