Hello!

My name is Serena and I have 6+ years of experience in college admissions counseling and K-12 tutoring. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University in three years, majoring in public health, and am currently a physician assistant (PA) graduate student. My high school statistics include receiving the maximum score of 5 on all eight of my AP exams (Biology, Chemistry, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, Psychology, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Chinese) and a 35 on my first time taking the ACT exam. I was accepted into numerous prestigious universities with full-ride scholarships and during my time at JHU, I was promoted to a prominent leadership position at a national nonprofit providing college applications advising to thousands of high school students across the country. My success in high school and the college admissions process makes me uniquely, highly qualified in general K-12 tutoring and college applications advising. In addition, I am bilingual (Chinese and English), so I can assist with ESL studies and teach students who are more comfortable with Chinese.

Since high school, I have been involved in various volunteering, non-profit, and business initiatives related to tutoring. It is my honor to help and see my students succeed. I am truly passionate about building a strong relationship with my students and assisting them in overcoming their academic obstacles. Every student deserves quality education and good teachers which I am happy to provide.

I guarantee a response within 12 hours and usually respond within 1-2 hours so please contact me if you have ANY questions! I would gladly provide more information regarding my teaching methods, credentials, schedule, etc.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Having tutored numerous students in algebra, I work with each student to evaluate where exactly they need help, what goals they want to achieve with tutoring, and develop good study habits. Whether you need one-time assistance right before an exam or regular tutoring sessions, I ensure that I tailor my teaching methods and resources to YOU. Building a solid foundation in algebra is crucial for a student's academic journey regardless of their career pursuits and I am confident I can help you achieve academic success.

College Counseling

College Counseling

I have incredibly successful personal experiences with college application process. I was accepted in Johns Hopkins University (where I am currently attending), UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Irvine, UC Davis, Vanderbilt University, and University of Rochester. I received a ~$30,000/yr scholarship at Johns Hopkins, was offered Regents/Dean Scholarships (most prestigious UC scholarship) at 3 UC schools, and was offered 2 research scholarships at the University of Rochester. In addition, I am currently employed at a non-profit that provides college application advising to thousands of high school students so I have a systematic system of guiding students and the appropriate resources and training.
Elementary (K-6th)

Elementary (K-6th)

I am very familiar with K-12 curriculum as I have two siblings a lot younger than me who I successfully tutored throughout the years and one who will soon be attending high school received the President's Education Award in both elementary and middle school. Most of my students in the past have also been elementary and middle school students so I have the experience to be patient, teach in a simple but effective way, and communicate efficiently. I am confident that I can help students catch up or be ahead of their class.
