MAIN LIBRARY - Join NYC English Teacher, college admissions pro, & local mom Rita Ross for a crash course on tips & tricks for finding the right school, rising to the top, and filling out the Common App.

After graduating from college with a degree in literature, Rita came to New York City to study English Education. She has been teaching juniors and seniors at a high performing public school in Flatiron since 2004 and has helped thousands of kids edit their essays, uncover scholarships, and locate the right schools. Rita is a New Visions fellow, an Academy for Teachers fellow, a Fulbright finalist and recipient of multiple classroom awards and recognitions. Her work focuses on advocating for student access to advanced coursework, high level thinking, and college resources.
