Hi! I’m Hope, an undergraduate at Harvard pursuing an A.B. in Government and Economics. I am passionate about politics, the law, and I’m especially interested in criminal justice reform. I truly believe that I wouldn’t be anywhere I am today without the guidance of tutors and mentors, which is why I care deeply about giving back and helping students achieve their academic ambitions!
The subjects I tutor include: test prep (PSAT/SAT & ISEE/SSAT), Reading Comprehension, Writing, Elementary & Middle School Math, and College Essay writing.
Outside of academics, I enjoy singing, trying new restaurants, volunteering, and spending time with close friends and family. As a Los Angeles girl now living in Cambridge, there’s nothing I miss more than drives down the PCH after a long day of swimming and relaxing at the beach. Excited to meet you all!
