Korean Tutors : 1-1 Korean Preparation

I’m a first-year medical student at Imperial College London, and I still remember what it felt like to be on the other side of exams, entrance tests, and medicine applications. I achieved all 9s and one 8 at GCSE, scored in the top 5% of the UCAT, and served as Head Girl at my secondary school. While I’m proud of these achievements, what they really reflect is consistency, balance and learning how to study smart – not just hard.

As the eldest daughter of a first-generation immigrant Korean family, I grew up with responsibility and high expectations, but also the quiet doubts that can come with them. This part of my identity is why I’m especially passionate about helping students who may be struggling with studies or applications – because I’ve genuinely been there myself.

I’m friendly, patient, and easy-going, and I aim to create a space where students feel comfortable asking ‘silly’ questions (which are never actually silly!). I particularly enjoy mentoring aspiring medics with UCAT preparation, personal statements, and interview practice, offering sometimes brutally honest but practical advice from experience.

Alongside my studies, I’m part of Imperial Medics Women’s Football, which keeps me grounded and reminds me of the importance of balance. Above all, I want my students not only to achieve top grades, but to feel confident and proud of how far they’ve come.

I am a recent Oxford graduate (Master’s) and am passionate about Psychology and academic research. I love inspiring students by sharing my knowledge engagingly as well as fostering critical thinking skills instead of sole memorisation. I enjoy getting to know my students and genuinely interacting with them, and watching them develop to unlock their full potential.

Growing up, I enjoyed playing music such as the violin and piano, and also picked up the ukulele during the pandemic lockdown. In my spare time, I love to travel. I recently returned from a one-month trip to China where I worked as a teacher for a Winter English Camp and also got to enjoy exploring different cities. I thoroughly enjoyed living abroad in South Korea during my exchange programme, as well as Hawaii during my gap year.
