Our daughter is a now a high school senior. She took college preparatory courses at ACHARYA. I am pleased to say that she really enjoyed working with Shanti Swaroop, who assisted her in writing five essays. His coaching helped her identify and outline her strengths, extra curricular activities, achievements and challenges in the correct format. Shanti Swaroop maintains a different strategy for each college that the students wants to apply. Depending on the college and the major she wants to apply for, he summarizes what is important to capture in the essay and how to narrate the story. He usually takes a couple of days for corrections. This strategy worked well and all her essays turned out excellent. Shanti Swaroop and his team has deep knowledge of the college admission process and a very talented in Maths and Science subjects. Although we didn't get a chance to work with ACHARYA for a long time, I recommend and encourage others to engage with them as early as possible and seek mentorship from them.
