I have tutored and taught high school, college, and law school courses for over 25 years. I am the former Judicial Counsel for the New York State Supreme Court and the author of articles instructing new and seasoned attorneys with court procedures. I completed my BA Degree in History at Syracuse University and graduated “cum Laude” from The Delaware Law School of Widener University of Pennsylvania. I was an editor of the Law Review and ranked 7th out of a class of 267 students. I tutor students with regard to strategies enabling them to obtain outstanding grades and a better understanding of their course assignments and materials. I am highly knowledgeable in courses ranging from AP Classes to Bar Exam preparation.

My methods of teaching are geared to the needs of my students. My tutoring style is to listen to the students, have patience and take the time to understand the problems and issues presented vis-a-vis the students’ particular course. Teaching is more than cramming loads of data and answers into the students minds. Teaching is the art of training students to think and never end their thirst for knowledge. I take pride in simplifying complex topics and courses that assist my students in understanding the materials they are studying. I am comfortable teaching and tutoring large groups of students as well as one on one sessions. I conduct both online and live sessions. My goal is to provide each student with the knowledge and confidence necessary to succeed.

Outside of academia, I enjoy watching and participating in sports and trivia contests. I have been involved as a member of a local Readers Theater Group and attend a variety of musical concerts and theatrical productions. I encourage students who want excellent grades, higher test scores, college acceptances, and passing bar exam results to contact me to learn more about my productive tutoring techniques, ask me any questions concerning tutoring, and how they may schedule tutoring sessions.

Knowledgeable and puts things simply

I’ve enjoyed my tutoring session with Don. He lets me talk through my thought process on MBE questions and directs me on how to approach if I come across a difficult topic.

The tutor that will help you pass the bar exam

Professor Donald is my Bar Exam tutor. He has taught me to spot what the MBE questions are testing and how to more efficiently answer MEE questions. He is the best at simplifying legal concepts, which helps with memorization and overall understanding of the law. If you are struggling with the MBE is because you struggle to approach the questions, not because you do not know the law. Professor Donald is an expert in teaching you how to approach these questions; he has helped me to improve my MBE score and I am sure it will help you too.
