Blake’s College Qualifications

10+ people coached for College

Open to working with clients outside the U.S.

Blake has helped clients get into these schools:

I graduated from Harvard with the John Harvard Scholarship (top 5% GPA), a major in Integrative Biology, and a minor in Computer Science. I have over 6 years of experience working as a full-time tutor for the ACT, SAT, and SSAT. I have also worked as a college essay consultant for the past two years. I have worked with over ten clients by giving interviews and assisting with college essays. Out of the five clients I worked with during this admissions cycle, four received interviews at Harvard. On average, my students have enjoyed improvements of anywhere between 150-250 points on the SAT. I know how to teach the Writing sections so that you will receive a perfect score. Two of my students have increased their scores from 600-800 in this section, and most of my students end my program scoring perfectly on the writing section especially. My ACT tutoring prep follows similar statistics. In the two tutoring companies I have worked for in the past, I was promoted to the highest tutoring status. I tutor full-time, and I am ready to help you reach the score of your dreams.

Why do I coach?

Having graduated from an institution like Harvard, I'm acutely aware of the value and opportunities that an excellent education can offer. Yet, I also understand the pressures and challenges of preparing for competitive tests like the SAT and ACT. I believe my experiences and insights can help guide students through these challenges and demystify the process. Moreover, I also understand that standardized test coaching can be expensive, creating barriers for students from lower-income families. By offering my services altruistically, I hope to remove some of those financial barriers and contribute to educational equity. Finally, my coaching isn't just about test scores. I aim to help students cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, and perseverance—skills that are not just crucial for these tests but are lifelong assets. I find immense fulfillment in knowing that I am helping to shape the minds of the next generation, and potentially giving them the tools they need to succeed in their future endeavors.
