Make your college application stand out
Imagine you are an admissions officer. You sift through thousands of applications to decide which students deserve a place at your school. You’re looking for students who won’t just get in—but who will succeed and make your institution proud.
Now picture yourself in that pile of applications. Maybe you already have a 4.0 GPA from a highly competitive high school. Maybe you’ve checked every box. But in today’s admissions climate, even that isn’t always enough. The competition is fierce, and what used to be a “reach school” for some may now be a “safety school” for others.
I provide personalized guidance in three of the most critical areas of the application process: essays, recommendations, and interviews.
Together, we’ll craft essays that reflect your authentic voice and resonate with admissions officers. I’ll help you identify the right recommenders and guide them on what to highlight about your strengths. And I’ll prepare you to present yourself in interviews with clarity, confidence, and impact.
From your first draft to your final submission, I’ll be with you every step—ensuring your application isn’t just complete, but compelling.

SAT & ACT Prep
Many students come in having studied hard but seeing little movement in their scores. David identifies the exact gaps, builds a plan around them, and gets to work. SAT English scores improve by an average of 90 points across the program.
GRE & LSAT Coaching
MCAT Preparation
The MCAT rewards deep understanding, not memorization. Sessions are structured around each section so that children enter test day with real command over the material, not just hope and a highlighted textbook.
Letters of recommendation
Most children do not realize how much a recommendation letter can quietly make or break an application. David Greenhouse Tutoring helps families figure out who to ask, what to share with that person, and how to set the whole thing up so the final letter genuinely represents the child sitting in front of the admissions committee.
