Dr. Anna Kim
Frank started his path into educational services early on by studying philosophy with a focus on language and thought at the University of California, Berkeley. This provided a smooth transition into English education, which allowed him to teach abroad in South Korea for several years, gaining experience working with students from grade school to secondary school. After returning to California, he shifted focus to college readiness by working with a professional development based business centered on SAT/ACT preparedness at school districts across the country.
All the interactions with parents, students, fellow educators, and educational leaders across his entire professional career has led to a culmination of experience and skills that aim to achieve an important goal: fostering the academic talents of individual students to develop critically reflective learners ready to tackle the challenges they face in higher education and beyond.
