About Shelby
I graduated with High Distinction from the University of Toronto, Trinity College in 2020 where I majored in Ethics, Society and Law, and pursued a double minor in Anthropology and Sociology. During my B.A., I achieved Dean's List standing each year and had two essays published in addition to working part-time and being involved with multiple extra-curriculars.
A year later, I began at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Law where I am scheduled to graduate in June 2024. In law school, I have successfully competed in oral advocacy competitions and have coached others in the same. Moreover, my success in law school enabled me to secure a position as a 2024 Litigation Associate for a top law firm located in New York City in addition to other wonderful opportunities.
I am also a very proud "cat mom" to two rescue cats, Primrose and Theodore. I enjoy trying new food, travelling, exploring, scary movies, and binge-watching the odd T.V. show.

I will establish a comfortable and supportive environment where you are encouraged to ask questions, make mistakes, and fine-tune your "voice".
I am committed to helping you become an effective thinker and communicator. With tutoring, we will deal directly with mindset ("brain training"), knowledge base, and application with a focus on written and oral communication skills.
Written communication skills are essential and often overlooked. Great writing generally results in better grades, opportunities, and work products. As such, I am committed to providing substantive knowledge guidance, direct edits (e.g., grammar, paragraph structure, flow, equivocation, tense, etc.) and detailed feedback and comments on your work. I aim to help you better understand the edits that I made and begin to learn and internalize good writing habits. In essence, I will teach you how to think more effectively such that you are better able to form and communicate meaningful ideas.
Moreover, I will review the structure of the work product, ensure that perspectives/arguments are correctly cited, evidence is used to support a statement, and that you effectively communicate "why" the reader should care about what you have said.
I am best suited to tutor students at the Undergraduate (University and College) and High School level. I am also best equipped to edit papers at these levels. I can also assist individuals with preparing application materials for Undergraduate study or Graduate/Professional Study (e.g., law school applications, personal statements, cover letters, etc.).

Shelby is an amazing person and an even better tutor. She is incredibly intelligent and has a wealth of knowledge and experience when it comes to writing and structuring ideas in a succinct and professional manner. She is kind, trustworthy, and really cares about her students. Shelby is an excellent communicator and will certainly help you improve your writing, research, and critical thinking skills. As a student of the prestigious UofT Law program and soon to be New York lawyer, it's hard to find a better tutor for writing and academic support. Anyone who has the chance to work with Shelby is incredibly fortunate.
I cannot recommend Shelby enough as a tutor. Shelby is an excellent writer and communicator and has greatly helped me improve my writing skills. She is very good at simplifying complicated subject matter in a way that is far easier to understand and implement. Since working with Shelby I have learned that writing is an art and being a good writer lends itself to success. It's a plus that she's also patient, fun, and engaging which makes learning more enjoyable!

For tutoring, I recommend intervals of 1 hour to dive into the material and make meaningful headway.
Concerning essay editing, the amount of hours needed to edit a piece of writing will depend on the nature of the paper (i.e., the subject matter and length). If you would prefer I limit edits to 1-2 hours, I am happy to stop there and revert the edits to you at that point.
