"I am a licensed Illinois lawyer that lives here in Chicago. I obtained my law degree from the Indiana University Maurer School of Law in Bloomington, Indiana. Prior to law school, I earned my bachelor's degree in Bioengineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and worked as a medical equipment technician during my semester breaks. As a lawyer, it is not only my job to advocate my client's position, but to counsel my client. Counseling involves taking concepts that can be abstract or counter-intuitive, and making sure the client appropriately understands the concepts." ...

"I am a recent graduate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with a BA in Political Science. Like most poli-sci majors, I intend to go to law school and someday practice law as a career. Getting there necessitates taking the LSAT, an exam that is quite different from other standardized tests in that it focuses on a singular skill set: formal logic. But learning about the logical doesn't always come across as logical."

"I think a tutor can have a significant impact on the success of any student. Everyone has their own way of learning and classes can be difficult if the teacher does not recognize an individual's personal style of learning.
