Georgia Tech Honors Student with 4.0 GPA

Seihyun L.

I am a Computer Engineering student in the Honors Program at the Georgia Institute of Technology, maintaining a 4.0 GPA. My academic background gives me a deep, foundational understanding of advanced mathematics and computer science. Having qualified for the AIME (American Invitational Mathematics Examination) 3 times, I am highly equipped to help high school and college students navigate challenging math concepts. Additionally, as a native Korean speaker, I am able to offer immersive conversational practice for language learners.
My formal teaching experience includes working at the Prestige Institute, where I tutored high school students preparing for the SAT. In this role, I worked in one-on-one and classroom testing environments to help students identify their specific weak points and systematically improve their scores. I also have extensive practical experience in computer science as a full-stack developer and the founder of a cross-platform social application. This hands-on background allows me to teach object-oriented programming, data structures, and frameworks like React and Flutter not just as theoretical concepts, but as practical tools used in the tech industry.
When it comes to my teaching methodology, I specialize in on-demand, real-time problem-solving rather than relying on rigid, pre-written lesson plans. If a student is stuck on a calculus problem or facing a persistent bug in their code, my approach is to jump straight into the problem with them. I break down the core logic step-by-step, ensuring they understand the fundamental mechanics behind a solution before moving forward. By focusing on collaborative debugging and targeted homework rescue, I help students build the confidence to tackle complex STEM challenges independently.
