Certified Tutor
First, I want to congratulate you on taking the first step towards reaching your full potential. It is never easy to ask for help, but I think that you are on the right path- just considering a tutor. I hope that I can provide you with the guidance and support to reach your desired outcome. I started my educational journey at Mount Union College where I graduated cum laude in English (honors, with an emphasis in creative writing) and French, I also minored in Legal Studies. In college, I co-taught a creative writing course and I worked in the Writing Center providing feedback and editing assistance to students. Later, I went to the University of Akron and obtained my J.D. and M.P.A. While in school, I worked with indigent defendants in the local jail to provide them with legal information, wrote appellate briefs, conducted legal research, and assisted small businesses and non-profits with various start-up issues. I also worked for the Themis Bar Review Program and was referenced in one of the Ohio lectures. I was later recruited by one of my former college professors to teach at a local college. Over the next five years, I taught subjects like legal research and writing, real estate law, legal ethics, criminal law and procedure, political science, and tort law. I passed the Ohio Bar Exam and began practicing. I worked in the private sector, conducting eviction hearings and assisting in contract disputes. I later became an Assistant Prosecutor. I began in Child Support and my tasks included: establishing paternity, determining child support, presenting cases to the grand jury, and arguing before the court. I later became involved in the Criminal and Appellate Divisions. I would draft motions and briefs to the court and argue before judges or a jury. I believe that my experience working with and explaining the law would make me a good candidate to assist you in your learning process. I strongly believe in integrating real-life applications to assignments and I enjoy incorporating humor in my lessons. I wish you the best of luck in your journey!
