Alicia

Certified Tutor

I received my BA from the University of Washington in Political Science and Directing with Honors distinction, and am starting my first year at Brooklyn Law School. As a tutor, my passion is for helping students best articulate their ideas and develop strong frameworks for argumentation and research.

I am a born and raised New Yorker, and have been tutoring for over eight years, most recently as a writing tutor for my department in university. I have helped students from middle school to graduate school, focusing on Academic Applications, Writing, English, and History. My personal work specializes in Human Rights Law and Environmental Justice, and I have been lucky enough to speak at various universities and embassies across the country for my research.

I have personally been through the NYC High School application process (SHSAT, ISEE, TACHS exams), as well as the undergraduate and law school application process. From this, I understand how to best help students build their own narratives and position themselves in the best way for admissions offices. As a writing tutor at a large international university, I gained additional experience working with ESL (English Second Language) students and students with learning disabilities.
