Tutoring Business
After completing my internship at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and at the age of 24, I founded an academic tutoring business (Flight Tutoring) in Irvine, California that focused on educating students in math and science. Despite lacking prior business experience, I registered my business, filed a DBA, established a robust web presence, spearheaded targeted advertising campaigns, offered client-based scheduling functionalities, built macros that streamlined record keeping, used a secure third-party online payment processor for charging client cards, and offered a service that helped students excel in their academic pursuits. Although I closed the business due to a shift in career pursuits, I strongly believe that the skills I gained from starting and operating a small business will contribute to my long-term career.
