Biography

Justine graduated summa cum laude from the University of California, Los Angeles, where she majored in English and minored in Film, Television, and Digital Media and was recognised with College Honours and Departmental Highest Honours and appeared on the Dean’s List . Her work bridges literature, storytelling, and critical analysis — a combination that shapes her thoughtful, creative approach to tutoring.

At UCLA, she served as President of the English Honor Society and presented original research on nineteenth-century British and Irish literature at conferences hosted by UCLA, UC Berkeley, and Johns Hopkins University. Her academic excellence and editorial experience — including roles at Stanford University Press, University of Washington Press, and Getty Publications — reflect her precision, intellectual curiosity, and command of language.

Approach to Tutoring

Justine believes writing is both a craft and a conversation. She helps students refine their voice and argumentation through clarity, structure, and confidence. Her sessions emphasize analytical thinking, evidence-based writing, and adaptability across disciplines — equipping students not only to succeed in exams but to communicate persuasively in any setting.

When Not Tutoring

Beyond her editorial and teaching work, Justine enjoys exploring the intersection of literature and visual storytelling. Whether studying film, editing essays, or mentoring fellow writers, she brings creativity and rigor to everything she does — inspiring students to approach learning as both an art and a discipline.
