Award-Winning LSAT Tutors in Lenexa, KS

...volunteer experience; I taught an ESL class for adults while living in New Orleans; at the end of the term, 100% of my regularly attending students elected to sign up for more classes. I am a recently returned Peace Corps Volunteer; I spent over a year working in a small school in Namibia (Southern Africa) teaching English, Math, and Computer Skills in a resource-poor environment. I am enthusiastic and creative, and am constantly scanning the...

...University of Tulsa and an MA in Classics at the University of Kansas. After law school, I practiced law in New York City for ten years before deciding to go back to school for Classics. I am currently developing a publication on the relative clause in Ancient Greek and I hope to begin a PhD program in the fall. I completed my MA with a 4.0 GPA and received a perfect score on the verbal...

...itself. I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2008. After serving for 5 years as an officer in the Army, I went back to graduate school, where am currently in my final semester of the University of Missouri's JD/MBA program. While in graduate school, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for an undergraduate business law class. This experience helped me better understand just how unique every student's learning process is....

...in History from Kansas State University. Both while at K-State and in law school, I tutored high school and college students in History, Writing, and English Literature. I focus on approaching these topics with a holistic attitude, tying history to the present and reading/writing to applicable life skills. While I still tutor in these subjects (and love working with students in them), I also am passionate about helping students who are planning on entering law...

...psychology education helped me understand why the reading institute was so effective and why many students struggle in other areas as well - they misuse their working memory! Our brains work by combining small bits of information at a time and the process can easily be derailed by anxiety, missing previous information, poor study habits, or a psychological condition. I've worked with students with each of these problems (and more) and seen the vast majority...

I hope to be able to use my academic and past tutoring experience to help students improve their performance. I believe in focusing on the process for the work instead of the specific answers to problems.... I believe that it is important to both answer any questions a student has and help them understand how to do the work so they will do well on their own.... I will talk with them about their goals, work with them through a few problems to see their strengths and weaknesses, and introduce some ways for them to start improving on their weaknesses.

...people in the Lawrence area, working together towards a goal makes it all the better. I grew up in Michigan and moved to Lawrence in 2013 for grad school, and I love it here. It's a pretty small town, so we've probably crossed paths at some point at the farmers market, at the monthly Free State Story Slam, or on an outdoor basketball court. And I hope we can make it work so that we'll...

...This summer I will be working as a legal intern with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Kansas City. I grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and received my undergraduate degree from Drury University in Springfield, MO. Before graduating I enlisted in the Navy where I spent 6 years working as an Arabic Language Analyst. During my time in the Navy I studied Arabic at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, where I obtained an...

...I studied as a Fulbright Scholar--and in Canada, where I taught at McGill University. I started teaching test-prep classes (GRE, LSAT, SAT, and GMAT) twenty years ago and have taught for several national companies. Teaching these classes has always been immensely gratifying due to the satisfaction of helping students prepare for and meet career goals. I particularly enjoy teaching the more complex subjects, such as the LSAT analytical reasoning and the GMAT quantitative comparison. I...

...improve and achieve more by just looking at problems differently. I like to demonstrate how critical thinking methods apply to every subject and situation. Unfortunately schools don't seem to focus on critical thinking to the level I believe would be beneficial. When it comes to standardized tests, my approach is to teach the student as many tips, tricks, and techniques as possible to increase their score. We all have the ability to do better, and...
