Highschool, College, and Grad Admissions Coaching
​
Getting into your dream school requires more than good grades—it takes strategy, storytelling, and preparation. As an elite admissions counselor, I guide students through every step of the process, helping them create compelling applications that stand out.
Comprehensive Support Includes:
-
Developing a balanced school list

Crafting impactful essays and resumes

Preparing for interviews

Studying for standardized tests (with typical score improvements of 200+ points)

Architecture Coaching
​
For students applying to high school, undergraduate, or graduate architecture programs, I provide specialized support in developing portfolios, refining projects, and preparing applications. With an M.Arch from Columbia GSAPP and experience at a top NYC design firm, I’ve guided students to Ivy-League admissions by focusing on concept development, presentation, and design skills.
Whether you’re applying to college, graduate school, or a specialized program, I’ll help you craft an application that highlights your unique story and strengths.

"We are so lucky to have picked Mike to work with my daughter, a junior in high school. Mike is not just a tutor; he is an academic coach well verse across many subjects providing content knowledge and skills while empowering students with techniques and different ways of thinking to problem solve. Mike has been working with my daughter on SAT prep and putting together a robust architecture college application so that she is ready for early actions this fall. She has learned so much from meeting with him weekly, and some advice has been priceless. We highly recommend Mike for essay writing, editing, math, architecture portfolio, exam-taking skills and tips, and college applications. Any subject you need Mike will be your student's superstar tutor."
