About
Cindy graduated from Gyeonggi Suwon International School (GSIS) with a Bilingual IB Diploma after a decade of study in the US. She completed her Bachelor's in Psychology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign **a full year early**, then earned her Master's in Psychology from the University of Chicago. Her cheerful, witty style makes complex literary analysis approachable — especially for students who don't think of themselves as "English people."
Teaching Style
Gap diagnosis and targeted closure
Starts by identifying exactly where each student loses marks in literary analysis, then provides granular feedback to close those specific gaps.
Literary analysis as learnable craft
Makes abstract ideas clear — showing that literary analysis is a craft with learnable rules, not mysterious intuition.
Helping science students with English
Especially effective for science-track students who must take IB English but find the subject hard to understand — translating analytical thinking across disciplines.
