I’m a writing and academic skills tutor with a Juris Doctor from the University of California, Davis School of Law (GPA 3.65; top 25% of my class) and a B.A. in Political Science, cum laude, from the University of California, San Diego. Law school sharpened my ability to write clearly under pressure, build strong arguments, and explain complex material in a way that’s organized and persuasive—skills I now use to help students improve their writing across subjects. I’ve also received recognition in legal writing and negotiation, which reflects the same core strengths: structure, clarity, and strong reasoning.

My tutoring style is practical and supportive. We start with your assignment prompt or rubric (or the expectations of your professor), and then I identify the one or two biggest changes that will improve your work the fastest. From there, we revise together so you can see exactly how to strengthen organization, thesis development, analysis, and sentence-level clarity. My goal is not just to “fix a paper,” but to help you build a repeatable process you can use on future essays and longer projects like thesis writing.

I have formal tutoring experience from a semester tutoring at Garfield High School, and I’ve also coached law students informally on law-school-style writing and analysis. I’m happy to work with students on academic writing, essay writing, thesis writing, and legal writing. I provide writing and academic coaching, not legal advice.

Approved Subjects

Law

Law

I am a licensed California attorney in good standing and I earned my J.D. from UC Davis School of Law (3.65 GPA, top 25%). I recently passed the California Bar Exam on my first attempt (July 2025), and I tutor law students on core legal concepts, legal reasoning, and exam strategy, including issue spotting and organizing rule based analysis. I also help students strengthen legal writing fundamentals such as IRAC and CREAC structure, clear rule statements, and persuasive application to facts. I provide academic support and coaching, not legal advice.
LSAT

LSAT

I scored a 165 on an official LSAT administration and earned multiple practice test scores above 170. I specialize in the sections that matter most now, Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning, and I focus on building repeatable methods for question types, passage strategy, and time management. My approach emphasizes understanding argument structure, identifying assumptions and flaws, and using efficient process of elimination rather than guessing. I provide structured practice plans, targeted review, and clear feedback so students improve accuracy and confidence quickly.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I’m a UC Davis School of Law J.D. who provides detailed proofreading and editing for students at the middle school, high school, undergraduate, graduate, and law school levels. I focus on grammar, punctuation, clarity, flow, and consistency while preserving your voice. I can work with essays, theses, research papers, personal statements, and application materials. You’ll leave with a cleaner draft and clear notes on the patterns to fix going forward.
Writing

Writing

I’m a UC Davis School of Law J.D. who specializes in helping students write clearly, persuasively, and with strong structure. I support high school, undergraduate, and graduate writers with thesis statements, outlines, argument development, organization, and sentence-level clarity. I also provide careful proofreading and revision coaching so you understand the “why” behind edits and can improve quickly. If you’re working on an essay, personal statement, or thesis, I’ll help you build a plan and produce a polished final draft.
