Hello! My name is Shana, and I am dedicated to helping students become stronger, more confident writers.
I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a degree in English before earning my Juris Doctor from Tulane University, where I was Article Editor for the Tulane Law Review. I'm a published author and practicing attorney, and have spent my career writing, editing, and communicating professionally at the highest level.
For ten years, I have worked one-on-one with students, helping them to craft compelling personal statements and secondary essays for college, graduate school, and medical school admissions. I've also tutored ACT and SAT English/Writing and have helped students dramatically improve their scores. My students have earned admission to MIT, Harvard, Dartmouth, Duke, Cornell, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Pepperdine, USC, and many more. Whether you're preparing for a standardized test, struggling with an English assignment, or applying to your dream school, my goal is not only to improve your writing but also to teach you the skills and confidence to succeed independently.
Because every student learns differently, I tailor each lesson to the student's individual goals and learning style. My sessions are creative, engaging, encouraging, and practical. I provide clear, defined feedback that leads to measurable improvement, and I look forward to helping you achieve your goals!
