About Hannah


Bio

Hi I'm Hannah. I graduated from Oberlin College and Harvard Law School and since then I've been a trial attorney, a mediator and a tutor.

Part of the reason I love tutoring is because I loved school. As cheesy as it sounds, I love watching my students get excited about learning. When I'm tutoring I aim not only for students to get more proficient in a particular subject, but for students to become more confident in their abilities.

I have experience tutoring middle school, high school,...

Hi I'm Hannah. I graduated from Oberlin College and Harvard Law School and since then I've been a trial attorney, a mediator and a tutor.

Part of the reason I love tutoring is because I loved school. As cheesy as it sounds, I love watching my students get excited about learning. When I'm tutoring I aim not only for students to get more proficient in a particular subject, but for students to become more confident in their abilities.

I have experience tutoring middle school, high school, and college students in a variety of subjects and SAT/LSAT prep. I've been trained by Scholar Match in college prep and have assisted students in this process. That includes exam prep, crafting applications, making balanced college lists and essay brainstorming and editing.

My main tenet when it comes to tutoring is that no student learns the same way. I like to start a tutoring relationship by engaging with my student to figure out the best way to work together, what their learning style is, and how they like to receive feedback. I like to make sure to spend each session in a variety of different modalities to keep students engaged. That might mean in the course of an hour we have time where I present to a student, a student presents to me, we review practice questions and we discuss a topic. I also leave time at the end of every session for my tutee to give feedback on their learning experience so that I can make sure to best tailor my approach.

Criminal Justice

Public Speaking

Public Speaking

As a former actor and trial attorney I have plenty of experience with public speaking. I've done over 50 trials, and appeared in multiple stage productions. I know how scary public speaking can be, and I know how to help you prepare for it. While in law school, I helped train other student attorneys prepare for prison disciplinary or court hearings in which the student's public speaking skill could have a huge impact on someone else's life. I helped them prepare what they were going to say, how they were going to say it, and how to deal with unpredictable situations.

College Counseling

I've worked with students starting from the beginning of their senior year of high school through college acceptance and decision. That means brainstorming and helping students craft their application essay, standardized test prep. I've also helped on the actual application itself. I've helped students create resumed that highlight the work they've done and find scholarships that they qualify for. I've even helped students research colleges and find ones they might never have thought of! I received a great deal of my training as a mentor for Scholar Match. I've also worked with students applying to graduate school including medical, law, social work and PhD programs.

A huge help!

Hannah's help with my college essays has been a godsend during an incredibly stressful time. I wouldn't say the process became a walk in the park or anything, but it definitely takes a lot of the pressure off knowing she has my back! My applications are much stronger now, and not only that, her coaching has helped me become a better writer.

She definitely knew what she was talking about

She helped me come up with an outline when I was really stuck. I didn't quite know what to pay attention to but she broke it down for me. We just started but she definitely is knowledgeable about college applications.
