The one thing better than getting a top score on an exam or in a class, is helping someone else achieve the same. I believe teaching can make a significant impact on how people view learning and approach difficulties and barriers in and out of the classroom. I am really passionate about tutoring and cover many subjects including college essay writing, SAT prep, AP Environmental Science, Chemistry, and basics for various languages including Latin & Korean.
My test prep students have experienced score increases of up to 100 points through simple and highly effective techniques. Beyond standardized test teaching experience, I also help several students with college applications to top universities, backed by my own admissions to Stanford University and University of California, Berkeley. I have helped guide students and peers in college applications with acceptances to Stanford, Berkeley, UC San Diego, Yale, USD, Bowdoin, and more.
As a neuroscience major, I am interested in understanding the mechanisms of learning in the brain as it relates to diverse fields as seen in the breadth of my exploration into language, culture, education, and human connection, which I see as a fundamental pillar of healthcare and wellness.
As a Taiwanese-French American, I have grown up with a multicultural sense of the world and my love for languages has allowed me to interact with people in English, Mandarin, French, and Korean.
Outside of teaching, I love working out, dancing, climbing, getting outside, and doing all sorts of crafts.
