"I graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Business Economics (3.9 GPA) and have over four years of experience tutoring and mentoring students in finance, economics, interview preparation, and professional development. For the past three years, I have volunteered with Peninsula Bridge, a nonprofit in the Bay Area that supports K–12 students in STEM and career readiness. Through both one-on-one and small group instruction, I’ve helped students strengthen their analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills in ways that carry over into real-world success.
My tutoring style is structured but adaptable. I start by understanding each student’s goals and preferred learning approach, then build customized lesson plans with clear milestones. I use a mix of active learning, Socratic questioning, and spaced repetition to deepen comprehension and boost confidence. For professional development students, I teach how to move beyond basic frameworks like the STAR method by weaving in reflection, results, and motivation to craft authentic and memorable interview stories. I also focus on body language, pacing, and delivery, helping students communicate naturally and confidently in high-pressure settings.
I hold a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) certification from the Center for Credentialing and a Certified Interview Coach (CIC) credential from the University of California's career development academy. These programs have strengthened my ability to teach communication, leadership, and goal setting using research-based techniques.
My students have earned admission into top universities and secured roles at firms such as Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, and Blackrock. At the core, I believe tutoring is about building lasting confidence and curiosity. I aim to make every session engaging, practical, and focused on helping students reach their full potential." less...
