Our Team

The two of us behind Chirp.

We're two recent graduates heading to MIT and Dartmouth this fall. We just went through the whole college process ourselves — so we know exactly how confusing it can be, and we started Chirp to make it clearer and more affordable for the students coming up behind us.

Zhenkang Wu
Zhenkang Wu
MIT ’30

Zhenkang is heading to MIT this fall for biological engineering. He is available and confident to work with students on applications, essays, and college guidance, and tutors math, science, and SAT prep. Zhenkang is also passionate in long distance running, weight lifting, endurance sports, and tennis. He has completed an Ironman 70.3 as well as a Marathon. He also loves a casual walk in the Fells or a nice hike in the White Mountains.

Ian Tomase
Ian Tomase
Dartmouth ’30

Ian is heading to Dartmouth this fall for biochemistry. He is available and confident to work with students on applications, essays, and college guidance, and tutors English, science, math, and can help with SAT prep. He is the class valedictorian graduating with a 5.23 GPA and has earned a signfnificant amount of academic and athletic awards in his High school years. Ian is also a three season varsity athlete competing at the States level for his High school's Cross Country team.

Between the two of us we cover college applications and essays, plus tutoring in math, science, and English.

We started Chirp so any ambitious student can get real and actionable guidance and tutoring without the hefty price tag. Whether you're chasing your dream school or just trying to get through your AP classes, we're here — with a free first session, fair rates, and need-based support for students who need it.
