High School Application Consulting – Mr. Butler


I am an 8th grade English teacher at Saint Andrew's Episcopal School in Saratoga, and the current poet laureate of Los Gatos.

I have a master’s in education from UC Santa Cruz and have been teaching for over 5 years.

Hello! For years, I've helped 8th grade students throughout the high school admissions process as an English teacher at Santa Clara County middle schools.

Please get in touch with the form at the bottom of this page if you are looking for someone to assist your student with high school applications—I work with students in setting deadlines, dividing the process into manageable steps, and demystifying important elements of the application process like writing personal statements and planning for letters of recommendation.

I take on only a few students per application year in order to provide individualized support.

All the best,

–Mr. Butler
