FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While my rates are generally hourly, I offered discounted rates with our comprehensive packages. I charge more for more specialized help (e.g. college, law, nursing, business, graduate school) and there can be premiums on jobs for which the time crunch require me to drop everything. Depending on the situation, I may offer deals for returning clients and may offer a finder's fee for clients who bring in referrals.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Establishing a personal connection with my clients is essential. If we vibe, trust develops and communication improves and everything gets easier. Sometimes I'm asked to help clients in last-minute situations -- you're already stressing, so my first job is to reduce that as much as possible. From there, it's all about being 1st Rate: Reliable, Attentive, Thorough, and Expedient. Once you can trust you have an ally at your side, the impossible suddenly becomes manageable.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a licensed attorney in California. I received my Juris Doctor (J.D.) from the University of Notre Dame Law School in 2018 and specialize in legal matters related to small businesses, tax, and real estate. As an attorney, educator, and law mentor, I strive to combine my diverse skills for empowering students along their educational journeys. As an Independent Educational Consultant (IEC), I founded and run First Honors, an educational consulting firm based in Beverly Hills, CA for over 5 years now. We're dedicated to redefining success for students along their educational journey. With active membership in prestigious educational associations like IECA, HECA, NACAC, and WACAC, I'm devoted to bridging the immense educational gaps and overcoming barriers for students, especially for AANHPI and minority students. Our services focus on admissions coaching, mentorship, tutoring, international, and pre-law/law school. I graduated from UCLA for undergrad with two Bachelor's of Arts (B.A.s) degrees in International Developmental Studies and Political Science, as well as, a minor in Film, Television, and Digital Media. My diverse educational background has prepare me with indispensable skills and expertise in a myriad of disciplines and industries, which has allowed me to cultivate the requisite substantive knowledge in diverse subject matters for my students. I am also highly involved with the community and fraternal organizations and know the value of feeling someone relates to you.
