College Access

I am committed to raising the number of low-income students who graduate from college. I believe that strong writing is a key to their success.

I developed and taught a 17-week curriculum for the educational non-profit Minds MatterSoCal, which guides promising underserved students through a three-year program that culminates in a 100% college acceptance rate. I also developed and ran Summer Writing Workshops for another non-profit college access program, Heart of Los Angeles (HOLA), and mentored HOLA students through the application process.

At libraries and high schools, free of charge, I offer presentations such as “How to Actually Write Your College Essay,” with step-by-step guidance for students whose schools have no college counselors on staff.

If you represent a high school, library, or educational non-profit organization that would like to take advantage of my services, contact me at louisetutelian@gmail.com
