Whether you’re trying to get into the college of your dreams, or want to begin your career at a top graduate school—we have an expert admissions consultant who can help you. TutorNerds admissions experts are highly experienced and specialize in the academic fields they consult for. They’re “industry insiders”. You’ll work one-on-one with your consultant to refine all aspects of your application—like school selection, personal essays, applications, and beyond. With TutorNerds private admissions consulting, you’ll have a partner in your application process. You’ll work with a consultant who not only understands the procedure for applying to top schools and programs, but also the strategy that gets you in.

Stressed about your application?

Admissions to high-caliber schools and institutions are more competitive than ever before. That’s why many students stress about standing out and being a competitive applicant. With GPA, test scores, extracurriculars, personal statement essays, volunteering, letters of recommendation, and more…there are a lot of factors that go into a successful application. The question is: How do you present yourself in the best possible light. Every applicant can improve the quality of his or her application…but it can be almost impossible to do this without proper guidance. And clearly the fact is: Getting into a top school requires more than just a “good application”. That’s where TutorNerds Admissions Consulting comes in.

Our Process

Our services are custom tailored to meet your individual needs. We work with students at any stage during the application cycle.
Lets connect
Contact us to speak with an academic director. We’ll have a conversation to understand your needs and recommend the best course of action. From there we’ll match you with the ideal consultant from our team.
Meet your consultant
You’ll work with an expert consultant who will guide you through every step of your application. From the very first session you’ll feel more confident and organized.

For younger students who are not applying to schools yet, your consultant can help you plan in advance to optimize your success. You’ll be advised on class selection, extracurriculars, volunteering, SAT/ACT tutoring, and other things like this.
Craft your application
With the help of your consultant, you’ll craft a college application that shows you in the best possible light. It will also take into account your goals: What schools do you want to attend, and what do you intend to major in? Session frequency and duration will depend on the overall strategy of your application—we do not force you to have a set number of sessions. Either way, you’ll get all the help you need to craft the best application for you.

Success stories from local students and applicants

I highly respect Tasha and definitely ask her for feedback & teaching suggestions often because I fully trust her. Also, she speaks Spanish! She is extremely intelligent and some day she’s going to be one of the most successful teachers in her district. Thank you for everything you do for our children. We couldn’t be more grateful.

Jad, the tutor I work with that is an associate of this company, is tremendous. Hands down best tutor I have ever had. Very knowledgeable of a multitude of math subjects and is pretty much always available! Has helped me pass all my college math courses! Lifesaver! He’s also a really great guy! Highly recommend him and this company! Great all around!

It was a hectic Sunday, and my son was struggling with coding which is a language I am not familiar with. I luckily stumbled on TutorNerds and Adam was able to connect us with a fantastic teacher. I cannot express my gratitude enough for Mark for his exceptional skills and extraordinary care for my son. I have never seen my son so elevated after a tutorial. I am glad I stumbled upon this place and look forward to using them for many more years! Thank you, Adam and Mark, for making a difference! You guys are amazing! If you are looking for a tutor, I HIGHLY recommend trying TutorNerds, from my experience so far this place is a gem!

I was recommended here by a class mate, and I’m so glad I followed through. I was struggling to keep up with the material in class and I knew I needed some extra one on one time to really understand the material. Ramin has been so helpful with each chapter and going over the practice midterm. I went from getting C’s on test to A’s. I highly recommend this as an investment into yourself and your education, versus failing classes. He is patient but will also push you to do better every time! Thank you Ramin!

Tutor Nerds are the BEST!! I was desperate to find someone to help me with my college Statistics class, so at the suggestion of a friend I contacted Adam at Tutor Nerds. The demand is high at this time of year for tutoring assistance since the semester is coming to an end, but Adam was quick to find an appropriate tutor for me. Steven was helpful for one session but was unable to continue due to his own studies. Adam B. was then scheduled to meet with me. He is SO smart, and kind, and patient and was actually able to help me understand this very complex subject. I passed the class! THANKS, Tutor Nerds. I’m getting closer to my goal of obtaining my BS degree in nursing. I HIGHLY recommend Tutor Nerds and will happily give their name as a referral to friends and colleagues who need assistance with their studies–specifically statistics.

If you are doubting about getting a tutor with Tutornerds do not hesitate any longer and go for it! I can honestly say that my experience overall with this amazing company and amazing tutor Andrew has been 10 out of 10. Andrew is a great teacher and he is pretty much a human calculator. I am so happy….I am right on track to receive the grade I really wanted in my College Algebra/Pre Calculus class. Tutornerds has helped me learn the material, finish all of my homework and prepare for the exams. My GPA is going to be where it needs to be and I am so thankful.
