"With a strong foundation in history from my bachelor’s degree at Lewis & Clark College and a Juris Doctor from Loyola Marymount University, I’ve honed my analytical and communicative skills to excel in teaching English and related subjects. My perfect 170 score on the GRE verbal section underscores my mastery of language, vocabulary, and critical reading—skills I draw upon daily in my tutoring sessions. I’m passionate about fostering intellectual curiosity and helping students unlock their own potential through rigorous, engaging learning.

My tutoring journey began over a decade ago during my undergraduate years, where I volunteered as a peer tutor in writing centers, assisting college freshmen and sophomores with essay composition, research papers, and literary analysis in one-on-one sessions. This experience sparked my love for personalized education, leading me to expand into professional tutoring after law school. For the past eight years, I’ve provided extensive one-on-one tutoring in all aspects of English— from grammar and syntax to advanced rhetoric, creative writing, and test preparation for exams like the SAT, ACT, and GRE. I’ve worked with a diverse range of students, including middle schoolers (ages 11-14) building foundational reading comprehension and writing confidence, high schoolers (ages 15-18) tackling AP Literature, college essays, and debate skills, and even adult learners refining professional communication or preparing for graduate admissions.

My approach is student-centered and adaptive: I start by assessing each individual’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style through initial diagnostic sessions, then tailor lessons with interactive exercises, real-world examples, and constructive feedback. I’m committed to creating a supportive, empowering environment where every session feels like a step toward personal growth—let’s embark on that journey together!" less...
