I'm a healthcare strategy consultant and recent graduate from the University of Pennsylvania. I double majored in Neuroscience and Hispanic Studies, and received minors in Health Services Management and Chemistry.

I first started tutoring for the TOEFL in 2016, after receiving a perfect score myself on the test. Throughout my journey, I've not only helped students improve their test scores, but also have bettered their written and spoken English abilities with assigned readings and skill exercises outside of class. Watching the progression of my students' improvements has been one of the most satisfying experiences I've obtained.

After gaining admissions to Penn, I found I had an aptitude in helping others (friends, my TOEFL students coming to me for essay-writing advice) elucidate what they were trying to deliver in their common-app essays. That same year, I edited some of my close friends' essays, who gained admissions to Princeton and Stanford respectively. Since then, I have been helping students gain admissions to schools of their choice by workshopping their common app, supplementals, and reviewing their activities lists. My most frequently-received feedback is that I take time to understand the ideas my students wants to deliver, and help them put it to words without compromising the integrity and creativity of their original thoughts.

Here are some of my qualifications:

- I received a 120 (perfect score) on the TOEFL when I took it myself in 2016.
- Since then, I've helped more than 45 students improve their test scores by ~20%. My students ranged between 14-26 years old.

Nothing parallels the gratification of receiving that text from my students about gaining admissions into their dream school, or helping a student attain a score previously unimaginable on the TOEFL. I'm more than excited to talk with you about your goals and help you alongside this journey!

Reliable and patient TOEFL tutor

Lilian is a trustworthy ESL tutor. She has both excellent reading and writing skills. I used to scare of writing, but she changes my attitude entirely. She encouraged me to write essays, and always gives me quick feedback. has the ability to break down a problem to be easy pieces and explain well to me. She gives me a lot of unique insights as well when I meet some challenging topics and don't know how to start. After I have done my essays, she will go over the essay I wrote and revise my mistakes carefully. I got a significant improvement since these study process. If you are looking for a good writing private tutor, please don't hesitate in choosing her.

Great tutor!

Lilian diligently explained any confusion I had and provided an excellent framework for which I can practice my TOEFL writing. I felt that our lesson was very helpful in terms of understanding the goals of the TOEFL exam and how to pace myself in order to adequately prepare. Lilian is not hesitant to point out my errors and does not sugar coat my mistakes, which I find very helpful when trying to improve my English abilities.
