Dr. Pedro Cevallos: Close to Three Decades Inside Education, Now Coaching Scholars and Translating for Institutions

I'm Pedro Cevallos. I still teach at the secondary and university levels because teaching is my passion. I hold a doctorate in Educational Leadership & Entrepreneurship from UCLA, and I have spent close to three decades at the highest levels of academia and educational strategy, including curriculum leadership at Pearson, the Chief Development Officer role at the American Welding Society, and co-founding College Bridge.

I've spent my career designing curriculum, shaping policy, and advocating for students inside the institutions that too often fail to serve their needs. Today, I bring that same depth directly to a small number of clients nationwide, as a dissertation and thesis coach, an English–Spanish translator and interpreter (I do not hold ATA certification), and an academic advisor. Educational advocacy for families continues on a limited basis.

I don't run a tutoring center or manage a team of instructors. Every engagement is mine alone, which is why this practice accepts a deliberately limited number of clients at a time.
