Claire is a graduate of the University of Washington, where she majored in international studies with a focus on cybersecurity, and later completed advanced studies at Peking University. She spent four years working and living in Taiwan and China before returning to the U.S. to work full-time as a legal professional.

Her tutoring philosophy prioritizes maximal efficiency, strong formal logic, and a highly repeatable process. She helps students get straight to the core of what matters by teaching them to decode the test's internal logic and diagnose the underlying patterns in both the exam and their own errors.

Outside of tutoring, Claire enjoys climbing, hiking, and continuing to improve her Mandarin language proficiency.
