Mika earned her Bachelor’s degree in economics and psychology from Claremont McKenna College before beginning her legal journey. After earning a 179 on the LSAT, she was offered acceptance to several prestigious law schools, including Washington University in St. Louis, the University of Michigan, the University of Virginia, Vanderbilt, and the University of Chicago. She ultimately chose to complete her JD at the University of Chicago.
As a tutor, Mika employs the "TEACH" approach, emphasizing trust, empowerment, appreciation, communication, and humor to motivate and engage students. During her sessions, she typically employs the EDIP (explain, demonstrate, imitate, and practice) teaching method, ensuring thorough understanding and skill development by modeling best practices and giving students constant feedback. Her greatest strength is interaction. She believes in a modeling/co-teaching process and pushes students to precisely identify why answers must be wrong. In her experience, a tutor's goal is not just to teach; it’s to train you in the best attack process possible.
In her free time, Mika loves to roller skate, dance, and play board games with friends. She is also a lifelong learner and is particularly interested in classical, medieval, and Victorian-era history.
