About Leah
I work with students to meet them partway in their learning--to understand their learning styles, and how to make the topics and subjects being studied interesting and engaging to them. Whether that is having a creative student learn math by designing a Halloween costume, or encouraging a tech-minded student to write about their love for cars, I give each student a personalized approach.
I also believe that helping students put the standardized tests and college application process into proper context makes them more successful students and helps the learning process.
I love seeing students realize their own potential and achieve their goals.
I have been tutoring for as long as I can remember, first helping my younger siblings with their school work, then tutoring during and after college. In law school, I taught research methods to other law students and was involved in community workshops and training.
I paused for a time after law school, but I enjoy helping people blossom in their writing and achieve their academic and professional goals, so I returned to tutoring and teaching to fulfill that need.
I especially enjoy working with students on writing and on college and graduate school applications. I received my English degree with Honors, and double majored in Fine Arts. I have several years of experience as a professional editor in a variety of publication formats.
For test preparation tutoring I focus primarily on the LSAT and SAT. I am a licensed attorney who scored in the 94th percentile on the LSAT, and I was a National Merit Finalist for the PSAT/SAT and scored in the top percentiles.

I like to start by getting to know the student and their goals for tutoring--what do they want to get out of our work? From there I work with them to identify their strengths, then figure out how we can use those strengths to address the areas they are struggling with.
I have worked with high school students, college students, college graduates, and grad students.
Pay attention to whether the teacher/tutor listens to you--teaching is best when the teacher and student work together and the student learns in the ways that work best for them. Teachers have to listen to their students to understand the why and how of how their students learn.
I recently wrote my first Table Top Role Playing Game scenario and was able to run it for a D&D group. It was a new type of writing and I fell in love, and am currently working on polishing it for publication.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Be honest with yourself about how much effort and work you want to give to learning, because teaching is only as successful as the student's interest and desire. There is nothing wrong with deciding a particular path isn't right for you. If you do want to pursue a given path, be honest with yourself about the time and effort you truly have to spare.
