You've worked too hard to blend in.
Make Your College Application Stand Out
Every year, admissions officers read through stacks of nearly identical applications — same GPA ranges, same clubs, same volunteer hours. They’re not looking for the most qualified student. They’re looking for the one they’ll still be thinking about after they close the folder.
That’s where I come in. I’ll help you tell your story in a way that admissions officers actually remember.
What Students and Parents Say
For more than 20 years, David Greenhouse Tutoring has helped students build scores, gain confidence, and earn admissions that felt once unachievable. Families call him foundational and integral to what has been crucial life decisions—and the results speak for themselves.
SAT & ACT
Students aren’t struggling, they just don’t know how the test thinks. David finds lost points and helps them gain an average of 90 points on the English SAT.
GRE & LSAT
Grad and law school admissions come down to scores. David’s GRE and LSAT coaching builds the logic and timing skills that turn waitlists into acceptances.
MCAT
The MCAT tests clarity under pressure. David builds a focused plan so students master all sections and walk in fully prepared.
Letters of recommendation
A powerful recommendation starts with the right preparation. David guides families on who to ask and what to share, so the final letter tells a story admissions committees want to read.
College Essays
The personal statement is where a student sounds human. David has helped students write authentic essays that led to acceptances at Cornell University, Rutgers University, Penn State University, and more.

Parents Are Never Left Guessing
You hired someone to help your kid. You should know what’s happening. David keeps families informed — not just with grades and scores, but with honest context about where things stand and what comes next. You stay involved without having to chase anyone down.
