With my 2+ years of experience in both individual and institutional tutoring and proficiency in Korean (native) and Mandarin (conversational), I take a supportive and personalized approach to tutoring. I adapt each lesson to the student’s level, goals, and learning style. For SAT and TOEFL, I focus on building meticulous reading, writing, and test-taking skills while helping students feel more confident and prepared. I like to include a mix of simulated practice, strategic review, and detailed feedback. I’ve worked with middle-school students looking to pass their ESL exams to Med School students matching with their dream programs, and am happy to report success in both.

What sets me apart is my combination of strong scores, academic background, and flexible teaching style. As an English and Creative Writing student from top universities like UNC-Chapel Hill and University of Melbourne, I understand both the content and the pressure of these exams. My lessons are suitable for middle school, high school, and university-bound students who want help with test prep, writing, and college readiness. Take a look at my bare-bones expertise:

I received a 5 and 4 on the AP Lang and Lit tests in 2020, respectively. Since then, I have studied 4+ years of English and Creative Writing at top universities like UNC-Chapel Hill and the University of Melbourne, and was on the Dean's List for both institutions. In the past, I've helped high school and grad-school level students with essay writing and application prep.
