Hi! My name is Marlan, and I’m an undergraduate student at Princeton University majoring in Chemistry. I’m deeply committed to fostering academic growth, and I enjoy helping my students unlock their fullest potential. My strongest areas are generally STEM subjects, and I also specialize in standardized testing preparation and college essay writing. In the past, the students that I have helped have been accepted by prestigious colleges, such as Princeton University, the California Institute of Technology, and Columbia University.
In my free time, I play sousaphone as a part of the Princeton University Band. I love listening to music as well, and my favorite genres are pop, hip-hop, and R&B. I also enjoy running, table tennis, chess, and the occasional Minecraft session.
