I have a B.A. in History from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and am currently pursuing an M.A. in Middle East Studies at the University of Chicago. My academic background has strengthened my skills in reading comprehension, critical analysis, argumentation, and writing, all of which are directly applicable to the LSAT. I also scored a 174 on the LSAT, giving me firsthand experience with the exam and the process of improving performance through structured preparation.
I have experience tutoring students in academic subjects and standardized test preparation, working with students in both one-on-one and volunteer settings. My tutoring approach focuses on consistency, identifying the specific weaknesses that are limiting a student's performance, and developing a clear method for applying skills rather than relying on memorization. For LSAT students, I emphasize understanding why an answer is correct or incorrect, recognizing recurring argument structures, and developing an efficient approach that can be consistently applied under timed conditions.
I believe effective tutoring should be tailored to the individual student. I work to identify how a student currently approaches the LSAT, where their reasoning breaks down, and what strategies will be most effective for them. My goal is not simply to teach LSAT concepts, but to help students develop the confidence, consistency, and analytical skills necessary to improve their scores independently.
