Certified Korean Tutor
Chang
AB University of Waterloo
2+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from Mechatronics Engineering in University of Waterloo located in Canada, and am currently enrolled in Masters program, researching stochastic systems and computational neuroscience in University of Toronto. Currently, I am qualifed to teach computer programming, with a focus on Python language, but am able to transfer my skills to other languages. As someone that started programming later compared to my peers in university, I constantly remind myself on how difficult the initial learning curve was in programming, and aim to use this as an advantage to guide my future students into the world of programming in an interesting way, where they can enjoy the learning process and challenges, instead of being frustrated. Whether you want to learn for school, or just personal reasons, I believe that I can offer a tailored experience for teaching computer programming. I am also hoping to get qualified to teach mathematics, especially linear algebra. As an added bonus, I am also willing to share my knowledge in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence as it is the field that I have a lot of experience in. Teaching is not just a trasfer of knowledge, but aiding the students in making a concept their own, so that they have freedom to use it for different applications. I will try my absolute best to make what seems like a difficult topics, your own!

Kevin
BA Cornell University
14+ Years Tutoring

Learning Korean means tackling Hangul, honorific speech levels, and a sentence structure that puts the verb at the end — all of which can feel disorienting for English speakers. Kevin walks students through these building blocks systematically, connecting grammar patterns to real conversational contexts so the language starts to feel logical rather than foreign.

Nu
BS Saint Louis University-Main Campus
2+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from Saint Louis University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology. Since then, I took the DAT exam and received a very high score, which allowed me to secure interviews from multiple Dental Schools across the country. I'm ready and willing to share the studying skills I acquired during my academic career to make my students' lives easier and achieve success. I was a biology and chemistry tutor at St. Louis Community College, where I led both group study sessions and 1-on-1 tutoring sessions. Every student on this campus had different learning styles and academic backgrounds. Therefore, I adapted my teaching styles to suit each student and make the sessions as efficient as possible. I also have experience tutoring children, including those with learning disabilities. I enjoy tutoring science the most. I love seeing the twinkle in the eye when my students have an "Aha" moment after understanding a new concept, which is which I love my job as a tutor. During my free time, I go to community services, watch soccer, and play guitar.

Ju
BA University of Michigan-Ann Arbor
4+ Years Tutoring

I am a undergraduate freshman of the University of Michigan, studying business at the Ross School of Business. Working together with students and having a good time while seeing steady improvements has proven to provide me great joy. I believe that communication and relationship building is crucial for students to open up about their struggles and also for me to identify problems they don't realize they can improve on, so this is a key aspect of all of my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing sports or snacking on desserts while binge-watching Friends!
