Approved Subjects

Earth Science

Earth Science

I am a Ph.D. researcher and a current University Instructor at Towson University, where I have taught Physical Geography (GEOG 101) and Earth Science for over 7 years. Having designed curricula and graded thousands of students, I have a deep understanding of what it takes to excel in Earth Science, from meteorology and climatology to geomorphology. I specialize in helping both college and high school students master complex natural phenomena through the same rigorous yet accessible approach I use in my university lectures.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

As a Ph.D. in Geography with extensive research experience at the University of Maryland, I possess a deep understanding of Earth sciences, including physical geology and spatial analysis. I have years of experience as a Teaching Assistant (TA), where I specialized in breaking down complex geological processes and environmental data into accessible lessons for college and high school students. My field research across 21 countries allows me to provide real-world examples that make theoretical concepts come alive for my students.
Korean

Korean

I am a native Korean speaker with a professional background in linguistics, holding a B.A. in English Literature and a Ph.D. that required high-level academic bilingualism. My experience as a professional translator and scriptwriter for Korean media ensures that I can teach not only foundational grammar but also the nuanced cultural contexts and professional-level communication skills. I customize my lessons to focus on 'living Korean,' helping students transition from textbook learning to natural, fluent conversation.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

Having successfully navigated the competitive U.S. doctoral admission process and mentored numerous students, I specialize in crafting winning Statements of Purpose (SOP) and personal essays. I combine my academic rigor as a researcher with my creative skills as a former columnist to help students identify their unique narrative and present it with professional clarity. My expertise lies in 'transcreation'—ensuring your personal story is both authentic and strategically aligned with the expectations of top-tier admission committees.
