About Andrew
I currently work as a college admissions consultant, helping students gain acceptance to schools like Harvard, MIT, and Vanderbilt. Every day, I work with students and families to navigate one of the most high-stakes writing and communication challenges of their lives, whether that is through essay coaching, SAT prep, or one-on-one English tutoring. As far as my academic career goes, I graduated from Stanford University with a degree in English and American Studies and am currently pursuing an M.F.A. at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. During my time at Stanford, I completed funded filmmaking projects and interned at NBCUniversal, which deepened my understanding of storytelling, voice, and what makes writing truly land.

My teaching method for the SAT is process-based: students focus on understanding rather than memorizing answers. I work with each student to develop a tailored study plan centered on why they are getting specific concepts wrong and how to make sure they never miss that concept again. Rather than endlessly taking practice tests, I make sure a student fundamentally understands what they are getting wrong before we move on.
For literature and essay writing, I focus on critical thinking skills. Especially in the age of AI, what separates students is their ability to hold a position and defend it, even when everyone else disagrees. I teach students that readers are cautious but open, and I encourage them to speak their mind as we discover and rediscover the text together.

Before working with Andrew, I felt like I was guessing my way through the SAT. He pinpointed exactly where I was losing points and built a plan around that, which made the whole thing feel way more manageable. My score improved more than I expected — but honestly the bigger change was how confident I felt walking into the test. Highly recommend him.
I worked with Andrew to improve my writing and English skills, and the impact was immediate. Writing had always been a challenge for me, but he patiently broke down exactly what I was doing wrong and showed me how to fix it, not just for the assignment in front of me, but in how I approach writing altogether. He helped me think more critically, argue more clearly, and express my ideas with a lot more confidence. The skills he built with me have stuck well beyond our sessions together. If you're looking for a tutor, I can't recommend him enough.
