About Me

I am a graduate of Case Western Reserve University School of Law. I received both my Master of Arts in History and Bachelor of Arts in History & Jewish Studies from Tulane University. After graduating from law school I worked as a commercial litigator in Manhattan. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I most enjoy helping students with Writing, Reading Comprehension and History. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that meeting students at their level is most important for information retention and gaining an appreciation of a skill or subject. For example, if a young student hates to read novels but loves comic books I will work comic books into their reading time to get them to appreciate reading at all. I am a firm believer in the power of education to transform ones quality of life and open doors to innumerable opportunities. I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, shopping, reading, and attacking the Sunday NYTimes crossword puzzle.

Q&A with Michelle

By providing the student with tasks and assignments to do alone and then review with me, or simply working with the student at the same time, so that she is used to working and learning independently, rather than simply exchanging her version of work for a corrected version of mine. If a student has difficulty learning a skill or concept, what would you do? It is dependent on the individual student; however, my first instinct is that if a student is having difficulty learning the concept it is my fault as the tutor, and I must adjust my teaching methods until the student has demonstrated an understanding of the subject.
