Dr. Pedro Cevallos leading a strategy session at a whiteboard on access, opportunity, and student success

Areas of Practice

Writing and Research

Academic and professional writing, research papers, theses, and dissertations, from outline through defense preparation. Structural editing at the graduate level, including guidance on the responsible use of AI tools in academic work.

Admissions and Testing

School selection, application strategy, essay development, and interview preparation. SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT strategy built around the individual student rather than a franchise curriculum.

High-Stakes Communication

Speeches, presentations, persuasion, and competitive debate for students, scholars, and professionals who need to argue and present at the highest level.

Working Together

I work directly with a limited roster of students and families. There are no associates and no outsourced sessions. Every engagement is built around the individual student and delivered personally by me.

How I Work

Engagements are structured hourly, by project, or as a monthly retainer. Rates and availability are discussed during a private consultation.
