About

In this series we will go over all parts of the application process, from choosing schools, to writing the essays, to applying for scholarships, to discussion what to expect. Every aspect you can think of will be covered, and feel free to request sessions that you think will be the most helpful.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than 2 sessions, as I am keeping the participants slots very small so I can better give individual help to all of you and we can get to know each other well to build trust. I will not be opening up more slots, nor changing the timing.

About the Tutor

I am an undergraduate double majoring in Molecular and Cell Biology and Zoology. I am also minoring in Business. I speak 3 languages which are English, German, and Turkish. As a tutor, I am very passionate about helping students reach their full potential in school. I tutor biology, chemistry, writing, German, Turkish, and a variety of AP classes to help students prep for their exams. In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, playing D&D, and watching movies/TV shows.
