Hee-Eun Kim

Hee-Eun is an experienced Essay Coach with seven years of experience helping students gain admissions to top-tier universities and law schools in the United States. She is passionate about guiding students through the entire writing process, from brainstorming unique topics to refining them into essays that reflect each student’s personality.

Hee-Eun graduated cum laude from Columbia University with a BA in Political Science and earned her Master’s in American History with distinction from the University of Oxford. Her Master’s dissertation explored the fashion of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s, reflecting her interest in the intersection of the arts and storytelling. Building on her love for fashion, she has worked as a buyer at Bloomingdale’s and Amazon in New York and London. She believes that writing is much like getting dressed: choosing the right stories and details creates an essay that is personal and memorable.

Raised in both the UK and South Korea, Hee-Eun moved to New York for college and considers it her forever home, even though she is currently based in Boston. She prefers New York to any other city, is often overdressed, and loves to play squash.
