I'm an experienced tutor and coach in English (reading, writing, grammar, composition), government, political science, law and LSAT prep.

I can help you improve your grades or advance your career. I have a great deal of experience working with ESL learners, including speakers of Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, and other languages. For the time being, I work exclusively online but will also consider in-person meetings in the Berkeley/Oakland area once the public health environment has improved.

I can teach you how to write effective essays, academic papers, business presentations, website copy, marketing material, correspondence, emails, business plans, executive summaries, resumes, and many other types of writing. I have helped my students prepare successfully for the TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, the verbal portions of the GMAT and MCAT, and a number of other exams. I'm also available for quick editing and proofreading assignments.

If you're a law or paralegal student, I can teach substantive legal topics, legal writing and research skills, and exam prep.

Contact me, and I'll design a tutoring plan that best suits your needs!

Government & Politics

I have an undergraduate degree in Political Science (with a minor in Asian Studies) and a J.D. in Law. I have a background studying American government, the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Court system, and U.S. legislation and regulations. I have also studied political and economic development in Asia (with an emphasis on Korea and Japan). I can help you do research, write papers, and study for exams on a wide range of government-related topics.

Law

I have a J.D. degree from UC Berkeley and am an active member of the California State Bar. I have handled litigation in both federal and California state courts, and I’ve also worked on a range of transactional and business matters (including contracts, licensing agreements, etc.). With this wide-ranging background, I have had a successful track record tutoring law students, paralegal students, and students training to be legal assistants. I can help you with your substantive law courses, legal research and writing, and exam prep. Whether you want to learn how to cite cases in a brief, how to understand procedural rules, or how to master writing answers to essay questions, I can be the resource you need!

I have a J.D. in Law from UC Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall). I have worked to help students improve on each section of the LSAT (reading comprehension, logical reasoning, and logic games). I work one-on-one with students to practice test-taking techniques and time management strategies. I am happy to help students enrolled in LSAT courses with extra practice, as well as students who are engaged in self-study.
Proofreading

Proofreading

Do you need someone to help you with your homework, essay, resume, article, or other document? I can help! I proofread and edit a wide range of documents, including essays, academic papers, business documents (business plans, website copy, white papers, marketing material, etc.), letters, legal documents, books, articles, and much more! I work quickly and accurately, and I can show you what I corrected so that you can improve your own writing. I can also help you during the research and writing process, if necessary. I am familiar with typical stylistic and citation formats, such as MLA, APA, Bluebook, CMS (Chicago) and AP. I’m happy to work with short deadlines!
TOEFL

I spent several years teaching students in South Korea to take the TOEFL and IELTS exams. I have also worked with students from a wide range of other countries (China, Japan, Turkey, Egypt, Italy, Brazil, Russia, and more) achieve the TOEFL or IELTS scores they need. For the reading and listening comprehension sections of the test, I focus on vocabulary building, reading/listening strategies, note-taking practice and question-type analysis. For the speaking and writing sections, I focus on creating answer templates, improving pronunciation and organization, and using transitions correctly.

Lsat Prep Test

We went through technical role questions and Janet broke each question down for me to really understand what I was doing wrong. She was patient with me through the whole process. Really helped me understand the question.

Janet is a Wonderful Exam Prep Asset

Janet is incredible to work with. She is always there with smart suggestions, and a compassionate energy. She hears what you need and chimes in when necessary. It’s always so refreshing to have somebody, that lets you explain what you need, and what your goals are, then works with what she is provided, to design a good path to follow. I highly recommend Janet. She has been a huge help and a nice presence on my journey.

Honest, efficient, and knowledgeable law tutor.

I worked with Janet for 2 sessions to get myself ready for 1L. She was really helpful and encouraging, and made time to look at my practice briefs/exam questions before we met. I'm amazed by how much we managed to cover. Janet was also very honest - we had initially thought we needed 4 sessions, but she felt I was ready after only 2 sessions. I was really impressed by that and will come back to her whenever I have questions in law school.

excellent tutor

Janet is truly a talented teacher. She helped elucidate the question types that I struggled with the most. She’s a very patient tutor and compassionate. I was having difficulty with the LG and LR sections, but she taught me how to approach the questions to cut down on the time I was spending answering the questions. Through her guidance and skillful strategies, she helped me become more confident in choosing the correct answers for all sections. I highly recommend her as a tutor! I will be studying with her again.

Such a great tutor!

Great tutoring session! Janet really helped me work on my logic games and prepare even more for the November LSAT. I definitely think I can get into the 150’s by then.
