He understands the impact a supportive mentor can have on a student's life and strives to provide the same level of guidance and mentorship to the next generation of students.

As a coach, Nathan takes a compassionate and patient approach. Given the ever-increasingly competitive college admissions process, he understands the stress that students and families face. He puts students at ease by learning about their goals, ambitions, and unique story, allowing him to co-create a comprehensive plan and roadmap toward achieving their goals. Nathan has learned that everyone has a unique story, and he strives to help students understand who they are and tell the narrative that makes them unlike anyone else. Nathan also excels at navigating ambiguity and breaking everything down into bite-sized chunks for both the students and their families. 

Nathan has helped numerous applicants gain acceptance into the country's top universities, such as Harvard University, Duke University, UC Berkeley, and the University of Pennsylvania.
