I received a B.A. in History from Loyola University in New Orleans. I taught in both college and secondary schools, and then attended law school at Tulane University. My teaching experience includes teaching college classes at Xavier University of New Orleans and at the University of New Orleans. I then taught history for eight years, including seven years at Isidore Newman school. Newman is one of the best schools in the country and annually places highly in the number of National Merit Scholars it produces. Altogether, I taught for ten years, and practiced law for about twenty years.

My wife and I moved to Florida after Hurricane Katrina destroyed our home in New Orleans. I no longer practice law, but have always enjoyed teaching and would like to help anyone in need of a tutor. I am proficient in a number of subjects. These include AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP English, Public Speaking, Writing, and Law. I specialize in tutoring students for all of the English portions of the SAT, ACT, and GRE. I also tutor for the LSAT. I teach the subject-matter for standardized tests, as well as test-taking techniques to help students maximize their scores. I also specialize in tutoring for AP U.S History and AP World History. During my career, I've coached golf and football.

I believe in identifying a student's strengths as well as weaknesses, and use the former to improve the latter. I try to keep the subject being taught both lively and entertaining, and to make learning a positive experience. Most of all, I care about my students and will always do my best to help them succeed.

Approved Subjects

Bar Exam

Bar Exam

I went to law school at Tulane University and received a JD upon graduation in 1987. I passed the Louisiana Bar Exam. While I was preparing for the bar and for a year afterwards, I taught classes to paralegals at a school called the Institute of Legal Studies. I also wrote, developed, and taught a paralegal course for adults in Jefferson Parish, LA.
Criminal Justice

Criminal Justice

While in law school, I took numerous courses in criminal law. As an attorney, criminal defense was one of my primary specializations. This required a hands-on knowledge of police methods and procedures. During my legal career, I represented clients charged with offenses ranging anywhere from murder to traffic offenses. I engaged in plea bargaining in many cases when it was advantageous to my client. I also took many cases to trial (both by jury and by judge) and had a very high success rate when doing so.
Golf

Golf

I have played golf for over fifty years. While teaching at Isidore Newman School in New Orleans, I was, in addition to my teaching duties, the golf coach. I worked with young golfers and helped them improve many aspects of their game. I currently still play regularly and shoot in the mid-seventies.
Proofreading

Proofreading

I have a Juris Doctor from Tulane Law School and practiced before both state and Federal Courts for twenty years. I have submitted documents of many different types to various courts (Criminal Court, Civil Court, Juvenile Court, State Courts of Appeal, U.s. District Courts) of this country. All of these documents must be proofread and submitted with no errors.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have a B.A. in History, a M.A. in Drama & Communications, and a J.D. As a teenager, I acted as the lead in numerous plays and skits. Upon graduation, I taught for ten years (including speech at Xavier University) and was the director of the Assembly Committee at Isidore Newman school in New Orleans. As such, I was responsible for programs and entertainment for over 600 students approximately six times a year. I acted as the master-of-ceremonies on all assemblies. I then got my J.D. and practiced law for 18 years, arguing many cases before juries with a high success rate (over 90%). I also was a band member and lead singer for a popular rock band in New Orleans, and have played music before large audiences many times. All of these prior activities have given me much experience in getting ideas over to an audience, and in public speaking in general. Over the years, I have learned many techniques that benefit anyone interested in public speaking. I would love to share that knowledge.

Best LSAT Tutor you could ask for!!

Before I met Mr. Brown it was 3 weeks before my LSAT exam and I barely a 137 score with no idea how to improve my skills in Reading Comprehension and Logical Reasoning. With daily lessons for the rest of the weeks with Mr. Brown I was able to increase my score up to 155! He’s an excellent teacher that has amazing methods that allow you to understand everything in a fun and personal way! You can absolutely tell the moment you meet him he is passionate about everything he does. There was not a single moment that was dull or stressful, I loved coming back everyday for an hour and practicing with him! Thank you for everything Mr. Brown!! :)

Best LSAT Tutor!!

Mr. Brown is incredibly knowledgeable about the LSAT and explains even difficult concepts in a simple way that makes them easy to understand. Most importantly, you can tell that he genuinely cares about whether his students understand the material and succeed. He also brings humor into our lessons, which lightens the mood and makes studying for such a stressful exam much more enjoyable. He has helped me improve tremendously, and I never thought I would feel this prepared and confident going into the LSAT. I truly have him to thank for that, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an LSAT tutor!

Great Teacher

Extremely grateful for Mr. Justin, just had our last class, and honestly can’t express how thankful I am for having the opportunity to have classes with him, wouldn’t be able to improve my score as much as I did without him, and I feel ready for the LSAT tomorrow.

Great Teacher

Mr. Justin has helped me a lot. Before his classes, I was averaging 14 in LR. Then, after less than 10 classes, I was already averaging 17. Now, with a week to my test, I've scored my second 20. He is a great tutor, and his method works.

great first session!

my first session with Justin was extremely helpful, I'm very excited to continue working with him on my LSAT journey. He helped right out of the gate with tactics that helped with my accuracy. Great guy!

Great Teacher

Mr. Justin is a great tutor, without him and his method, I would be very far from achieving my goals. Before I started class with him, I only got a diagnostic between 138 and 141. After 6 months of classes with him, I was able to get a diagnostic with a score of 158. I am extremely thankful to Mr. Justin and his teachings, and I feel way more ready for the test.

Great Teacher

Mr. Justin is a great teacher. His method has helped me a lot in developing my LSAT skills. Before I started class with him, I had only increased by 3 points in 3 months, from 138 to 141, on practice exams. After 5 months of classes with him, I increased my score by 17 points from 141 to 158 in practice exams.

Strategic and Supportive LSAT Tutor

I worked with Justin for LSAT prep and even though I don’t have my score yet, I already know it was worth it. His methods completely changed the way I approached the test. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I felt like I actually had a strategy. More than anything, Justin made me feel confident. He broke things down in a way that made sense, and he always made the test feel manageable instead of scary. His vibe is calm, supportive, and motivating without being intense or stressful. I walked into the LSAT way more confident than I ever thought I would, and that alone says a lot. If you’re looking for someone who knows the material but also genuinely supports you through the process, I can’t recommend him enough.

Outstanding LSAT Tutor – A True Expert with Real-World Legal Experience

From day one, it is clear that Justin truly understands the LSAT—not just the content, but the strategy behind mastering each section. He brakes down complex logical reasoning and analytical thinking in a way that is accessible, precise, and always ties back to real-world legal principles. His teaching style is supportive and incredibly effective. Thanks to his guidance, I am developing a deeper understanding of the skills that will serve me well in law school and beyond.

Excellent

Justin has helped me prepare for my LSAT for the past three months. When we first starting working together I just wanted a little bump in my score but the techniques he taught me made an even bigger impact on my score than I ever would have thought was possible. I was scoring in the 155 range on practice tests and Justin helped boost that to 161! He makes learning so fun, he is so patient and incredibly motivating. His techniques and unique view of the test really helped me grasp the concepts and better hone my skills. Overall, Justin is an amazing teacher who truly cares about the success of his students and can even make studying the LSAT fun (which is not an easy task).
