"I am an experienced tutor with a strong academic background in law, U.S. government and politics, social studies, English, writing, and Spanish. I tutored extensively during my undergraduate years and throughout law school, working one-on-one with high school, college, and graduate-level students.

In government, politics, and social studies, I focus on constitutional structure, political institutions, historical context, and how ideas connect across time, helping students move beyond memorization to real understanding. For law and pre-law students, I emphasize reading comprehension, analytical reasoning, and learning how to think through complex material step by step.

I also provide academic writing support, including essay writing, proofreading, and general writing instruction. My experience includes running a university writing lab, private tutoring for English language learners, college applicants working on personal statements, and students developing academic and grant-writing skills. My approach focuses on structure, clarity, argument development, and revision strategies rather than creative writing.

I tutor Spanish as a native speaker, with over 15 years of daily professional use and more than 10 years of formal instruction through upper-level undergraduate coursework. I help students build confidence in reading, writing, grammar, and conversation through clear, practical explanations.

I have worked with students of varying ages and ability levels, including those who feel overwhelmed by the material. My goal in every session is to meet students where they are, identify what is blocking understanding, and explain concepts clearly until they feel confident applying them on their own." less...
