Dumisani is applying to university - who can guide us?
Looking for a graduate who can spend an hour a week reviewing Dumisani's essays until April.

I'm Dumisani, 18, in Grade 12. My parents work long hours and didn't go to university, so there's no one at home who can help me understand applications, deadlines or financial aid. I'd like to study public health.
I have a 3.7 average, I volunteer at my mosque and I have a draft of my personal statement. What I need is someone to read my essays, tell me honestly what's weak, and explain how scholarships work.
I'm looking for an hour a week until April. We can do it by video from anywhere. My mother will be at home during every call, and the school counselor knows about this request.
Thanks for reading. It took me a long time to ask.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 hour a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- university experience, essay feedback
