Yale tutor who makes hard things click. College admissions coach.

Shogo O.

Hi! I’m a Yale undergraduate (B.A. in Economics with Certificates in Data Science and Japanese) and a Cum Laude high school graduate with a perfect single-composite ACT score of 36 (Math 35, Science 36, English 36, Reading 36). I also earned 5’s in every AP I took: AP Calculus BC, AP English Language & Composition, AP English Literature & Composition, and AP French Language & Culture.

Teaching & tutoring experience:

I’ve been tutoring since my sophomore year of high school as an official Peer Tutor, working one-on-one and in small groups with students in all grades (9–12) and across a wide range of subjects. I also served as a Peer Counselor, which trained me to be patient, empathetic, and good at meeting students where they are struggling, academically and emotionally.

In addition, I spent my junior summer in Japan teaching an English curriculum to learners of all ages: children as young as four, elementary and middle school students, and older adults. I designed level-appropriate lessons, used games, stories, and real-life examples for younger students, and focused on conversation, confidence, and clear grammar explanations for older learners. That experience taught me how to adjust my teaching style quickly based on age, background, and language level.

What I tutor:

ACT: English, Reading, Math, Science

Writing & Reading: College admissions essays, Common App personal statements & supplemental essays, academic essays, creative writing, reading comprehension

College Admissions Prep & Coaching: Strategy, timelines, resume writing, application organization and more

Math: Algebra through multivariable calculus

French: Beginner through AP (grammar, composition, conversation, reading, listening, pronunciation)

General Academic Support: Elementary through high school

I’m available for online sessions and, when possible, in-person meetings. If you share your goals and timeline, I can help you build a clear plan to get there.
