Meet Edward Maza
Hi, I’m Edward — founder of Maza Academics. I’ve taught and coached students for years, helping them get into the world’s most competitive schools. With degrees from Yale and Oxford, and doctoral work at Princeton, I know what it takes to succeed in the academic world — and how to help your student stand out.
But more than my credentials, what parents appreciate most is my ability to connect with students. I believe every student has a story worth telling, and my mission is to make sure admissions committees hear it.
