I am a graduate of Colgate University, where I earned a B.A. with a double major in History and Educational Studies, graduating summa cum laude and receiving the Award for Excellence in History. I also earned my Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law.

At Colgate, I worked as a tutor at the university’s Writing and Speaking Center, providing one-on-one support to college students. I helped students at every stage of the writing process, including brainstorming, outlining, thesis development, organization, drafting, revising, and proofreading. I also worked with students on oral presentations and communication skills. My Educational Studies background complemented this experience by giving me a strong foundation in teaching and learning.

I am particularly well suited to tutor writing, English, reading comprehension, history, and related humanities subjects. My History degree, law school education, and professional legal experience have required extensive research, close reading, analytical writing, and clear communication. As a law student and legal professional, I have researched complex issues and drafted briefs, reports, letters, and other professional documents.

My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and individualized. I adapt my approach to each student’s learning style, goals, and academic level. Rather than simply correcting an assignment, I explain the reasoning behind my feedback so students develop skills they can apply independently. My goal is not only to help students improve a particular paper or assignment, but also to help them become more confident writers, critical thinkers, and independent learners.

Approved Subjects

American History

American History

I graduated from Colgate University with a double major in History and Educational Studies, earning high honors for my undergraduate History thesis. I also hold a Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego School of Law, where I further developed my skills in historical analysis, research, and persuasive writing. I have extensive tutoring experience through Colgate University's Writing and Speaking Center, where I helped students strengthen their analytical writing, research, and critical thinking skills. I enjoy helping students understand American history, connect historical events to broader themes, and develop strong historical arguments for essays, exams, and coursework.
English

English

I have a strong academic background in English-related reading, writing, and analysis. At Colgate University, I majored in History and Educational Studies, earning High Honors in History and Honors in Educational Studies after completing thesis work in both fields, and I also worked at the university’s Writing and Speaking Center. I later earned my J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law, where I further developed advanced reading, writing, research, and analytical skills. I am experienced in helping students improve reading comprehension, essay writing, grammar, organization, argument development, and overall written communication.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I have extensive experience with academic essay writing across the humanities and social sciences, including History, Educational Studies, and law. As an undergraduate at Colgate University, I worked at the Writing and Speaking Center and spent four years helping students improve their essays through stronger organization, clearer arguments, effective use of evidence, and careful revision. I also completed two honors-level undergraduate theses and continued developing advanced analytical writing skills throughout law school. I can help students at every stage of the essay-writing process, from brainstorming and outlining to drafting, editing, and polishing a final submission.
Legal Writing

Legal Writing

I am a graduate of the University of San Diego School of Law with extensive experience in legal research, analysis, and writing. Throughout law school, I completed substantial writing projects across multiple areas of law, including seminar papers, legal memoranda, briefs, and research assignments requiring careful use of legal authority and persuasive analysis. I also bring several years of tutoring and writing-center experience from my undergraduate studies at Colgate University, where I helped students strengthen organization, clarity, argumentation, and editing skills. I can help students improve every stage of the legal writing process, from developing a strong thesis and organizing an argument to refining citations, sentence structure, and overall persuasiveness.
Reading

Reading

I have extensive experience with close reading, critical analysis, and comprehension across the humanities, social sciences, and law. At Colgate University, I worked at the Writing and Speaking Center and helped students analyze complex texts, identify main ideas and supporting evidence, and develop stronger interpretations. My undergraduate honors work in History and Educational Studies, followed by law school, required careful reading of dense academic and legal materials. I can help students improve reading comprehension, annotation, critical thinking, and their ability to confidently discuss and write about what they read.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

I have extensive experience with long-form academic research and thesis writing across multiple disciplines. At Colgate University, I completed a High Honors thesis in History as well as an Honors thesis in Educational Studies, both of which required substantial independent research, source analysis, organization, and revision. I am especially experienced in helping students develop a clear thesis, structure complex arguments, integrate primary and secondary sources, and strengthen academic writing. I can support students throughout the entire thesis process, from refining a research question and outlining chapters to revising for clarity, cohesion, and persuasiveness.
