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.

I am an adjunct law school professor, and my passion is teaching students how to solve problems. I received my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and my law degree from DePaul University. I love all things Chicago, especially the lakefront. I try to read at least two books a week and write in my free time. I have tutored high school students, college students, graduate students, and law students for many years, mainly in reading and writing. Education and learning are of the utmost importance, and when students grasp a concept it is a wonderful victory for any educator, and of course, the student!
Lily
Calculus Tutor • +34 Subjects
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University who is now based in the New York Metropolitan Area. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Hispanic Literatures & Cultures and in History, with a focus on U.S. History and Latin American History. I also plan to pursue a doctorate in History. I have been teaching in various capacities for many years now, and have worked with students from Pre-K all the way to high school seniors. While I enjoy all subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish and History. I believe a nuanced understanding of diverse histories and languages, with an emphasis on those of the underrepresented, is an invaluable tool to which all students should have access. I hope to sow understanding and awareness in students of all backgrounds, to empower their voices, and to make learning fun!

Frequently Asked Questions
Legal Writing students often struggle with three core areas: mastering the formal structure of legal documents (memoranda, briefs, and contracts), developing persuasive argumentation that anticipates counterarguments, and understanding the precision required in legal language where word choice directly impacts meaning and enforceability. Many students also find the transition from academic writing to objective legal analysis difficult, since legal writing demands a neutral tone and fact-based reasoning rather than personal voice or creative expression.
Legal citation can feel overwhelming because the rules are extensive and citation style varies by document type and jurisdiction. A tutor can break down citation rules systematically, show you how to identify what type of source you're citing (case, statute, secondary material), and provide targeted practice with real legal documents so the rules become automatic rather than something you have to look up constantly. This personalized approach helps you internalize citation conventions much faster than self-study alone.
Objective writing (like legal memoranda) presents both sides of an issue fairly and reaches a neutral conclusion, while persuasive writing (like briefs or client letters) advocates for a specific position. Strong arguments in objective writing require thorough legal research, clear rule statements, and honest analysis of how the law applies to your facts. Persuasive writing demands the same foundation but adds strategic emphasis—highlighting favorable precedents, framing facts advantageously, and anticipating opposing arguments before your reader does. A tutor can help you develop both skill sets and know when each approach is appropriate.
Legal writing tutors provide detailed feedback on document organization, argument strength, rule application, and clarity—areas where self-editing is notoriously difficult. They can identify when your legal reasoning is sound but your explanation is confusing, when you're missing a critical counterargument, or when your thesis statement doesn't match your analysis. This kind of expert feedback accelerates improvement because you're learning not just what to fix, but why the fix matters to legal readers and decision-makers.
Tutors work with students across the full range of legal writing—client letters, legal memoranda, case briefs, appellate briefs, contracts, and transactional documents. Whether you're learning to write your first memo or refining persuasive brief writing for appellate court, a tutor can provide targeted guidance on the conventions, structure, and strategic choices specific to each document type. The underlying principles transfer across documents, so mastering one form makes the others more accessible.
In legal writing, a single word can change the legal meaning—"and" versus "or," "shall" versus "may," or "reasonable" versus "foreseeable" all have distinct legal implications that courts interpret. Developing precision means understanding how legal terms of art are defined in statutes and case law, recognizing ambiguity in your own drafting, and learning to choose words that convey exactly what you intend. A tutor helps you see these distinctions through close reading of model legal documents and revision of your own work, building your sensitivity to language precision over time.
Rule application is where many legal writing students get stuck—they understand a statute or case holding but struggle to connect it to their specific facts. The key is learning the IRAC method (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) and practicing it repeatedly with different fact patterns so the structure becomes automatic. A tutor can walk you through this process with your actual assignments, showing you how to extract the relevant rule, break it into elements, match those elements to your facts, and reach a supported conclusion. This scaffolded practice builds confidence and competence faster than trying to figure it out alone.
Yes. Beginning legal writers benefit from foundational instruction in document structure, citation basics, and the IRAC framework. Intermediate writers often need help with persuasive technique, anticipating counterarguments, and tightening their analysis. Advanced writers typically refine their voice, develop sophisticated argument strategy, and master specialized document types. A tutor assesses where you are and tailors instruction to your specific gaps, whether you're just starting law school or preparing for law review or appellate work.
