About Me

John is a graduate of New York University, where he received his degree in theatre. When he moved to Los Angeles after graduation, he began tutoring high school students, initially as a way to supplement his acting income. John quickly fell in love with the process of helping each student maximize their academic potential, reinforcing important study habits that match their unique learning styles. He soon went on to earn his TEFL Certificate, which led to a teaching stint in Peru. This was followed by a move to China, where John became more involved in admissions consulting and built on his prior work providing application support. Over a two-year cycle, he handled a caseload of over 80 students attending some of the top independent American boarding schools and looking to continue their educations in the United States. John later moved to San Francisco where he has worked with Scholar Co. since 2019. He holds a Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA.

By supporting each client individually and helping his students discover their passions, John has guided many students and families through various stages of decision-making throughout their high school careers, implementing strategies to help them build the strongest student profiles possible. As an admissions consultant and college essay coach, he helps each student embrace their authentic voice. His students have gained admission to some of America's most prestigious colleges and universities.

John applies a diligent, innovative, and personalized approach when consulting with and providing college advising and application support to students and families within the Scholar Co. community.
