About Kevin

Bio

Hi I'm Kevin! I graduated Valedictorian of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. Ranking #1 out of 450 students with a perfect 4.0 GPA taught me that academic success isn't about working harder—it’s about working smarter. I approach tutoring and mentorship with this same systematic, high-efficiency mindset.

Hi I'm Kevin! I graduated Valedictorian of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. Ranking #1 out of 450 students with a perfect 4.0 GPA taught me that academic success isn't about working harder—it’s about working smarter. I approach tutoring and mentorship with this same systematic, high-efficiency mindset.

I’ve spent years refining frameworks for complex problem-solving and elite communication, and I am passionate about teaching these same "Haas-level" strategies to the next generation of leaders. Whether your student is tackling advanced business cases, refining a high-stakes college essay, or looking for a mentor to help them navigate competitive admissions, I provide the structured guidance they need to stand out.

My teaching is deeply informed by "real-world" authority from the center of global finance. I currently serve as an analyst in the Office of the Chief Risk Officer at a top-tier global Japanese bank in New York City, where I synthesize strategy for C-suite executives. My professional background spans finance and risk management at Unilever to project management at Bakar Labs, Berkeley’s flagship biotech incubator. Having also studied abroad at Maastricht University in Europe, I offer students a truly global perspective on career development, resume building, and international admissions.

Mentorship is the heartbeat of my career. As a former President and Director of major organizations at UC Berkeley, I have led thousands of volunteers and spent hundreds of hours as an Orientation Leader, helping students acclimate to elite campus life. My tutoring is personalized and results-driven; I don’t just teach subjects, I help students build a "personal brand" that resonates with admissions officers and recruiters alike, and a mindset that unlocks students' full potentials. I look forward to helping your student bridge the gap between their current studies and their most ambitious future goals.
