Bio

Hello, Hola, Ola, Bonjour, Marhaban! My name is Kevin and I am a counsellor based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. My specialties in college counseling include essay writing, applying to the Ivy Leagues, college list and major application strategy, student-athlete recruitment, and applying to international universities beyond the U.S. - but I can do it all! My work in higher education began when I was reviewing applications at Tufts University during Graduate school. After two years in this role, I began guiding students toward understanding their own pathways to admission, including acceptances to esteemed universities such as: MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Georgetown, the University of Chicago, Brown University, Carnegie Mellon University, McGill University, Emory University, Tufts University, and countless others. I can also share my insights with you about the admissions officers' side of things from when I worked in the admissions offices at Cornell, the University of California - Berkeley, University of Virginia, University of Colorado-Boulder, Bentley, the University of California - Santa Cruz, and Texas A&M - Corpus Christi! The feedback that I can provide from this experience will be crucial for a student to have in the application process as they will be able to see exactly how an admissions officer will review their application and learn what it takes to secure that covered admission letter. For my own academic background, I completed my Master of Arts degree in Law & Diplomacy from the Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts University and my Bachelor of Arts degrees in International & Global Studies and Anthropology from Brandeis University. I also have an Education Specialist certificate with the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA).
