Shunya Wade Tutoring
About
I try to tailor all of my lesson plans to the student's way of learning and help to create a detailed goal-oriented plan for my students.
I love to engage in critical analytical discussion with my students. Analytical and logical thought are such important characteristics for a lawyer so I enjoy to help build up that trait within students by challenging them to really understand the flow of their arguments and what the real world implications would be.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to begin my first meeting with the student by going over a questionnaire in order to identify what areas they are struggling in the most. Once the student and I have identified these areas I then will discuss the learning and studying methods the student currently utilizes. Then I will talk with the student about their time line and goal. If the first meeting is long enough I will have the student do some assignments to test their ability. Once we've had this preliminary discussion I will take this information to formulate a study plan and send to the student within two days of our first meeting.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
As an attorney with both a J.D. and L.L.M I am someone with a detailed understanding of law and policy as well as excellent writing and research skills. In my moist recent L.L.M program I was trained to write academic papers and articles which is rather transferable and useful in teaching college essay drafting.
