I am an Ivy League-educated attorney and educator with over a decade of experience helping students strengthen their communication, organization, and analytical skills. I also earned my minor in African American Studies at Cornell University, where I explored topics in history, literature, and social thought. My background in law allows me to teach both practical and academic subjects, including persuasive writing, critical thinking, public speaking, debate, and spelling.

As a neurodivergent professional, I understand that every student learns differently. I create an inclusive, flexible learning environment that supports focus, confidence, and curiosity. My approach is patient, encouraging, and adaptable to each student’s needs and learning pace. I focus on building confidence through understanding and structure rather than memorization.

Whether we are preparing for a competition, improving essay clarity, or developing study habits, my goal is to help students think clearly and express themselves effectively. I have worked with learners from elementary school through graduate programs, offering guidance in writing, reading comprehension, and argument development. Students often tell me they leave sessions feeling more capable and focused, which is the best feedback I could ask for.

Approved Subjects

African American Studies

I earned my minor in African American Studies at Cornell University, where I explored topics in history, literature, and social thought. My academic background gave me a strong foundation in critical analysis, intersectionality, and cultural expression within the African American experience. I help students understand key themes, connect historical context to modern issues, and strengthen their writing and critical thinking skills. I also create a supportive space for open discussion and reflection on identity, culture, and social impact.
Bar Exam

Bar Exam

I am licensed to practice law in both New York and California, two of the most challenging bar jurisdictions in the country. I passed the New York Bar on my first attempt in 2009 and was admitted to the California Bar in 2021. With over 15 years of legal experience, I understand both the substance and strategy required for bar success. I help students strengthen essay structure, issue-spotting, and time management, while building the confidence and discipline needed to perform under pressure.

I help students unlock their voice through storytelling, essays, and personal narratives. I’m Ivy League-educated with years of writing, editing, and mentoring experience, and I tailor my approach to each student’s goals. My teaching style is supportive, practical, and focused on helping writers express ideas with confidence and clarity. Whether you’re polishing a short story or crafting a compelling essay, I’ll help you refine your work while keeping your authentic voice intact.
Debate

Debate

As an Ivy League-educated attorney, I have extensive experience crafting persuasive arguments and teaching others how to think critically and communicate with confidence. My background in law and public speaking helps students strengthen their reasoning, organization, and delivery skills in both formal and informal debate settings. I work with students on argument development, rebuttals, tone, and presence, creating a supportive environment where they can practice thinking on their feet and expressing ideas clearly.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I teach students how to organize ideas clearly and write with purpose, whether for school assignments, personal statements, or professional writing. I’m Ivy League-educated with years of experience mentoring writers at all levels. My approach focuses on clarity, flow, and persuasion while helping each student develop their authentic voice. Together, we’ll strengthen your writing from brainstorming through final polish.
