Hi there - I’m Hassan, a college admissions and academic writing coach with 10+ years of experience empowering students to tell their best story and unlock their full potential!
What I offer:
• Applying to college, grad school, law school, or med school? I can support you with brainstorming, structuring, editing, and polishing your application essays! I'll also strategize with you on how to weave your academics and extracurriculars into a single cohesive narrative. (Here are some of the top-ranking institutions I've helped students get into: Yale, Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, Columbia, Cornell, UPenn, Georgia Tech, UC Davis, USC, UT Austin, U Michigan, RISD, SAIC, Pratt and CalArts!)
• Currently in high school and want to get ahead of the game by participating in summer enrichment programs and competitions to boost your future college applications? I’ve helped students land opportunities such as the prestigious UCSB Summer Research Academies and Stanford’s China Scholars Program!
My experience includes teaching courses in writing as a faculty at two international colleges. Along the way, I've learned the value of iterative learning: engaging in a continuous virtuous cycle of feedback and multiple drafts that allows students to cultivate their own inner reflective voice as independent writers.

**Testimonials from my students**
“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Hassan for four months during my daughter’s college application journey, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Navigating the daunting process of writing a personal statement & supplemental essays for 20+ schools—including top choices like Stanford, MIT, Yale, Columbia, Berkeley, University of Michigan, Georgia Tech, & UVA—felt completely overwhelming at first. But Hassan made the impossible feel manageable. What truly sets Hassan apart is not just his deep expertise in the college admissions process, but his unwavering kindness, flexibility, and genuine care for his students. He took the time to really get to know my daughter—not just her accomplishments, but who she is as a person. His thoughtful guidance helped her find her authentic voice and craft essays that were both powerful and personal. Hassan went above and beyond in every possible way. He was incredibly flexible with scheduling, mindful of deadlines, and always quick to respond with detailed feedback and encouragement. He even personally reached out to an admissions office about a specific program he believed was a great fit for my daughter—something we never expected from a college essay counselor. That level of dedication speaks volumes about who he is. Thanks to his support, my daughter was admitted to nearly all of her top choices. We are deeply grateful for Hassan’s expertise and warmth throughout this process. He is a rare gem in the world of college admissions counseling, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any family looking for thoughtful, top-tier support.” - Jinhee, daughter got into MIT Class of 2029
“Hassan helped guide me in developing my college application, artistic portfolio, and resume. Using his services, I was admitted into the college of my dreams.” - Enoc, got into UT Austin Class of 2029
“I worked with Hassan for the past 7 months on college essays, academic papers, and personal writing. Since our first meeting, Hassan has been flawless at catching punctuation, spelling, and structural mistakes. At the same time, he provided me with—for lack of a better word—exceptional one-to-one feedback and taught me how to spot and avoid mistakes—such expertise is hard to put into words. Hassan was patient, insightful, and supportive. As I am writing this, I am rewinding to the first time we met, where I was having trouble embodying my tone into text and coming up with ways to lower the word count. As soon as we jumped on the call, he knew exactly what to do and how; we ended up getting all my writing problems dealt with. Moreover, his feedback was clear, detailed, concise, and precise; he answered every question I had with simplicity and made me feel heard and confident about my writing. I genuinely recommend Hassan to anyone who needs help turning their ideas into reality. Hassan, thank you very much. I cannot express how thankful I am to have met you and the knowledge you have empowered me with.” -Ryan, got into Maastricht University Class of 2029
“I asked Hassan to work with my child on his college essays for 5 months. These are my experiences with Hassan as a parent. As a person Hassan is flexible, supportive, kind, extremely patient, and easy to communicate. As a teacher he knows what needs to be done at the first lesson and is knowledgeable. Before the lessons started my child was struggling to write the essays and kept saying, ‘I don’t know. I’m not sure.’ After the first lesson my child said to me, ‘I got this.’ That is all I needed to hear. I did not have to know how the lesson went. As the lessons progressed my child said to me, ‘I didn’t know I could use words like that and make phrases like that. It sounds so much better!’ He looked so confident. I believe that Hassan taught my child how to write not only for college applications but also for my child's future, for life. Hassan is so good at what he does, and I genuinely recommend him to anyone. My child will be attending his dream college this coming fall. Hassan, thank you so much for your help and support. I cannot express how thankful we are, and you have no idea how much we appreciate it.” -Hydra, son got into Rhode Island School of Design Class of 2029
