View Profile

I'm Andrew, and I hold degrees from MIT and UCLA. I live in Hawaii with my wife and son, who is in 9th grade. On Schoolhouse, I teach sessions on the college application process, guided by the belief that there’s a “right-fit” college for every student—and that what you make of the experience matters far more than rankings or prestige. I’ve worked in high-tech for over 20 years. I spend as much time as I can in the ocean—bodyboarding, swimming, or just floating.

Schedule

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Please do not miss more than one session over the four weeks, as that will negatively affect your learning and may also take up a spot from another learner who could have attended every session.

If you reach two unexcused absences, your tutor may remove you from this series.

Note from Schoolhouse: This series has sessions with required attendance. If you need to miss a required session, submit an absence using the "Submit Excused Absence" button on the series page. Multiple unexcused absences may lead to a suspension of your Schoolhouse account.
