Hey! My name is Joyce, and I’m an undergraduate at Harvard College studying economics and computer science. Recently, I’ve also studied abroad at Oxford University. When I’m not at school, I call Upstate New York home!
I first started tutoring during high school, and it quickly grew into a passion of mine — especially test prep and economics tutoring. I particularly love working with high school students because I’m always learning from them, even as I teach!
At Harvard, I’m involved in the Chinese Students Association, Smart Woman Securities, and Global Platinum Securities. Outside of classes, I also love exploring Boston, trying new foods, and playing poker with friends.
