I am a former BigLaw litigator, former Senior In-House Counsel at a global pharmaceutical company, and a current full-time law professor teaching Civil Procedure, Legal Writing, Health Law, and Litigation & Investigations.
I have been teaching and mentoring students for over two decades, while a student myself, continuing through BigLaw practice, and now full-time in academia. The students I work with typically range from first-year law students to bar retakers, as well as working professionals returning to the bar after time away from practice.
My teaching style is structured, strategic, and performance-driven. I don’t just explain what the law is—I show students how to think like high-scoring exam writers and bar passers under pressure.

My approach blends:
•Diagnostic assessment to pinpoint exactly where points are being lost
•Step-by-step IRAC/CRAC writing strategy
•Issue-spotting drills based on actual exam patterns
•Time-management and stress-control techniques
•Confidence coaching for cold calls, exams, and timed writing

Because I actively teach and grade law school exams, I bring insider knowledge of how professors allocate points, what graders actually look for, and what mistakes consistently cost students letter grades. Students often come to me saying, “I understand the material, but my exams don’t reflect it.” My job is to close that gap.
In addition to law school tutoring, I specialize in Texas, California, and New York bar essay coaching, helping students refine rule mastery, application, organization, and speed.

I have taught in:
•Large classroom settings (law school courses)
•Small group workshops
•One-on-one private tutoring
•Professional and academic mentoring environments

I am known for being direct, supportive, and highly invested in my students’ success. When students work with me consistently, they don’t just improve—they develop the tools to perform at a high level long after our sessions end.

Approved Subjects

Bar Exam

Bar Exam

I am a law professor and experienced litigator as a BigLaw attorney and Senior In-House counsel. I specialize in helping students master bar exam essays and multiple-choice questions for the TX, CA, and NY exams (all exams I have personally passed and jurisdictions I am licensed to practice in). I focus on strengthening issue spotting, rule mastery, writing organization, and timing under pressure. My approach blends clear structure, targeted practice, and individualized feedback to help students significantly improve both essay and MBE-style performance. I am committed to helping every student build the confidence and skills needed to pass the bar.
Career Development

Career Development

My career development coaching is grounded in a proven trajectory that spans Wall Street, business consulting, Big Law, senior in-house counsel at an elite global corporation, and ultimately securing a highly competitive tenure-track professorship. I have successfully navigated every major legal career gateway—from summer associate and judicial internship to Big Law offers across both coasts, in-house leadership, and academia. I teach students and professionals how to strategically position themselves, build powerful professional narratives, and make smart, long-term career moves with intention. My approach blends real-world strategy, clarity of purpose, and execution so clients don’t just get jobs—they build careers with momentum.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

My interview coaching is built on a career trajectory that spans Wall Street, business consulting, a federal judicial internship, BigLaw, in-house counsel at a global elite corporation, and securing the rare position of tenure-track law professor—all achieved through disciplined mastery of interviewing. I received multiple Big Law offers (both as a student entering the market for the first time and as a lateral attorney) across both coasts, and successfully transitioned into highly selective in-house and academic roles. I teach students and professionals how to communicate confidence, command the room, answer behavioral and technical questions strategically, and translate their experiences into compelling, offer-winning narratives. My coaching focuses on real-world performance, not scripts—so clients walk into interviews prepared, polished, and powerful.
Legal Writing

Legal Writing

I am a tenure-track law professor with extensive experience teaching and tutoring legal writing, from my time as a Legal Writing Teaching Assistant in law school to receiving the CALI Award for the highest grade in legal writing, and now teaching Legal Writing as a full-time professor. My instruction is grounded in both academic excellence and real-world application. In addition to teaching, I bring extensive practical experience as a former Big Law litigator and senior in-house litigation counsel, where precision, persuasive writing, and strategic clarity were essential every day. I help students transform their analysis into clear, concise, and compelling legal arguments that perform at the highest level in practice and on exams.
