I’m a Harvard graduate (GPA: 3.77) with a 33 ACT score and a deep passion for helping students express themselves clearly, confidently, and authentically. I specialize in college essay coaching, English language tutoring, and mentorship for students of all ages. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with high school students applying to top universities, middle schoolers embarking on creative writing journeys, and international students strengthening their English fluency.

As a freelance college essay coach, I’ve guided students who went on to be admitted to schools like MIT, UPenn, and NYU. My approach is highly personalized — I help students uncover their stories, structure their ideas, and write with clarity and purpose. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all advice; every student is different, and my job is to help each one find their unique voice. I’ve also worked as an English conversation tutor, mentoring over 20 Korean students remotely on business English, public speaking, and cross-cultural communication. Additionally, I’ve served as a mentor with Curious Cardinals, helping a middle school student write their first book by breaking the process down into manageable, inspiring steps.

Whether you're looking for support with essays, general writing skills, or English fluency, I bring patience, insight, and structure to every session. I’m here to be not just a tutor, but a partner in your academic and personal growth.

African American Studies

African American Studies

I majored in Ethnic Studies at Harvard University, and the vast majority of my work focused on African American Studies. My 80-page thesis was also about African American history, art, and culture, and I cited thinkers like Fanon, DuBois, and more.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I’ve worked for college preparatory companies such as Crimson Education for over two years, and freelanced as a counselor for over six years. I have helped students gain admission to top universities, including MIT, UPenn, and NYU, by guiding them through every step of the college application process. With a degree from Harvard and a background in writing, I specialize in developing standout personal statements and school-specific essays. I focus on strategy, voice, and clarity to help students tell authentic, compelling stories that resonate with admissions officers. I also focus on creating lists of schools for students to consider based on their needs and abilities and helping them create effective, school-specific supplemental essays. My approach is highly personalized and supportive, with a strong track record of results.
