Emmanuelle M.
Fordham Law, Columbia University
Supportive Bar Exam & 1L Tutor | Healthcare Law Enthusiast
I’m a Columbia University and Fordham Law School graduate, currently working in healthcare law—a field I'm truly passionate about. Teaching, however, is what replenishes me; it’s a space where I can be supportive, playful, and yes, even embrace my inner legal “nerd.” Here’s how I can help: 1. 1L Curriculum: I guide students through the essential 1L subjects—Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Property, and Legal Research & Writing—covering foundational legal principles and analytical skills. 2. MBE Topics: I offer in-depth support for the core MBE subjects: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts. 3. MEE Topics: I cover additional MEE areas, including Business Associations, Conflict of Laws, Family Law, Trusts & Estates, and Secured Transactions (UCC Article 9), providing a well-rounded preparation for bar takers. 4. Healthcare & Pharmaceutical Law: I help students and professionals navigate healthcare law topics such as healthcare policy, privacy laws, intellectual property, bioethics, fraud and abuse regulations, and clinical trials—building a comprehensive understanding of this complex field. If you’re preparing for the bar exam in a UBE jurisdiction—whether it’s your first attempt or a retake—I offer targeted strategies to boost your performance on the MBE, MEE, and MPT. I specialize in helping visual learners with mnemonics, graphics, and intuitive essay templates that make studying more accessible and less overwhelming. We can also work on AdaptiBar or real MBE questions, honing in on areas that need extra focus. Feel free to reach out to discuss your goals and see if my tutoring style fits your needs. I’m here to support your success, whether in person or over Zoom—whatever helps you feel confident and comfortable in your studies!

Starlyte H.
Columbia University in the City of New York, Horace Mann School
Ivy League Tutor
I graduated from Columbia University in the City of New York. Tutoring and mentoring are passions of mine. Throughout college, I served as a tutor in Biology, Psychology, English, and SAT prep. As a Horace Mann High School student, I also previously tutored Riverdale residents. My years of experience have taught me how to be flexible and how to adapt to individual student needs. My goal is to provide the academic support essential for you to excel in your coursework, to connect you to the appropriate resources, and to encourage consistent engagement with the subject. I create a safe space in which you are encouraged to ask questions, to think critically, and to problem solve. By identifying and addressing weak points of understanding, I will work to teach you how to break down difficult problems into understandable solutions. I look forward to challenging your understanding of your coursework and equipping you with the fundamental building blocks necessary for you to master the material.

Academic writing and psychology
Hi there! I graduated from cum laude from Muhlenberg College in 2021 with a BA in psychology with a minor in dance. I am currently in the process of completing my masters degree in developmental psychology at Teachers College at Columbia University. Prior to this, I briefly enrolled in an experimental psychology PhD program where I’ve worked as a research coordinator and a graduate teaching assistant. I have experience teaching intro to psych, statistics in psychology, and research methods in psychology at both the graduate and undergraduate level. Part of my job in this role was also to proofread/edit student papers and provide feedback. I love helping others learn and am currently pursuing the pathway to become a professor. My strengths lie in psychology, academic writing, and statistics (particularly for SPSS).
