I have six years of experience helping students with academic writing, including personal statements, application letters, and publications. Having just finished my PhD in the philosophy of education, I also hold a MA in Philosophy of Education from UCL IoE and a MSc in Higher Education from Oxford University. Higher education is my passion and as a long-time international student from the USA in the UK, I am keen to help you achieve your educational goals at top universities.

With a background in Chinese to English translation and teaching English as a second language, I have honed excellent skills in attention to detail and cultivated a passion towards supporting international students. Having completed a year of study with Zhejiang University of Media and Communications, I have gained first-hand experience of the challenges of studying in another language and believe I can support students in reflecting their potential through the application process.

Hi! I’m Harish, and I specialise in the editing and writing of personal statements, resumes, and academic content, as well as running interview practice sessions and the provision of advice relating to all aspects of an academic application. Prior to joining ZHISHIQ, I offered my writing services on a self-employed basis, and in this role, worked with a large number applicants to craft arresting, succinct, and successful personal statements for a range of courses. I am currently a PhD candidate in Philosophy at a UK Russell Group university, hold two Master’s degrees, and a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from University College London. I have also worked full-time as a chartered accountant at a consultancy firm in London and as a policy advisor in the Civil Service. Please read on to see how I can use the knowledge and skills gained from these ventures to help you with your application.
