For over 15 years, David Yum has built a reputation for one thing above all: the fastest, most efficient score gains in the room. Every student's error patterns are diagnosed from the first session, and instruction is built entirely around closing those gaps. No wasted sessions, no generic curriculum. Just the shortest path to the highest score.

• Group sessions ($120/session)

  Fall and spring cycles, structured around the major test dates. Small groups for consistent pacing and peer accountability.

• Intensive programs ($150/session)

  Full-day sessions during school breaks: Thanksgiving, midwinter, spring, and summer. Designed for students who need concentrated progress in a short window.

• 1-on-1 tutoring ($150/hour)

  Scheduled as needed. Ideal for targeted work on specific sections or for students with irregular school calendars.

Elite universities are not looking for more credentials. They are looking for a coherent, compelling identity. David Yum handles every part of that process: the strategic positioning, the narrative, and every word of every application, from the personal statement to the last supplemental essay.

• Admissions strategy and college list

  Positioning diagnosis, school selection, and a clear narrative framework, completed before any application work begins.

• Activity list and profile development

  Strategic reframing of existing activities into a unified identity. Includes prioritization and language for the Common App activity section.

• Personal statement

  Main Common App essay, from concept development through final edit.

• School applications

  All supplemental essays included per school. Early Decision and Regular Decision applications handled separately.

• FAFSA and CSS Profile advising

For families who want every part of the process handled in one place, under one person, with full visibility into the plan at every stage.
