BA Ohio State University-Main Campus • JD Cornell University
5+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the Ohio State University, where I completed a BA summa cum laude in linguistics and Romance studies with specializations in French, Spanish, and Italian. I then completed a JD at Cornell University, where I used my language skills to focus on international and comparative law, as well as developing particular skills in criminal law and general trial advocacy. In addition, I spent a year in France at the Universit Paris 1 Panthon-Sorbonne, where I obtained an LLM (master of laws) in French, European, and international law. Outside of academia, I have worked as a document translator and an in-court interpreter in both French and Spanish and have worked directly with French- and Spanish-speaking clients in legal and financial settings. As an undergraduate student, I was French-language liaison to the Modern Languages and Cultures Undergraduate Council, in which position I oversaw tutoring sessions, organized conversation and culture hours, and represented the interests of Francophone students and French learners at Council meetings. In addition, I co-directed an outreach program to local elementary schools, teaching both French and Spanish to children in grades K-4. On the legal side, I have worked in immigration, contract, family, and criminal law, and have been a teaching assistant for legal courses and served as a graduate-student mentor for pre-law students.

Frequently Asked Questions

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors across a wide range of law subjects and specializations. Whether you're studying constitutional law, criminal law, civil procedure, contracts, torts, property law, evidence, administrative law, or legal writing, tutors can provide personalized instruction tailored to your specific coursework and academic goals.

Tutors also work with students preparing for the LSAT, bar exam preparation, and legal research and analysis skills. Whatever your focus within law, personalized 1-on-1 instruction can help you build deeper understanding of complex legal concepts and doctrines.

In a traditional classroom, law professors often use the Socratic method with large groups, which means individual students may struggle to keep pace or get stuck on specific concepts. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus entirely on your learning style, identify gaps in your understanding, and spend as much time as needed on challenging topics like statutory interpretation, case analysis, or legal reasoning.

With customized tutoring, you can work through practice problems at your own pace, receive immediate feedback on legal writing or exam practice, and develop strategies specifically designed to strengthen your weaker areas—resulting in more efficient learning and better retention of complex material.

Yes. Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors experienced in both LSAT and bar exam preparation. For the LSAT, tutors can help you master logical reasoning, reading comprehension, and logic games—breaking down strategies for each section and providing targeted practice with feedback. For bar exam prep, tutors work with you on substantive law review, essay writing, multiple-choice strategy, and time management across your jurisdiction's specific format.

Personalized instruction is particularly valuable for high-stakes exams because tutors can identify your specific weak points, create a customized study plan, and help you build confidence through targeted practice and review.

Tutors work with law students at all levels, from first-year law students navigating foundational courses like Contracts and Torts, to upper-level students diving into specialized areas like intellectual property, international law, or tax law. Tutors also support students preparing for the LSAT before law school and bar exam candidates at the end of their legal education.

Whether you're building core legal analysis skills, refining legal writing and argumentation, or mastering complex doctrinal material in your specific practice area, tutors can tailor their approach to your current level and learning goals.

Legal writing and case analysis are critical skills that require practice and constructive feedback—exactly what personalized tutoring provides. Tutors can review your briefs, essays, and memos to identify weaknesses in legal reasoning, organization, or persuasion. They can explain how to extract holdings from cases, analyze precedent effectively, and structure arguments logically.

Through guided practice and detailed feedback on your actual work, you'll develop the ability to read cases strategically, distill key legal principles, and communicate legal analysis clearly—skills that directly transfer to better performance in classes, on exams, and in professional legal practice.

Many law students struggle with the sheer volume of doctrine and rules to master. Rather than rote memorization, effective tutoring focuses on building conceptual understanding—helping you see how different legal rules connect, why certain doctrines evolved, and how to apply principles to new fact patterns. This deeper understanding makes material more memorable and useful on exams.

Tutors use techniques like teaching concepts in your own words, working through multiple examples, and practicing application problems—proven methods that strengthen retention and retrieval. When you understand the 'why' behind legal rules, you're better equipped to recall and apply them under pressure.

Your first session typically focuses on understanding your goals, current level, and specific challenges. Whether you want help with a particular course, exam preparation, or overall legal analysis skills, the tutor will listen to your concerns and ask diagnostic questions to understand what you need.

From there, tutors create a personalized plan for ongoing sessions, which might include reviewing course materials, working through practice problems, analyzing cases together, reviewing your writing, or preparing for exams. The structure is flexible and designed to maximize your learning and confidence in law.
