Harvard Student and YoungArts/U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts

Ian K.

I am a student at Harvard College, a 2024 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, and an award-winning writer, photographer, filmmaker, and theatre artist. I am a graduate of the prestigious Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, CA, and am currently dual-concentrating in Economics and Art, Film, and Visual Studies. I have extensive experience tutoring in math, English, history, and the sciences, each up to the AP level, as well as artist mentoring, test prep, and college application counseling and essay services.

As an artist and art mentor, I have wide-ranging experience with the upper echelons of high school arts competitions and programs. I have won the National YoungArts Competition twice, in film and photography, and was named a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts in 2024. I also wrote an award-winning original musical, and have performed and sang in theatre roles including the lead role of Sweeney Todd. My film projects have also won awards at film festivals such as Cannes, SFFFILM, NFFTY, and the All-American High School Film Festival, and my photography has been exhibited at the world-renowned J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

I'm passionate about educating in art, math, science, and English, and I truly enjoy helping students reach their writing potential. As a veteran of the college process and someone with extensive contacts in Ivy League admissions, I can help students craft an expert application and a killer essay, highlighting their best attributes with specific and personable stories. I also have deep first-hand experience with the SAT and many AP exams, and can provide top-notch test preparation with knowledge of test demands and materials.

I hope I can expand you or your student's academic and artistic potential, while helping them become the best applicant and person they can be!
