Approved Subjects

College Counseling

College Counseling

Admitted to numerous Ivy League and Ivy+ colleges, I matriculated to Princeton. I've worked with high school students during their college application process to craft compelling essays, polish their Common App activities lists and awards sections, prepare for admissions interviews, and build a strategic list of colleges to apply to. I also helped an international student successfully apply to Phillips Academy Andover (a top boarding school) as a transfer applicant; I helped them with their application essays as well as interview preparation. The student also received a waitlist from Phillips Exeter Academy (#1 Best College Prep Private High School in America according to Niche).
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have 2+ years of experience in college application essay writing, academic writing for peer-reviewed journal publication, and essay writing for competitions and scholarships. As a freshman in college, I became a published author in a peer-reviewed journal that typically only accepts Ph.D. candidate articles. At Princeton, I also received an Honorable Mention from the NPR College Podcast Challenge for my journalistic reporting and writing. In high school, I was a two-time finalist (top 50/3,000+ internationally) for the Anthem Essay Contest, and have experience helping students edit essay contest entries and scholarship applications.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

I have 2+years of experience preparing students for college and boarding school admissions interviews. I have completed over 40 job and internship interviews to date, with particular expertise in legal and non-profit interviewing. These interviews have enabled me to receive prestigious internships and internship-funding including an internship with a federal district court judge and funding from Yale Law School.
Legal Writing

Legal Writing

I have experience in legal writing as a managing editor for the Princeton Law Review, and am familiar with Bluebook. As one of a select few undergraduate interns for a federal district court judge, I drafted orders that were subsequently published to the docket. As a TA for a legal clinic, I also supervised and edited the drafting of three federal compassionate release motions.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

Admitted to numerous Ivy League and Ivy+ colleges, I matriculated at Princeton. I have 2+years coaching students through their personal statements for college and boarding school. The personal statements that I've edited have earned students admission to selective boarding schools such as Phillips Academy Andover (with a full-tuition scholarship; acceptance rate of 13%) and a waitlist at Phillips Exeter Academy (#1 Best Private Prep School in America according to Niche). My personal statements also earned me merit-based opportunities, including the 2024 Arthur Liman Public Interest Law Fellowship from Yale Law School, the 2025 Scholars in the Nation's Service Award from Princeton, recognition as a Coolidge Senator (top 100/4,700+ nationally) from the Coolidge Scholarship Program, and selection as a semifinalist (top 500/21,500+ nationally) for the Elks Most Valuable Student Scholarship.

I have 2 years of collegiate mock trial experience as an attorney for Princeton Mock Trial, ranked 4th nationally. In high school, I won numerous public speaking and debate competitions, including 5th Place (among 3,000 competitors) in Individual Debate at the World Scholar’s Cup Tournament of Champions at Yale University, 1st Place Team and Commended Speaker in the Osaka High School Parliamentary Debate Competition, and 2nd Place (among 200+ nationally) in the Toyo Eiwa University National Recitation Contest.
Sociology

Sociology

I was a Sociology major at Princeton (ranked #1 in Sociology by U.S. News), and have been published in a peer-reviewed journal. I can help students build subject matter expertise and offer guidance on conducting independent research, writing a literature review, and publishing. I also have completed multiple independent projects in Stata (including a 120-page thesis on jail mortality).
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

As part of my undergraduate degree, I successfully completed and defended a sociology thesis which was 120+ pages. The thesis used negative binomial models and was coded in Stata. I also have experience conducting numerous quantitative and qualitative independent studies. As a freshman in college, I became a published author in a peer-reviewed academic journal. I can provide assistance at all stages of the thesis process including ideation, literature review, method development for social science theses, presentation of findings (including visual presentation of results), as well as structuring, line editing, and citations.

Exceptional Step-by-Step Guidance and Support

My tutor was really kind, patient, and supportive throughout the session. They guided me step by step and made even the harder parts easy to understand. I appreciated how quickly they picked up on my mistakes and helped me fix them in a really clear and helpful way. Their teaching style made me feel more confident, and they really helped improve my writing. I’d definitely recommend Koki for future lessons

Helpful and Responsive

Koki O. was very responsive and made sure she understood what I was asking. She did a great job correcting my writing and explaining areas that needed improvement. The feedback was clear, thoughtful, and very helpful for strengthening my chapter. Thanks again! I’ll be using her for the rest of my chapter.
