Every Personify student works one-on-one with a specialist like Ashley — not a generalist tutor.
Ashley Chang
College Counselor — UC Berkeley (Honors), 4+ Years
Ashley graduated with honors from the University of California, Berkeley, with over four years of experience in college counseling. She has guided students through the full college-admissions process — helping them build strong personal narratives, develop impactful extracurricular profiles, and craft compelling applications. One student she worked with created a chapter student organization with over 200 members, then earned admission to UC Berkeley for EECS (an under-5% acceptance-rate program).
Her approach is extremely hands-on and mentorship-driven: weekly meetings guiding students step by step, from brainstorming interests to executing projects and refining applications, with the structure and accountability needed to turn ideas into real accomplishments.
She has extensive experience mentoring students on independent initiatives — nonprofit initiatives, community organizations, entrepreneurial ventures, and passion projects that demonstrate leadership and real-world impact. Her students have earned admission to Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and NYU, among other highly selective institutions.
