Hi, I'm Larry Hong, a Korean-American tutor with 10+ years of experience helping students build real understanding and not just tricks to get by in class. With an honors degree in Neuroscience from Brown University, I teach across the greater LA area, including students from schools like Harvard-Westlake.
Let’s Connect!
I provide one-on-one personalized long-term tutoring for students who need help building better study habits, organizational skills, and critical-thinking fundamentals. My philosophy is that better results come from understanding, not from just repeated memorization.
With an attention to detail and the right guidance, I believe that all students have the ability to find the motivation to succeed. I recognize each of my students is unique, and I make sure that my teaching focuses on areas for growth that create breakthrough moments. My hope is that my students are inspired, motivated, and more confident once they apply what they Learn with Larry.
