Private tutor in Washington, DC

Education

Harvard University 2015, graduating Phi Beta Kappa with a 3.95 GPA. I majored in Philosophy and South Asian Studies, but many of my favorite classes were in the sciences! I will be starting at Yale Law School this fall as part of the class of 2018.

Experience

I am a soon-to-be Harvard graduate looking to pass on tips and tricks for college applications, the SAT, or the LSAT before attending Yale Law School this fall. I have experience working with both gifted and remedial students. Whether you're looking for an ultra-disciplined crash course or a fun and creative approach to test prep, we can use whatever learning strategy is best for you! For strong test-takers looking to break through a plateau: I'll share my own high-level guessing and time-management strategies, before zeroing in on the questions that stand between a good score and a great score. For less-confident test-takers: we'll build your proficiency with drills, simulate the testing environment, and go over the basic traps test-writers use to trip you up. As a Philosophy major who loves to write, I can also help you craft a memorable, genuine, and well-structured Personal Statement. A great test score will get you a foot in the door, but it's your essay that wins you a seat at your dream school! LSAT: 175 SAT: 2340 (Reading: 800, Math: 770, Writing: 770). Scored a 5 in AP Biology, Art History, Physics, Calculus BC, and Virgil.

Hobbies

I am super excited to be starting law school in the fall, but I am even more thrilled to be taking this summer to pursue some of my non-academic interests -- spending time with dogs, working with kids, and catching up on all the fun books I didn't have time to read this year (while writing my senior thesis on ethical dilemmas). When it comes to academic success, I'm a big believer in having an off-on switch. If you stress about your big exam around the clock, you'll be miserable AND your performance will suffer. I find it's way better to study with laser-like focus for a few hours, and then go have fun guilt-free!
