Introduction: Hi, my name is Jeewon! I am a current medical student at Loyola Stritch School of Medicine completing a research fellowship year. I have a substantial educational background spanning a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience and Psychology from Vanderbilt University, as well as a Master's in Medical Sciences from Loyola University Chicago. As you can see, I have been in school for a VERY long time (a forever student, as people always joke). However, it is my extensive tutoring experience that truly sets me apart. For nearly a decade, from 2012 to 2021, I have dedicated myself to private tutoring, specializing in math, science, and reading/writing to students from elementary through high school levels. My expertise in PSAT and SAT preparation is evidenced by my scores, with a 790 in Math, 750 in Writing, and 750 in Critical Reading on the SAT. My extensive tutoring experience has honed my ability to tailor lessons to individual learning styles and adapt my teaching methods to suit each student's needs. I've taught a wide variety of topics, from high school debate coach during undergrad, all the way to teaching cello to young, budding musicians. I love teaching. It's both an art and a service, and a large part of why I entered the medical field. My favorite success story is when I worked with a 7th grader, who was brought to me (begrudgingly) by her mom, who was concerned that she was going to stay a straight B/C student for the rest of her academic career. I worked with this student consistently for 2 years, 3 times a week. By the time she started high school, she was on the Honor roll, and honestly, didn't need tutoring from me anymore. I taught her to be confident in her abilities, and gave her the proper tools to organize and optimize her study habits so that she can become a strong learner for life. This story is the crux of why I love to teach. I'm excited to work with you soon.

Jeewon is an awesome tutor! I have sessions with her for my human anatomy class. For our sessions she really focuses on what I need to know in order to make full use of our time together. She is also incredibly skilled in simplifying a topic in order for me to process and understand it. I 100% recommend Jeewon as a tutor!

Ms. Jeewon was a blessing as a tutor in biology this past year for my son. He was having such a hard time in the class as he wasn't able to understand certain concepts and was getting really worried about his grade, but after getting tutored by Ms. Jeewon, he really turned it around! Maybe it's the fact that she's in medical school, but she has a skill for explaining complicated biology pathways or concepts in simple terms and really helped my son properly understand difficult or confusing subjects. She not only was an amazing teacher, she also checked to make sure he understood concepts correctly by having him explain it back to her. She pulled my son's grade up from an 85 to a 90 and he genuinely enjoys the sciences thanks to her! Would definitely recommend her as a tutor in any and all science subjects!

Jeewon is an exceptional MCAT tutor whose intelligence, expertise, and personalized approach were instrumental in helping me achieve a score that exceeded my expectations. From the very first session, she demonstrated a remarkable ability to identify my knowledge gaps and adapt her teaching style to address my specific needs. Jeewon's gift for breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable pieces, combined with her patience and encouragement, created a supportive learning environment that allowed me to thrive. Beyond her mastery of the MCAT curriculum, Jeewon provided invaluable guidance on effective test-taking strategies and helped me develop an efficient study plan. Her dedication and support were crucial in keeping me motivated throughout my MCAT preparation journey. Thanks to Jeewon's outstanding tutoring, I not only reached my goal score but surpassed it. I am immensely grateful for the knowledge and skills she imparted to me, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking to excel on this challenging exam.
