"Hello, my name is Ryu, and I am an MBA Candidate at NYU Stern School of Business (ranked #7 nationally). With a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the University of Rochester (top 30) and experience working with over 11 tutors, I’ve encountered a variety of teaching methods. I tailor my teaching to students’ learning styles using approaches like lecture-style instruction, Socratic seminars, and case studies—my personal favorite. As a former Japanese tutor, I’ve honed the ability to adapt to individual needs and quickly identify effective methods for each student. My goal is to learn as much about my students as they learn from me.

I specialize in strategy, marketing, management, and the economics of organizational architecture. Preparing for a consulting career and leveraging case-based learning, I excel at analyzing business challenges using structured frameworks. Drawing on internships at HubSpot, Aflac, and Broadway Podcast Network, as well as my entrepreneurial journey, I bring hands-on experience solving real-world problems. We’ll also analyze Harvard Business Review case studies (e.g., Disney, Gap, MoviePass) to extract actionable insights.

As the founder of a boutique marketing agency, I’ve learned the importance of understanding motivations. Many people are driven by external factors like prestige or hierarchy. Whether you're a high school student looking to get ahead or a college student seeking clarity, my goal is to help you uncover your intrinsic motivation—the passion that fuels success. Success isn’t just IQ + EQ; it’s driven by genuine curiosity as well.

My teaching goes beyond imparting knowledge; I aim to provide a fresh perspective on your career and aspirations. I look forward to teaching you and hopefully inspiring you along the way." less...
