John has had a genuine passion for essay writing since he was in college, helping his peers successfully fulfill their various academic essay needs. The root of his love for words lies in the beauty of human cognitive faculties, making it possible for us to transform thoughts into a beautiful piece of writing. By relying on his strong academic background in philosophy, psychology and cognitive science, John has striven to better understand how we humans acquire a language, express our thoughts using words and produce written sentences in a coherent, structured and organized manner.

Bee generally loves to organize and systemize things in order. She strongly believes that with a well-organized, business-like mindset, most of individuals’ struggles can be converted to opportunities. When Bee was pursuing a Master’s degree in the U.K., she witnessed many of her friends struggling with writing academic essays, owing to, for the most part, poor time management skills. She ultimately realized that anyone could write satisfactory essays with the right guidance and highly efficient system.　　　

Bee provides comprehensive counseling services in Korean to the parents for Grades 7-12 to effectively address inquiries and concerns about consulting process, essay programs and others.

Prior to co-founding J&B in 2012, Bee worked as a business consultant at private companies and government agencies in South Korea and the U.S., mainly leveraging startups by providing appropriate guidance considering each entity’s own uniqueness and strengths. Her goal at J&B is to create an essay consulting process that truly can help many students around the world with essay writing.
