Applying to college can be overwhelming. Our tutors are current and former Stanford students who recently went through the college application process themselves. They offer expertise, mentorship and a helpful, first-hand perspective.
We match each student with a tutor who can help with whatever part of the application they need, whether that is brainstorming and revising the Common App essay, working on supplemental essays and the UC Personal Insight Questions, or talking through standardized testing and college choices. Sessions are one-on-one, just like our regular tutoring, in person or online, and every essay stays in the student’s own voice.
What parents say
“My son was a senior this year and I reached out to Cardinal Tutors and was lucky enough to find the most amazing tutor. I wish I had found him earlier.”
