Experience
-I love working with students of all grade levels, interests and subject matters! I've tutored elementary and middle school students for three years while I was in high school. I also tutored middle school students as one of the Presidents of the middle school tutoring club (Project CHILD) while I was at Duke University. -I've also private tutored many high school students as they prepared for college. -I student assisted undergraduate and graduate classes at USC. -I'm passionate about tutoring because I know my work can help students directly achieve some of their dreams. I want people to believe in their abilities, and it's my passion to make the college (or test) preparation process fun and enjoyable for the student. -I can help make your college essays stand out. My previous students have gotten into Columbia University, CalTech, USC, Case Western Medical School, Duke University, Duke Medical School, NYU, UCLA, UNC, Johns Hopkins, University of Chicago, and more! -I have a genuine curiosity and passion for acquiring knowledge, and it's my desire to show students that learning is fun. I'm a Trinity Scholar and have extensive training in expository, persuasive, and research writing. -I have a publication for my research in molecular biology, and I'm also an excellent public speaker. I was the captain of my high school debate team, and I've pitched TV and film projects professionally as a Producer. -Some of my other accolades: I'm an international finalist for the Sanofi-Aventis BioGENEius Challenge. I studied Research Writing under Harvard Scholar George Gopen. -I'm also very well traveled and have lived in South Korea, the UK, and all around the US. I speak Korean fluently, and have studied Spanish and Japanese. In short, if you want someone who is well-versed academically in all STEM subjects, and is a great writer and speaker -- I'm your guy! I can also teach essential skills like public speaking, persuasive writing, and research, and also give strategic advice on how to get accepted into the top universities.
