Hi! I’m Cheryl Gartsbeyn, a dedicated tutor and college admissions consultant. With over 10 years of experience helping students unlock their full academic potential, I’ve recently expanded my role to include navigating the complex college application process. As I begin this new chapter, I’ve noticed a gap between what’s taught in schools versus the practical skills needed in real life—and I’m excited to help bridge that gap.

I hold a Master’s in English Education from Columbia University and a Bachelor's in Economics and English from Boston University, giving me a balanced perspective on both the humanities and the practical skills that drive success. My experience spans a variety of fields, and my new venture into college advising is a natural extension of my commitment to helping individuals thrive in both their academic and personal lives.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with students from all backgrounds, guiding them through the challenges of high school coursework, standardized tests, and the college admissions journey. I’ve helped students craft compelling personal narratives, refine their applications, and find colleges that align with their unique strengths and aspirations. But more than just getting students into college, I’m passionate about helping them build a strong foundation for their futures—one that aligns with their personal values and career goals.

My approach to tutoring and advising is holistic, focusing not just on academic achievement or financial planning but on the bigger picture—helping individuals build confidence, develop their passions, and make informed decisions about their futures. Whether you’re crafting your college applications, preparing for a critical exam, or seeking financial guidance, I’m here to offer personalized strategies and support.

Let’s work together to unlock your potential, prepare for the next step, and build a path toward fulfillment, purpose, and long-term success.
