Hi! I am Hudson, a recent graduate of the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, where I spent my final year studying at Harvard Law School through the Berkeley-Harvard Exchange Program. Before law school, I earned by B.A. in history and Japanese language from Vassar College, where I graduated with departmental honors. During law school, I earned the Prosser Prize (awarded to second highest ranking student in the class) in Advanced Legal Writing and was also awarded Best Respondent Brief in the McBaine Honors Moot Court Competition. Finally, I received a score of 173 on the LSAT and a 34 on the ACT, and I bring firsthand experience of what these exams actually reward.
My tutoring experience began with one-on-one college application essay coaching for high school students, guiding them from brainstorming through final drafts while making sure the finished essay still sounded like them, being sure to teach structure, argumentation, and revision, never ghostwriting. I also spent nine years. I also spent nine years in the Army, where I regularly trained and mentored junior soldiers from all kinds of backgrounds, often teaching technical material to complete beginners. For test prep, I like to begin with a diagnostic practice test so we know exactly where points are being lost, then build a targeted plan around the reasoning behind each question type rather than memorized tricks.
Finally, I'm a native Mandarin speaker who grew up partly in Shanghai, and I hold JLPT N2 certification in Japanese after living and studying in Japan. I'm easy to reach and always provide fast responses. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions or to schedule a lesson!
