About Me

ChatGPT Image Apr 23, 2026, 10_11_12 PM.png

I’m Hailin (pronounced Hi-Lin), an educator with over five years of experience guiding students through high-stakes exams including the ISEE, SHSAT, HSPT, SAT/ACT, and AP assessments.

 

My teaching philosophy is simple: test preparation should build true confidence, not fear. My approach blends personalized study plans, targeted skill development, and a calm, steady presence that meets each student where they are.

​

Every student receives individualized instruction that strengthens academic and test-taking mastery. Together, we will identify gaps, refine timing, and build disciplined habits that extend beyond a single exam, while cultivating the confidence to walk into test day feeling focused and prepared.

​

Whether preparing for specialized or private NYC schools or applying to selective colleges, my goal is to provide thoughtful, strategic guidance that supports both performance and long-term growth.

Students &
Parents Say

"My son has been working with Hailin on the SHSAT and ISEE since last spring. She’s been absolutely wonderful - patient, thoughtful, and incredibly effective in helping him build both skills and confidence. He took the ISEE last week, and his scores were amazing - a true reflection of his hard work and the steady progress he’s made with Hailin’s guidance. Beyond the results, he’s really enjoyed working with her and feels their sessions have made a big difference in how he approaches challenging material."​
