College Advising
Less Like A Cram School.
More Like A FAMILY.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Study Co. aims to deliver an educational experience that is both functional and meaningful for students. Functional, in the sense it prepares students for college admissions. Meaningful, in the sense it helps students develop genuine aspirations, giving purpose to their education.
College is important, and as an extension, so are GPAs and test scores. But if we assume education’s sole purpose is college admission, teaching will inevitably degrade into a heartless exercise of cramming facts and formulas, and in turn students will struggle to be anything more than test scores and GPAs.
Education can be so much more than that. It should instill a sense of direction for students, inspire the discovery new passions, and enrich their lives. Education is more than just improving scores. Education is an experience.

He began his career in education working in Chicago Public schools as a Teaching Intern and in various tutoring centers as an after-school instructor. In 2013, he founded The Study Co. with the help of a few friends equally passionate about education. The goal was simple: create a supplementary educational model that was effective functionally and genuinely meaningful for students.
