I graduated from UC Irvine, where I majored in Sociology and minored in Film and Media, which has given me a deep understanding of communication, storytelling, and cultural context. In addition, my professional acting experience has strengthened my ability to engage students, bring material to life, and teach with creativity and confidence.

I am an experienced tutor specializing in English and writing, with a strong academic and creative background. I graduated from UC Irvine, where I majored in Sociology and minored in Film and Media, which has given me a deep understanding of communication, storytelling, and cultural context. In addition, my professional acting experience has strengthened my ability to engage students, bring material to life, and teach with creativity and confidence.

My tutoring approach is highly student-centered and interactive. I integrate techniques from my acting and media background—such as storytelling, character analysis, and expressive reading—to make lessons engaging and relatable. I tailor instruction to each student’s learning style, break down complex concepts, and provide clear, structured guidance for writing, analysis, and communication skills.

My goal is to empower students to not only improve their grades but also gain confidence and independence in their learning.

I am committed to creating a supportive, engaging environment where students feel motivated, capable, and inspired to reach their full potential.
