What's your plan for college admissions?
The college essay matters more now than ever, and the essays my students have written have gotten them into Princeton, Stanford, Brown, Cornell, and Duke, as well as UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Barbara.
What Makes East Bay College Prep Different
College Essay Prep
Utilizes both creative writing strategies and a keen understanding of what colleges are looking for in essays to create the best possible essay.
College Counseling
College counseling that seeks to understand not only how to make the student competitive, but how to find the school that will best appreciate the student.
SAT/ACT Prep
SAT/ACT prep that zeroes in on what the student doesn’t understand, and doesn’t waste time on what she does.
AP Prep
Plan for both getting your best grade in the class and your best score on the test.
GPA Management
End the semester with a completely different approach to your studying, and a completely different GPA than you expected.
Essay Writing
Learn how to deliver what the teacher wants—even when you’re on a deadline, timed, or confused about the prompt.
Test prep is stressful. Finding the right tutor is honestly almost as stressful and confusing. We started with another tutor who claimed she knew what she was doing but after staying on with her for a month, it was clear she wasn't the right fit and added no value. Somehow, we found Catherine and after just one session it was like a huge weight was lifted off our shoulders. Everything felt right with her. She checks all the boxes- she is smart, organized, has a tutoring plan and knows how to guide students to achieve their best. To top it all off, she is a lovely person you can trust with your student. I highly recommend her!
