Introduction: Hi! My name is Tristan, and I am a graduate of Harvard Law School (2020) and Harvard College (2015).
Writing has been a lifelong passion of mine, and I credit my writing skills for getting me to where I’ve been in my career. As Vice President of the Harvard Law Review, I created the annual Writing Competition that hundreds of first-year students take for admission to the Law Review, and I also wrote feedback memos to law school professors on how to improve their article submissions. I am a Truman Scholar and graduated from Harvard College magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. In addition to Harvard, I was also accepted to the following colleges as a high school senior: Yale, Stanford, Penn, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Virginia (full-ride Jefferson Scholarship recipient), and the University of Maryland (full-ride merit scholarship recipient).
I have over 10 years of experience working with students on their personal statements and essays for applications to colleges and graduate school programs. I specialize in college essay advising, and I also design longitudinal curricula in expository writing, argumentative writing, and personal narrative writing for those looking for a comprehensive experience in growing their writing skills. I employ a unique question-based + structural editing approach to writing tutoring that I have found to be tremendously successful in helping students develop the tools they need to be effective writers as they grow in their educational and professional pursuits.
I am available for remote sessions via Zoom for students based anywhere.
I charge $480 for individual 1-hour sessions (students will send me their essays ahead of time, I will review and provide substantive feedback on my own time, and we will devote the actual session to working through my feedback). You may also bundle 5 sessions together for a discounted price of $2000, and customers who purchase this option will also get a free 1-hour interview prep session with me.
I would be honored and excited to have a conversation about how I can be a part of your writing journey!

Hiring Tristan to coach our daughter through the college essay writing process was the best investment we ever made in her education. Tristan displayed a unique ability to connect the different parts of my daughter’s educational and extracurricular experiences into a coherent narrative that was at once memorable and authentic. I sat in on many of the tutoring sessions, and I found that Tristan is a true coach in the deepest sense of the word: he listens with an incredible depth of empathy, he asks thoughtful guiding questions that challenges you to think in different ways, and he gave both myself and my daughter a new appreciation for how all of her accomplishments tie together to paint a picture of the talented and bright student she is. That is a gift that we weren’t expecting at all when we hired a writing tutor, but it’s a testament to Tristan’s unique talent for teaching and coaching. We enjoyed his college essay writing advising so much that we actually hired Tristan for the longer-term modules he offers in expository writing and argumentative writing because we wanted to make sure our daughter was as prepared as possible for the rigors of college classes so that she would hit the ground running on all her writing assignments from day one. Do yourself and your kids a favor and hire Tristan to be your writing coach!
