Joyce: Diamond Bar tutor

Certified Tutor

Hi! I'm Joyce. I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a degree in Global Health and Environment and a minor in Korean, following the pre-med track. I have over five years of tutoring experience working with students of all ages, from elementary and middle schoolers to high school and college students.

I specialize in reading, writing, the sciences, and Korean. I've helped younger students build strong foundational skills and confidence in the classroom, while also supporting high schoolers with ACT prep and college application essays. I combine content mastery with test-taking strategies, drawing from my own experience scoring a 34 on the ACT. When it comes to college essays, I know firsthand how powerful a strong personal statement can be, mine played a key role in my own admission to top schools like WashU and Boston College. I've since worked with students to refine their essays and helped them gain admission to schools like Purdue.

In addition to private tutoring, I've served as a teaching assistant for college-level Korean courses and have tutored older students looking to strengthen their language skills. I'm passionate about creating a supportive, encouraging space where students feel comfortable asking questions and empowered in their learning. My tutoring style is goal-oriented and engaging, I use active learning strategies and provide clear, constructive feedback to help students retain information and make meaningful progress.

Whether you're looking for long-term academic support or targeted help with test prep or essays, I'm happy to work with you. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
