Razi is truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend him highly enough for anyone navigating the college admissions process. From the very first session, it was clear that he genuinely cares about his students and their success. What makes Razi stand out is his unique ability to be honest and direct when needed while still offering encouragement and unwavering support. He strikes a balance that many tutors struggle to achieve, pushing you to improve while making you feel confident and capable…Thanks to Razi’s mentorship, I was admitted to Columbia University through early decision… I’ve worked with other tutors in the past, but none of them has come close to providing the level of personalized and thoughtful guidance that Razi does. With him, it’s not just about getting your essays “done," it’s about taking them to a level where you truly feel content and proud of what you’ve written. I am deeply grateful for Razi’s support, honesty, and expertise. I owe much of my success in this process to him, and I am certain that any student fortunate enough to work with him will feel the same way.

Razi is truly a lifesaver for college essays…Razi helped me with my personal statement, not only lending me support, but also helping me find my voice and embrace my vulnerability. He aided with my supplementals as well! With Razi's help, I was accepted into Penn (University of Pennsylvania). I highly recommend Razi as a tutor, especially for those seeking admission into elite universities! Thank you for everything, Razi!

Razi was an absolutely incredible college essay expert. Throughout our sessions together, Razi ensured every minute was well spent, very efficient, and fun. I significantly struggled finding my “voice” in these essays and making them exceptional. Razi helped me refine my essays to fully express myself and show more vulnerability throughout the writing process. I believe that these essays were one significant part that led to my acceptance at Stanford.

Working with Josh was super comfortable and low-stress. He helped pull apart specific pieces of my common app personal essay, transforming it from a generic cliche to a unique telling of MY story. I now feel much more confident in submitting my essays to selective colleges and am very pleased with the whole process. If you are looking to take your college essays to the next level - Josh is your man!

Josh was an incredible and honest tutor. To be frank, I was a little hesitant about hiring an undergraduate at first, but Josh was honestly more helpful…than another tutor I used who had a Ph.D. in English and 10+ years of experience. He really helped me find my voice and think deeply about my personal experiences that would make me stand out as a candidate.
