About

I have spent over five years and many thousands of hours teaching the LSAT. My tutoring style is easygoing and compassionate and I focus on building confidence and resilience, as well as managing test anxiety. Many of my students have achieved significant score increases, thousands of dollars in scholarships, and admissions to top law schools.
I earned a 172 on the LSAT and graduated from NYU Law in 2011. Afterward, I had a successful career as a litigator in New York City before leaving practice to travel the world. I am an accredited yoga and meditation teacher as well as a former lawyer. I believe that the most effective approach to LSAT tutoring blends rigorous analytical training with holistic tools that support students' physical and mental wellbeing.

I am an experienced LSAT tutor, with over 5,000 hours preparing students for the exam. My students are attending or have graduated from a wide variety of law schools, including Yale, Harvard, Columbia, UVA, and many more.
I earned a 177 on the LSAT and graduated magna cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School in 2010.  I practiced law at Covington and Burling LLP in Washington, D.C. before pursuing my M.A. in Law at Yale University.  Both my practice and my academic work have focused on issues of Media Law and the First Amendment.  During my time at Yale, I taught First Amendment as an adjunct professor at Quinnipiac University School of Law.

Alphonse Simon is a recent graduate of Yale Law. Alphonse graduated with High Distinction from UC Berkeley in 2017. Prior to coming to Yale, he was a data scientist at HHS, a microeconomic research associate at Columbia Business School, and a quantitative researcher at the Urban Institute. At Yale, he is involved in the San Francisco Affirmative Litigation Project – a law school clinic which worked on keeping CCSF open while Alphonse was a student. He will join Latham & Watkins as an Associate this fall. Alphonse scored a 176 on the August 2020 LSAT.  He has almost three years of experience teaching the LSAT to high-achieving students.

Jordan Schlinger is a graduate of Washington University School of Law (in St. Louis) who has interned as a public defender with the Missouri State Public Defender Office and as a summer associate at Morgan & Morgan, P.A., and now works at with the Alaska Public Defenders. A first-generation law student, Jordan achieved a high LSAT score after just two months of study and has since dedicated himself to helping others do the same. As a tutor, he creates personalized study plans and strategies that have enabled students to score as high as 178 on the LSAT and increase their scores by up to 25 points, with many of his students gaining admission to top law schools including Harvard and Stanford. His tutoring style focuses on breaking down complex concepts- especially sufficient and necessary assumptions- and teaching the “language” of the LSAT in a way that equips students to maximize their performance within the time limit. Beyond his professional work, Jordan enjoys building model ships and traveling, having visited over 20 countries to date.

I attended university at University College London (UCL) from 2015-2018, where I spent three years studying English Literature and ultimately writing my dissertation on representations of legal issues in Shakespeare. From there, I began applying for law school, eventually earning multiple full scholarships to top twenty schools as well as a hefty partial scholarship to T-14 law school University of Michigan Law. I started Michigan Law in 2018, where I spent the time putting my writing skills to the test, serving as a Senior Editor on the Michigan Law Journal of Law Reform and writing several wide-ranging papers on a variety of legal issues. Following law school, I clerked for a Federal Judge in the District of Nevada, where I researched, edited, read, and crafted dozens of published legal opinions. I have been tutoring the LSAT full-time ever since! I have worked with a wide variety of students, including students who went on to score in the 175+ range, ESL students, students with ADHD, T-14 hopefuls, older students, student-parents, and beyond. I also provide holistic application support throughout the process and am happy to review/edit application materials, talk admissions strategy, and help you reach your unique goals according to your individual circumstances.
