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.

Lucille
ACT Writing Tutor • +26 Subjects
I am a DC-barred attorney and a 2024 graduate of Georgetown Law. I have a BA from the University of Washington in International Studies with a focus on international human rights. Prior to earning my BA I served a term in AmeriCorps NCCC before working for several years in the gaming industry. I have had a variety of experiences tutoring others, from LSAT tutoring during law school to volunteering to tutor English and test prep skills as a teenager to more extensive coaching and mentoring in my jobs. I assisted in tutoring and training other corps members in specific skills while in AmeriCorps, and in my various roles in the games industry, I put together and led a variety of training sessions for new hires, as well as provided coaching and mentoring for colleagues. I understand the stress and fear that students can feel going into standardized testing, especially a large exam like the LSAT, and am passionate about helping others feel prepared going into their tests so that they can perform their very best. I work to empower my students to not only develop their skillsets in the areas that they will be tested on, but also to help them feel capable and confident in their abilities. I hope to help my students find bits and pieces of the exam that they can have fun with to make it feel more achievable. Outside of school and tutoring, I enjoy hiking, working out, watching K- and C-dramas, visiting museums, and finding new restaurants to try!
Clark
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects
I have a PhD (Yale) in history and an MBA (UCLA) in finance. I have excellent writing and research skills, and have made extensive use of German and French -- spoken and for research. My work in finance has required skills with mathematics. I have taught university classes in finance and international economics. Another area of much interest, related to my background in history and public policy, is US constitutional law. I published a book on monetary history (*Gold, France, and the Great Depression*) , and a more recent book of essays on topics in economics and diplomatic history (http://books.ksplibrary.org/978-625-7501-75-0/ ) .... I have worked extensively on government-related projects, often in the greater Middle East. Effective tutoring should do more than impart techniques -- it should certainly do that -- it should help a student come away with some interest in and enthusiasm for the topic. (Soft evidence for the last is that my daughter earned a PhD in neuro-science, and credits me with inspiring her.)

Ella
OLSAT Tutor • +23 Subjects
I like learning anything new and enjoy reading, but I'm not fond of school. I made good grades only when the subject interested me. However, I have always done very, very well on standardized tests, probably because I read so much. I was a National Merit finalist and my LSAT score was in the 99th percentile. In today's system, that is about a 174. I attended law school at the University of Houston, graduated, passed the Texas bar with a decent score of 83, and practiced law for a long time. I quit practicing law when I moved to a small town in Central Texas. I began tutoring about a few years ago and discovered that I truly enjoy the intellectual challenge of tutoring and the opportunity to interact with a lot of bright, hard-working students. I had never tutored or taught before, so I read lots of study guides and picked out suggestions and tactics that made sense to me. I look for multiple ways to illustrate concepts because everyone understands information differently. My work with students is based on my experience, what I have studied, and feedback from my students. I think that tackling a problem directly is usually faster than looking for a trick or shortcut. I also help students with their applications and enjoy tutoring in writing and similar topics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often find the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment particularly challenging due to the competing interests and evolving case law. The dormant Commerce Clause is another major stumbling block—understanding the distinction between discriminatory and non-discriminatory state laws, plus the Pike balancing test, requires careful analysis. Additionally, many students struggle with structural constitutional issues like separation of powers and federalism because these concepts require synthesizing multiple doctrines rather than memorizing rules. A tutor can break down these complex areas by working through landmark cases systematically and helping you identify the doctrinal frameworks that apply to different fact patterns.
Constitutional case analysis requires understanding both the holding and the doctrinal test established by the court, since constitutional law evolves through incremental doctrine-building. You need to identify the level of scrutiny (strict scrutiny, intermediate scrutiny, or rational basis) being applied and understand why that matters for future cases—not just the outcome of the case itself. Unlike statutory interpretation, constitutional analysis often involves weighing competing interests and understanding how courts balance rights against government interests. A tutor can teach you to map out doctrinal frameworks, spot when courts are shifting their approach, and predict how established doctrine applies to novel fact patterns.
The ability to identify which constitutional provisions and doctrines apply to a given fact pattern is critical—many students spot the issue but apply the wrong test or miss multiple applicable doctrines. Strong exam performance also requires clearly explaining the doctrinal framework before analyzing facts, rather than jumping straight to conclusions. You need to anticipate counterarguments and acknowledge competing doctrines, especially in areas like First Amendment law where multiple clauses might be implicated. Tutoring can help you develop a systematic approach to spotting issues, organizing your analysis by doctrine, and writing clear explanations that demonstrate mastery of the frameworks rather than just reaching the right answer.
An excellent Constitutional Law tutor should have deep knowledge of foundational cases and how they connect across doctrinal areas—someone who can explain why Marbury v. Madison matters for separation of powers or how Commerce Clause doctrine evolved from the Lochner era through the present day. They should be able to identify the specific doctrinal frameworks courts apply and help you understand the policy rationales behind different approaches, not just memorize rules. Look for someone with law school teaching experience or significant appellate practice, as they'll understand how constitutional arguments are actually constructed and evaluated. The best tutors can also diagnose whether you're struggling with spotting issues, applying the right test, or articulating your analysis clearly—and tailor their approach accordingly.
Constitutional Law is heavily interconnected—understanding federalism helps explain dormant Commerce Clause doctrine, and separation of powers principles underlie both executive power and congressional authority questions. Many students learn topics in isolation and miss these connections, which hurts both understanding and exam performance. A tutor can map out how doctrines relate, show you which cases establish foundational principles that apply across multiple areas, and help you build a coherent framework rather than a collection of disconnected rules. This approach also makes the subject more memorable and helps you tackle complex hypotheticals that implicate multiple doctrinal areas simultaneously.
Constitutional law courts often explain their decisions by reference to underlying policies—protecting individual liberty, preserving federalism, preventing regulatory capture, or ensuring democratic accountability. When you understand these rationales, you can predict how courts will apply doctrine to novel situations and articulate stronger arguments in your own analysis. Students who memorize rules without understanding the policies behind them often misapply doctrines or fail to anticipate how courts might extend or limit precedent. A tutor helps you internalize these policy foundations so that constitutional analysis becomes reasoning about competing values and interests, not just mechanical application of tests.
Many students see meaningful improvement in their ability to spot issues and identify applicable doctrines within 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially if they're working through problem sets between sessions. Deeper mastery—confidently analyzing complex hypotheticals and articulating nuanced arguments—typically develops over a semester of regular work. The timeline depends heavily on your starting point and how much you practice between sessions; students who engage with cases and work through practice problems make faster progress than those who only attend tutoring sessions. A tutor can accelerate your progress by focusing on your specific gaps, whether that's doctrinal knowledge, issue-spotting, or exam writing technique.
Active case briefing—where you identify the constitutional question, the applicable doctrine, the court's reasoning, and how the case fits into the broader doctrinal landscape—is far more valuable than passive reading. Working through practice hypotheticals and writing out your analysis, then having a tutor review your reasoning, helps you identify gaps in your understanding and refine your analytical approach. Spaced repetition of difficult doctrinal areas, combined with retrieval practice (testing yourself on which doctrine applies to a given fact pattern), strengthens long-term retention. A tutor can guide your practice by recommending which cases to brief, which hypotheticals to tackle, and how to structure your self-testing for maximum learning.
