Interview Preparation
For most students, the private school interview is their first experience being evaluated in a one-on-one setting. Preparation makes a real difference in their confidence and the quality of their answers.
Interview sessions prepare students for every part of the interview: how to answer common questions clearly and confidently, how to present yourself professionally, what to wear, and how to ask thoughtful questions that leave a strong impression. Students practice with realistic mock interviews so the actual interview feels natural and comfortable.

Private School Consultation
Choosing the right private school is one of the most consequential decisions a family makes, and the Bay Area options vary significantly in culture, curriculum, and community. Every student is different, and the school that works for one child may not work for another.
Revive Tutoring brings years of research, school visits, and curriculum evaluation to this process, including deep familiarity with the options across the Bay Area. Families receive clear, honest guidance month-by-month through the admissions season — what to prioritize, what each school is looking for, and how to present your child's strengths clearly and compellingly.

Proctored Writing Test Preperation
The proctored writing test rewards students who can think quickly, organize their ideas, and write clearly under time pressure. These are teachable skills.
Sessions focus on the specific formats students encounter in private school writing assessments: timed practice, direct instruction in essay structure, and strategies for approaching unfamiliar prompts. Students learn to access their own ideas quickly and shape them into a focused, well-structured response — even when the clock is running.

Guided Assistance with Parent Essays
The parent essay is your opportunity to tell the school something about your family that the application forms cannot capture. It deserves real attention.
Revive Tutoring works with parents through every stage of the writing process, from brainstorming through final edits. The goal is writing that reflects your family honestly and memorably.
“Rachna has been working with all three of my middle and high school kids for over two years. They have tremendously benefited from her tutoring. Coordinating with our school, she created custom lessons and goals complementing their overall growth. Their grades improved but more importantly, their confidence in writing thrived. She is a gem.”
