Christopher Koh

Chris was born and raised in the Chicago area and graduated cum laude from Harvard College as a concentrator in History & Literature of America. He also holds a MFA in Dramatic Writing & Directing from the Actors Studio MFA Program and a MBA in Strategy & Marketing from UCLA Anderson. 

After a diverse career spent in film production, development, and marketing including working on a successful Academy Award campaign, Chris spent eight years working for American Express in strategic marketing. However, he felt the itch to return to education - a passion first cultivated decades ago.

In addition to teaching everything from critical reading, writing, speaking, math, and test prep (TOEFL, SAT, ACT, SSAT) for over a decade, Chris has written critical reading English language textbooks/i-Books for the South Korean market. Furthermore, he has successfully helped numerous students with both college and business school applications. In the past, Chris served as an alumni interviewer for both Harvard and UCLA Anderson.

A lifelong cinephile and gourmand, Chris is always happy to talk about movies and food. He's equally happy listening to the Beatles, reading Murakami novels, and seeing live Shakespeare. However, Chris's greatest satisfaction lies in helping students achieve their goals.
