I am an Ivy League educated lawyer with 25 years of experience as a lawyer, career counselor and writing professor who is available to tutor undergraduate and law students. My background includes advising and coaching students at Yale, Penn, and Stanford Law School.

I take a highly individualized approach to tutoring and conduct assessments to identify students' learning styles and study habits. In addition, I have extensive experience at working with students from diverse backgrounds, including those with learning disabilities including ADD and ADHD.

Finally, I offer comprehensive support to both undergraduate and law students on career opportunities. I can assist with all aspects of the career search including resume review, cover letter writing, networking, mock interviews, and negotiating offers. In addition, I have broad and deep connections to literally hundreds of nationwide employers through my work at Yale, Penn and Stanford, and in many cases can arrange for students to have personal networking interviews with prospective employers.
