About Phillip


Bio

I am a freshman at Boston College, double-majoring in Computer Science and Psychology. My academic path combines analytical problem-solving with a deep understanding of how people think and learn—an approach that shapes how I tutor. Before college, I attended Seoul Foreign School, where I maintained a 3.88 GPA and earned multiple academic honors, including recognition from the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust and the USA Coding Olympiad.

I have been programming in C++ for over six years...

I am a freshman at Boston College, double-majoring in Computer Science and Psychology. My academic path combines analytical problem-solving with a deep understanding of how people think and learn—an approach that shapes how I tutor. Before college, I attended Seoul Foreign School, where I maintained a 3.88 GPA and earned multiple academic honors, including recognition from the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust and the USA Coding Olympiad.

I have been programming in C++ for over six years and have earned Gold Tier recognition three times in the USA Computing Olympiad (USACO). Through this experience, I have developed a strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving techniques used in competitive programming. I’m passionate about helping students grasp both the fundamentals of C++ and the deeper logic behind efficient code design. Whether you’re preparing for competitions or learning programming basics, I tailor my lessons to your goals and experience level.

My tutoring experience began in high school through the National Honor Society, where I designed personalized lesson plans for underclassmen struggling with mathematics and humanities. I helped students raise their grades by more than two levels on the IB scale through patient, structured, and adaptive teaching. I’ve also mentored peers in Model United Nations by providing weekly coaching sessions focused on critical thinking, public speaking, and confidence building. Whether explaining complex algorithms or guiding essay structure, I focus on helping students truly understand the reasoning behind each concept rather than just memorizing information.

Beyond academics, I have experience working with younger students as an assistant coach for middle and elementary soccer teams and volunteering with individuals with disabilities through Miral 1004. These experiences have taught me empathy, patience, and the importance of individualized support—values I bring to every tutoring session. My goal is to create a learning environment wh
