  • Professional communications;
  • Project management;

  • Financing and Budgeting;
  • Real-Life Case Studies;
  • Prototyping;

Model United Nations Tutoring (20 hours)

This program offers bespoke, 1:1 coaching that supplements a student’s experience in a local or school-based Model UN club. 

As with any skills-based activity, high performance as an MUN delegate requires both practical experience and technical coaching. While most clubs provide a space for students to practice acting as a delegate, these group settings lack the personalized attention necessary to hone a student’s skills. Crimson pairs the student with an expert who coaches them as they work through their club’s curriculum, refining the student’s skills and preparing them to lock in a prestigious résumé addition. 

Global Language Tutoring (20 hours)
This program offers bespoke, 1:1 tutoring to supplement a student’s studies of one of the following languages:
  • French;
  • Spanish;
  • Italian;
  • Latin;
  • Japanese;
  • Mandarin.

Crimson’s tutoring provides support to students interested in developing a conversational level of fluency. Focus can be on any topic the student is interested in targeting, from area-specific vocabulary to deeper grammar explanations to conversational practice.

Final projects are ultimately pitched to the company, with each team’s work reviewed on quality and innovation.
