  • Whether you’re a 3L or a repeat taker, I’ll help you build a personalized study plan, develop practical and flexible command of the black-letter law, and sharpen your IRAC structure to maximize your MEE and MPT scores.

  • I help 1Ls and beyond build clarity and confidence in legal writing and core coursework. From mastering CRAC/IRAC to tackling case briefs, memos, and issue spotters, I offer targeted, supportive coaching grounded in Yale Law training and years of teaching experience.

  • From thesis statements to final papers, I help students master the demands of college-level writing and critical analysis. Whether you're tackling a history paper, research memo, or social science essay, I provide clear, actionable feedback and tailored support to help you think sharper and write with greater precision and impact.

  • I coach students through every stage of the admissions essay process — from brainstorming to polishing — helping them craft authentic, memorable writing that reflects their individuality. With experience from the Harvard Writing Center and years in the classroom, I know how to bring out each student’s voice.

  • AP Euro is a demanding course that requires students to engage with political, economic, intellectual, and cultural history. I help students navigate the course’s complexity by developing thematic understanding, drawing connections across topics, and sharpening DBQ and LEQ responses. As a Harvard-trained historian with years of experience teaching this course at a high level, I coach students to succeed not just on the test — but in understanding the forces that shaped modern Europe.

  • APUSH demands depth, nuance, and fluency in the particulars of the AP CED and Rubrics. I help students develop a practical and integrated understanding of relevant historical themes and guide students in crafting concise and incisive essays tailored to the demands of the College Board. As an experienced AP History teacher and Harvard-trained historian, my approach is grounded in the cutting edge of academic history.

  • Macroeconomics is the key to understanding the modern world. Too often, however, AP Macro feels like memorizing graphs in a vacuum. I help students truly understand the logic behind models and policies, so they can apply them flexibly and confidently on test day. With a clear, practical approach, I focus on FRQ structure, graphing skills, and economic intuition — the foundation for a lifelong understanding of economics
