Introduction

Hi there! I'm Amogh, an undergraduate student from Duke University/Dartmouth College who also works as an ACT/SAT tutor and college consultant. I began working as an ACT/SAT tutor in 2019, and as a college consultant since 2021; in the past 5 years, I have worked with over 80 students, each with unique narratives, goals, and academic/extracurricular experiences. So... why should you hire me? To be transparent, I do not see myself as a purely “professional” tutor or counselor. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d urge you to find someone who works full-time in the business and has decades of experience. I view myself more as a mentor, a sounding board, and someone who genuinely understands what this process feels like—because I’ve been there not too long ago. As a university senior myself, I bring both a fresh perspective and a genuine understanding of what students face. Now, that doesn't mean I don't get results. To this date, I have never had a student or parent unsatisfied with my services, as evidenced by my perfect 5.0 rating on Thumbtack. After working with me, all of my SAT/ACT students have improved their test scores and met their desired score ranges. Students of mine have gone on to attend universities such as Yale, Dartmouth, Cornell, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley, and the University of Washington. I work with each of my students to make custom plans that best fit their personal lives and academic goals, whether it's for the SAT/ACT or for the entire college application process. More importantly, my youth and recent experiences with school allow me to connect with my students and help them feel more aided in the process. So, if you're looking for someone with a strong academic pedigree, a track history of driving positive change, and recent, relevant experiences with standardized tests and college admissions, look no further than this profile! I am committed to helping your child succeed -- let’s work together to unlock their full potential! Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best support your child’s educational journey!

This past year, Amogh helped my daughter get into Stanford! He's a very charismatic and charming young man who cares about his students, even offering to do things for free outside of the general meetings. Couldn't recommend a better college counselor, especially when considering how overpriced and out of touch most agencies are.

Amogh was great in helping my son throughout the college admissions process! He helped boost up his ACT/SAT score, improve his college essays, and eventually get into an Ivy League University in the Early Decision round!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $100/hour for my tutoring/counseling services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
During my first meeting with a student, I like to discuss the personal and educational goals that they hope to achieve, and then begin creating a personalized study and course plan that will allow the student to reach those goals to the best of their ability. This plan is very flexible and can be modified based on the demonstrated growth that each student shows. During this initial meeting with a student, I also like to make as meaningful as a connection with them as possible; I want to make my tutoring as enjoyable and engaging as possible, and part of that is making sure my students are always comfortable and not afraid of making mistakes.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Currently, I am a student at Dartmouth College, a prestigious Ivy League University, where I have received the Rufus Choate Scholar award for being in the top 5% of my class, and am currently ranked top in my class. In high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program at Inglemoor High School and finished in the top 1% of my high school class while doing so. The IB program is a rigorous and holistic educational experience that has exposed me to all of the humanities and STEM as well. Furthermore, due to my recent experience in taking the SAT/ACT/GMAT and advanced classes in high school, I can provide more current and relatable study strategies and skills that will help students succeed.
