Teacher expertise and credentials
As a high school English teacher who teaches AP and concurrent credit courses, I've assisted students with applications for a variety of US schools. I've also worked as a private tutor, helping US and international students perfect their applications for US institutions. I attended The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) for grad school, so I have some familiarity with the process for applying to Canadian schools; however, my true expertise is with US colleges and universities.
