About MISTS
“We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.” - Jimmy Carter
Manny’s International Student & Tutoring Services (MISTS) was founded by Jairo Emanuel Sabillon. He goes by his nickname “Manny” which he adopted during high school to make it easier for teachers and classmates to pronounce. He humorously introduces himself as "MAN" from "NY" to help travelers remember his name. With nearly six years of experience in higher education, Manny has a strong background in recruiting students from seventh to twelfth grade, as well as college and adult learners. His expertise particularly focuses on those who are underrepresented, economically disadvantaged, first-generation and academically challenged students. He has provided academic, professional, counseling, and emotional support, guiding students through the admissions process, financial aid, and schedule building. He has also coordinated enrichment activities such as summer academies, interactive laboratory experiences, research projects, internships, competition preparation, career exploration, and mentorship programs. He instructed one-credit courses, College Foundation Seminar, teaching students the skills to be successful. Manny has additionally improved and created filing systems for data collection and tracking for reporting and monitoring purposes.
On a personal note, Manny is an avid traveler who has visited Honduras, South Korea, Hong Kong, China, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Spain. His wife was also an international student, providing him with insights into diverse cultural practices and the lengthy process of applying for an F-1 Visa to study in the United States. Manny recently earned a Level 5 168-hour Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language from The TEFL Academy.
During his time in higher education, Manny assisted many international students from countries such as South Korea, Japan, Brazil, Mexico, and Haiti. The purpose of MISTS is to become a reliable, recognized, and trustworthy international student recruitment agency, specifically targeting South Korean students for colleges and universities in New York and Minnesota. New York offers world-renowned degrees and a variety of environments, from the bustling city life of New York City to the quiet, calm towns like Clinton, NY. Similarly, Minnesota provides numerous hands-on degrees and healthcare opportunities, such as clinical experiences at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Additionally, Minnesota mostly does not have out-of-state tuition, making it an enticing and affordable option for students.
