Bio

I remember well the mixture of excitement and nerves I felt as I prepared for the ACT, SAT, LSAT, GMAT and GRE during my own academic journey-from earning my BA at Columbia to completing both my JD and MBA there. As a practicing attorney and administrative law judge, I've honed the analytical reading, persuasive writing, and critical-thinking skills that these exams demand, and I've spent the past seven years translating that expertise into one-on-one and small-group tutoring.

I remember well the mixture of excitement and nerves I felt as I prepared for the ACT, SAT, LSAT, GMAT and GRE during my own academic journey-from earning my BA at Columbia to completing both my JD and MBA there. As a practicing attorney and administrative law judge, I've honed the analytical reading, persuasive writing, and critical-thinking skills that these exams demand, and I've spent the past seven years translating that expertise into one-on-one and small-group tutoring. I've guided high school juniors strengthening their reading comprehension for the SAT, college seniors drafting flawless personal statements for graduate school, and pre-law students tackling logical reasoning on the LSAT or even law graduates preparing for the NY UBE add helping each learner not only understand the material but also gain confidence in their unique strengths.

My approach is entirely student-centered: before our first session, I conduct a diagnostic assessment to pinpoint exactly where you'll gain the most ground; whether that's mastering timed essay prompts, decoding complex passages, or refining vocabulary in context. From there, I design a personalized, collaborative plan that accounts for each student's unique academic profile. I combine evidence-based strategies, such as reverse-outlining and active reading techniques, with clear, jargon, free explanations and real-time feedback, so you leave each session both more skilled and more self-assured. If you're ready to transform test anxiety into test mastery and reach your academic goals, I'd be honored to be your guide. Please feel free to reach out to discuss your objectives and let's figure out how we can achieve them together.
