Shalini has worked with dozens of students for over ten years on their college applications, subject studies, and academic papers. She holds degrees in Chemical Engineering and Political Science, so whether you need help with something science-y or more social science-y, she has the breadth and knowledge to offer a helping hand. Her priorities are simple and straightforward: the students, their learning styles, and their goals. She wants to be there for you- you’re not alone in this.

“I will bring out your best- I want to help you express yourself with YOUR unique voice, with meaning, power, and lasting impact. I check grammar, syntax, and format. I critique content, coherence, flow, and depth. I will give you food for thought to encourage critical thinking that yields a deeper and more complete version of what you want to convey.

Every word counts to make you stand out, and that is where I’ve got your back. This is about putting your best foot forward and being proud of what YOU have to say the way YOU want to say it. There is no right or wrong way to write an essay, but there is such a thing as writing right for you: presenting your truth. 

Patience, attention, detail, and genuine investment in the success of any challenge is what I guarantee.”
