When I teach high school English and Social Studies, I emphasize persuasiveness and storytelling to write the most important persuasive argument essays ever: personal statement and supplemental essays for students' favorite colleges. Not only in my own college admissions practice, I work for counseling firms Fahey Associates, Knavigators, E...

Mr. Ong is a very responsible and frank tutor. He is not only knowledgeable at helping student to write essay. But also very frankly let parent know what aspect that parent need to pay attention to the kid's growing. In US learning environment, most times we heard the appraisals, but we hope we also need to know what is the kid's shortcoming, so we can help him to improve. Mr. Ong is a teacher that frankly to tell us the direction we push the kid may need to change and I'm learning a lot. Even after the class, Mr. Ong also follow up with me and he does concern about my kid! I do appreciate his excellent instructions.

Kenneth cares a lot about his clients. He gives examples for reference; he is honest and considerate; very efficient & knowledgeable. Kenneth is very reasonable, wise, and gives good advice. I highly recommend him for college guidance, essay writing, any type of college application assistance you may need. Pretty much anything you want to know, he is the one to ask!
- Holly S. from Pacific Palisades, CA
During our very first session Kenneth helped me get a sense of direction for my Common App Essay (as an international student, his in-depth knowledge of the application process will be invaluable to me). We had a highly productive brainstorming session, after which I felt much more confident in what story I wanted to tell and how to frame it effectively. Not only did he help me understand the overall structure of the Common App essay, but also provided me with a story telling masterclass to ensure that I frame my experiences effectively. I definitely recommend Kenneth, due to his ample resources, highly content-packed lessons and such a deep understanding of the application process to US colleges.

Kenneth has been helping with college application where his experience and expertise are outstanding, especially in creating an applicant persona and creating a personal statement to rise above the group of applicants

Kenneth was a very helpful and friendly tutor. He not only helped me realize my mistakes, he helped me fix them in a constructive matter. He also provided very helpful insight on not only my essays, but also about college and the future. I highly recommend Kenneth to any potential clients as I?m sure they will not be disappointed .

Kenneth taught me a new way to look at the application. As Kenneth has been part of Admissions previously, he can help with explaining how your application is viewed, and knows exactly what they are looking for. Would definitely recommend.

Kenneth was available on short notice to help steer my daughter in the right direction regarding her college admission essay. Even though she had to start all over from scratch, her time with Kenneth was well worth it. He outlined key points and structure that her original essay is lacked. She attacked her new essay in a much better headspace and was much more confident. We would definitely seek out Kenneth again for future needs.

Kenneth was able to bring out a topic from me that I would have never even thought about writing, enabling me to get much more personal and relatable in my essay. He was very helpful and knows what he is talking about!

Kenneth is definitely one of the best tutors I have ever had, and he is so knowledgeable about the college applications process. He helped me learn so much about how to write a good personal statement and supplemental essays. I highly recommend him as your college consultant. It is a pleasure to be working with him, and I look forward to all of the wonderful essays we will write.

Kenneth prepared me for my first college interview. He helped prepare me by going over major tips on what to expect during this type of interview and did mock interviews with me. He also also helped me by overcoming my weaknesses. I can't say enough by how confident and satisfied I felt during the real interview! Kenneth is highly motivating, because he pushes you further but at the right pace. Definitely happy with my results.
