About Alice

With 7+ years of dedicated experience in education, I am passionate about empowering students to reach their academic goals. As a full-time tutor and classroom instructor, I specialize in helping students elevate their test scores (SAT/ACT/HSEE) while also providing guidance in other areas, such as math/English classes and personal statements for college applications. Prior to joining Academic Approach and Quad Education, leading test prep agencies, I collaborated with the Orange County Department of Education to support foster and at-risk youth. I've also worked with top agencies like TutorNerds and Tutor Doctor. As a graduate of UCLA and the University of Chicago in English, I am a wordsmith and grammar expert when it comes to crafting personal statements for any application, especially college applications. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy working with students and parents on these essays; it's incredibly rewarding to see students learn more deeply about who they are throughout the process (let alone the excitement of getting into their top schools!) I've worked in all types of settings: classrooms, 1-on-1 (in person/virtual), and small groups. I've been told by students and parents that I explain the subject material in a way that's engaging and easy for the student to understand. Through a blend of teaching and subject expertise, I meet students where they are to facilitate a supportive learning environment where every student can thrive. The first consultation is free, and the first session is half off! Feel free to reach out with any questions. :)

Why do I coach?

School was more than just a place for me; it was a safe space where I could show what I was capable of. It's where I discovered my love of learning, and doing well in school became my passport to a world with opportunities I didn't know existed. From learning English and math to how to run a business, learning has become my superpower. From helping my older cousins with math, Latin, and English back in elementary school to guiding students through their academic hurdles today, the joy of witnessing that "aha" moment never gets old. There's something incredibly fulfilling about seeing someone's confidence grow as they conquer challenges they didn't think possible. Whether it's decoding a complex math problem or crafting a winning personal statement, I thrive on simplifying the seemingly overwhelming and making it engaging. My approach is all about breaking things down into bite-size steps while keeping our sessions fun and effective. What drives me is to instill that love of learning in my students. For me, knowledge truly is power. It's the key to unlocking doors you didn't even imagine possible. That's why I'm dedicated to empowering students to embrace learning, not just as a means to an end but as a lifelong journey toward self-discovery and limitless possibilities. So, whether you're child is aiming to ace that exam, tackle a tough assignment, or chart a course for their academic future, I would love to guide them every step of the way.
