Danny loves empowering young students to take charge of their education with deeper self-awareness and confidence. As a lifelong mentor, he finds purpose and joy in witnessing his students’ personal growth and helping them pursue their passions with all their hearts.

Some highlights of Danny's experience include:

  1. 10+ years as an English tutor and essay coach

  2. 4+ years as a college counselor and mentor

  3. Worked with 100+ students from across the USA and the world
