Christine Ko (at left, with Homework Help co-tutor Dipti Kanthilal), a senior at Mission San Jose High School, loves to communicate and work with people of all ages. She regularly volunteers at Friends of Children with Special Needs—an organization that specializes in providing support, teachings, and life lessons to developmentally disabled children and their families. Her experience at Friends of Children with Special Needs has helped her acquire the balance of patience and assertiveness needed to communicate with children.  

When she has the chance, she helps her younger cousins, friends, and her parents' colleagues' children with their schoolwork. Her work experience includes interning at SDO Communications Corporations, doing basic data entry and packaging errands. As a pastime, Christine is also an active member of the youth branch of Tzu-Chi Foundation—a relief organization focused on disaster relief and community service. Christine has been a student at Mill Creek Academy since the 4^th grade; therefore, she is familiar with Mill Creek Academy's learning environment and comfortable communicating with the staff, students, and parents.
