99th Percentile LSAT Scorer | University of Chicago Graduate & Fu

Sarah H.

I hold a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where I studied psychology with a focus on cognitive neuroscience, and a master's degree from the University of Chicago in Political Science. I attended UIUC as a President's Award Program Scholar and subsequently received the University of Chicago's highly competitive Full Tuition Merit Scholarship. I am also a 98th–99th percentile LSAT scorer.

I have eight years of professional tutoring experience, working with students across a variety of ages, academic levels, and educational backgrounds. My experience includes individualized tutoring in academic writing, essay composition, reading comprehension, critical thinking, and standardized test preparation. At UIUC, I also developed and taught a semester long workshop in R programming and statistical analysis, helping students understand complex technical concepts through structured lessons and hands-on exercises. My teaching approach emphasizes adapting instruction to each student's learning style, identifying areas for improvement, and building independent problem-solving skills.

Beyond traditional tutoring, I have extensive experience providing college admissions advising, including application strategy, personal statement development, supplemental essays, and helping students craft compelling narratives that highlight their unique strengths. Students I have advised have gone on to attend highly selective institutions, including Cornell University, Northwestern University, and UIUC's competitive engineering and computer science programs. For LSAT students, I emphasize developing reasoning skills, understanding question structures, and approaching difficult passages and arguments systematically.
