About Student Success League

 Dina is a New York State–licensed attorney with a deep passion for education and mentorship. While in law school, she founded the Child Advocacy Association and has spent over 15 years teaching, mentoring, and supporting students from middle school through college.

Dina holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, a Master’s degree in Political Science, and a Juris Doctorate in Law. Leveraging her legal training and analytical skills, she carefully assesses each student’s challenges to identify underlying issues and implement strategies that create lasting progress. Dina combines sharp insights with a kind personality and a thoughtful, holistic approach to help students manage their academic workloads, develop essential skills, and make meaningful progress towards their goals.

Dina emphasizes accessibility. She works with students where there is a strong fit and provides support in a way that genuinely fosters growth over time. Financial hesitation should not hold students back, as partial scholarships and reduced-rate options are available. Whether you are a student or parent asking, “What now?” or looking to proactively develop academic and professional skills, Dina can help.

  Dina believes every student can succeed when provided with the right tools, realistic goals, and personalized mentorship. She works closely with students to overcome limiting beliefs, strengthen academic skills, build accountability and develop self-discipline. 

Dina's approach helps students take ownership of their learning and develop the mindset necessary for long-term success. It also eases the burden on parents from being the “homework police,” allowing them to focus on maintaining a positive, supportive relationship with their child.

 While Dina does not provide legal, medical, psychological, or other licensed professional services, upon request she may provide referrals to trusted professionals.
