Tamar spent a year in Taiwan as a Fulbright teacher before graduating from the University of Michigan Law School. At Michigan, she served as a student attorney for both the Child Welfare Appellate Clinic and the Child Advocacy Law Clinic. Her commitment to social justice earned her the prestigious Skadden Fellowship, through which she led a two-year project dedicated to enforcing the rights of LGBTQ+ foster youth.

Passionate about coaching, Tamar derives immense satisfaction from guiding students through the law school application process. She uses her experience as a graduate student instructor at the University of Michigan to help applicants prepare for the rigors of law school. She is also known for her ability to keep applicants organized and calm while also providing enthusiastic support and encouragement. She is very detail-oriented and is adept at helping candidates refine their application drafts to ensure they present their best selves. Tamar eagerly looks forward to assisting Juris students in achieving their law school aspirations. 

Mika attended Claremont McKenna College before graduating from the University of Chicago Law School. She has extensive experience in the legal field; she clerked for the (ret.) Honorable Christopher S. Sontchi in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and worked as a corporate bankruptcy litigator for five and a half years in Delaware and New York before returning to consulting and teaching.

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. Mika's experience as a brief-writing litigation associate meant learning to express topics in ways that judges could grasp: a skill she now imparts upon pre-law students. She is an adept writer, editor, and coach dedicated to helping pre-law students present their best selves in the admissions process.
