Hello! My name is Elaine, and I’m a student at the University of Southern California pursuing a B.S. in Business of Cinematic Arts, an interdisciplinary program combining business and entertainment studies, and minoring in Entertainment Law. I’m actively involved in leadership and creative organizations on campus. I’m a Media Producer for Trojan Marketing Group, USC's student-run marketing agency, where I collaborate on client accounts and media campaigns. I’m also a member of the executive board of the Asian Pacific Cinema Association, as Co-Director of Physical Production. Prior to USC, I attended Orange County School of the Arts, where I was part of the Film & Television Conservatory.

One of my primary tutoring specialties is interview and college preparation. Having recently gone through competitive college admissions, internship applications, and job recruitment processes myself, I understand firsthand how challenging it can be to stand out. In addition, I’ve helped other students strengthen their applications and interview skills, including assisting two students who were successfully admitted to the Film & Television Conservatory at the Orange County School of the Arts.

What sets my approach apart is that I have experience on both sides of the interview process. During high school, I served on the Editorial Board of Yearbook and participated in student leadership, where I was involved in recruitment and candidate evaluation. I work with students to identify their unique strengths, develop compelling personal narratives, answer questions confidently, and tailor their applications and interviews to specific opportunities.

I also offer Korean language tutoring. My teaching experience includes tutoring through my high school's Korean Club as well as providing one-on-one instruction to friends. Whether students are looking to build conversational fluency, strengthen grammar fundamentals, or gain confidence speaking Korean, I can tailor lessons to each student's goals and learning style.

College Counseling

I understand firsthand what it takes to build a compelling application for competitive academic and creative programs. Throughout high school, I held leadership positions across multiple organizations, including Managing Editor of Yearbook, Co-Founder and Co-President of Korean Club, Special Projects Coordinator for CSF, and a student leader for CSArts Academy, where I mentored younger students and helped develop educational programming. My experiences in leadership, recruitment, event planning, mentorship, and selective programs such as BOLD@Olin have taught me how to identify a student's most meaningful experiences and present them in a way that highlights both impact and personal growth. I work with students to craft authentic applications, strengthen essays and activity descriptions, prepare for interviews, and develop a clear narrative that helps admissions officers understand what makes them unique.
Film

Film

I am currently studying Business of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, a highly selective program that combines film, media, and business education. Before USC, I attended the Orange County School of the Arts, where I completed the Film & Television Conservatory and developed hands-on experience in filmmaking, production, and visual storytelling. I have worked on over 20 student productions, including narrative short films, documentaries, and live TV.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As a student in USC's highly selective Business of Cinematic Arts program, I have successfully navigated competitive college admissions, internship applications, and job recruitment processes. In addition to my own experience, I have helped students strengthen their applications and interview skills, including assisting two students who were accepted into the Film & Television Conservatory at the Orange County School of the Arts. My background is especially valuable because I have been on both sides of the interview process; through leadership positions in high school, I participated in recruitment and candidate evaluation, giving me insight into what interviewers look for and what makes applicants stand out. I help students build confidence, communicate their strengths effectively, and develop thoughtful, authentic responses that leave a lasting impression.
Korean

Korean

I am a fluent Korean speaker who spent more than half of my life living in Korea, giving me both strong language skills and a deep understanding of Korean culture. As President of my high school's Korean Club, I organized events, led meetings, and helped students of varying proficiency levels build confidence in speaking and understanding Korean. I have also provided one-on-one Korean tutoring, tailoring lessons to each student's goals, whether they are focused on conversation, pronunciation, grammar, or cultural fluency. My teaching style emphasizes practical communication and creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable learning and making mistakes.
