About Us
TOMUJIN ACADEMY was founded on a simple belief — talent is universal, but opportunity often isn't.
For over a decade, we've guided thousands of students to world-class universities, combining data-driven strategy with mentorship that builds purpose and confidence.
Now based in Irvine, our team brings this proven global system to Orange County families — helping every student turn potential into results.
Our 3 Promises
At TOMUJIN, we believe education is the most powerful way to change lives. That's why we commit to three promises that guide everything we do.
Expand Opportunity
Creating pathways for talent from every background.
Ensure Access
Financial aid so ability, not income, determines opportunity.
Empower Potential
Guiding students to lead lives of meaning and impact.

"Before joining Tomujin, I thought college admissions were all about perfect grades and test scores. But through the program, I learned that it's really about understanding yourself — your story, your values, and your purpose. Head counselors helped me see the bigger picture of who I am and who I want to become."
The volunteer projects and workshops pushed me outside my comfort zone. I built confidence, learned how to express my ideas, and grew as a person — not just as a student."
When I got accepted into my dream university with full financial aid, I realized Tomujin didn't just prepare my application — it prepared me for life."
Real Impact. Real Results.
We go beyond applications and test scores to help students build experiences that shape their lives — not just their résumés.





"When I joined Tomujin, I wanted to challenge myself beyond academics — to find clarity about who I am and what I want to create in the world.
Every project, volunteer experience, and late-night reflection helped me realize that education isn't just about achievement — it's about purpose and impact. Working with real organizations and leading my own initiative showed me that I could make meaningful change even as a student.
My mentors at Tomujin didn't just teach me how to write about my experiences; they helped me live experiences worth writing about.
Getting into Stanford with full financial aid was a dream come true, but the real victory was discovering how my story, curiosity, and actions can shape a better future. Tomujin helped me see that the world is as big as the change I'm willing to make."

"I joined Tomujin because I wanted to grow in ways traditional education couldn't offer — to connect what I was learning with who I was becoming.
At Tomujin, growth wasn't limited to academics. Through projects, mentorship, and reflection, I learned to lead with both intellect and empathy. Each experience — from community work to essay sessions — helped me connect my ideas with action and my goals with purpose.
What makes Tomujin special is how deeply it develops every part of a student: the mind that questions, the heart that cares, and the hands that create.
By the time I applied to Harvard, I wasn't just prepared for college — I was prepared to live with meaning, curiosity, and courage."
