Top 1% LSAT Scorer | Top 3 Law Grad with Honors | Federal Clerk

Sean M.

Bar Exam

I passed the notoriously challenging California Bar Exam on my first attempt and have experience tutoring students to achieve the same success. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of law graduates, helping them build strong essay, performance test, and MBE strategies. My approach focuses on clear, structured rule statements, effective issue spotting, and disciplined practice under timed conditions.

Criminal Justice

I graduated with honors from the University of Chicago Law School, where I was a member of the Law Review. I have extensive experience tutoring criminal justice at both the college and law school levels. My background as a federal law clerk has given me a deep understanding of criminal procedure and constitutional principles. I help students build strong analytical skills and excel in their coursework.

Debate

I directed forensics programs at multiple high schools, coaching students to national championships across all debate formats. I was a successful Lincoln-Douglas and policy debater in high school, and ranked #1 nationally in NPDA parliamentary debate in college. I have extensive experience teaching debate, helping students develop strong research, argumentation, and public speaking skills. I guide students in crafting persuasive cases, mastering cross-examination, and excelling in tournaments. My coaching emphasizes strategy, confidence, and critical thinking to achieve success in debate competitions.

Government & Politics

I graduated with honors from the University of Chicago Law School and bring a strong background in government and politics. As a former AP Government teacher, my students achieved the highest AP scores in school history. I have extensive experience helping students master core concepts like federalism, civil liberties, and political institutions. My approach emphasizes clear explanations, critical thinking, and effective exam strategies.

Law

I hold a J.D. with honors from the University of Chicago Law School, where I was on the Law Review. Following law school, I clerked for a federal judge and practiced at several litigation boutiques. I have extensive experience tutoring law students in doctrinal classes and preparing them for final exams. I focus on helping students develop a clear understanding of black-letter law, outline efficiently, and write clear and organized IRAC responses.

Legal Writing

I hold a J.D. with honors from a top 3 law school and have worked as a federal law clerk and at several litigation boutiques. My professional experience required consistent, high-level legal writing, from drafting judicial opinions to complex legal briefs. I have also provided legal writing instruction and feedback to law students and junior attorneys. Whether someone is looking to strengthen IRAC structure, sharpen persuasive writing, or polish memos and briefs, I can help them write with clarity, precision, and impact.

LSAT

I scored a 171 and 175 on the LSAT and have extensive experience helping students reach their target scores. Before law school, I worked as a high school teacher and as an instructor for two major LSAT test prep companies, where I developed a strong track record of improving student performance. I’ve also tutored the LSAT one-on-one for many years, adapting my approach to each student’s learning style and goals. While I often teach using the Powerscore Bibles, I’m highly flexible and can tailor my instruction to align with any preferred materials or strategies.
