Award-Winning LSAT Tutors in Madison, WI

...rewarding aspects of working as a tutor. On a more personal note, I am an avid sports fan, but have somehow managed to split allegiances between Wisconsin and Illinois (I'm a Badger and a Packer, but also a Blackhawk and a Cub). I love traveling and getting out into the great outdoors, hence why I am living in Madison, Wisconsin at the moment. I am looking forward to working with Varsity Tutors this year!... Teaching is never about a one sided relationship; it is about being able to forge an intellectual relationship where the student feels comfortable, confident, and supported so that they can not only take in and learn the information that is being presented, but then go out and apply it. My teaching philosophy, then, is all about effective communication and understanding combined with a demand for effort and support with struggles.

...a great strategy for everyone, I find that my knowledge of the tests and the best study materials/methods is far deeper after having gone through all the work by myself than if I had had help. I know what doesn’t work, but more importantly I know what does. It’s my job to make your life easier by sparing you all the frustration I experienced! Standardized tests are a game. Working on a graduate degree in...

...to your specific learning methods. I'm a very visual learner myself, so I like to use images, real-world examples, and animations to ensure that you will truly UNDERSTAND the rationale for each step of the problem-solving method. MCAT sessions will emphasize practice with real AAMC passages as well as reviewing concepts. I will teach you tips, tricks, strategies, and patterns to watch out for that I have combed years of AAMC material to find.... My teaching philosophy is student-oriented: I try to tailor my tutoring style to the specific learning methods of the individual. I like to use visuals, real-world examples, and ensure that the student truly understands the rationale for each step of the problem-solving method.

...students with Literature and Writing as well. In my experience with tutoring, I have found that students can often learn best when the instruction is tailored to their needs. Each student has unique strengths and weaknesses, and I enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to play on those strengths and weaknesses in order to bring out the best performance from the student. Although law is still my passion, I've found that I truly enjoy...

...that students write best when they discover their unique mode of expression. Outside of tutoring, I care deeply about poverty law and public policy. I recently started a non-profit with a classmate from law school focused on providing direct legal services to low-income clients, and organizing low-income communities to campaign for social and economic equity. I love sports, rock climb pretty seriously, and play all kinds of music on guitar (still trying to figure out...

...school-aged students during the academic year. One of my supervisors at the summer camp referred to me as a "translator" who improved communication between other staff members, and I hope to play a similar role in translating the specialized language of the LSAT for my students at Varsity Tutoring. I believe in patient, organized, and methodical learning, so for any students who would benefit from it, I'd love to help form a long-term study plan...

...three years of law school I taught law classes at the Philadelphia prisons. That terrific experience made me realize how much I enjoyed teaching and interacting with my students. I believe that the best way to teach is not to give students answers but to guide them towards answers through constant practice. That principle guided me both as a teacher, and better yet, as a student. Having been a liberal arts double major, a law...

I am a graduate student currently completing a Master's degree and preparing for Law School at UCLA in the fall. I tutor in a variety of subjects but specializes in AP US History, SAT, ACT, and the LSAT. I am comfortable working with younger learners as well as high school, college and adult learners. Teaching students strategies and techniques so they can go into test day confident and prepared is my favorite part of tutoring!

...philosophy, political science, and religious studies students for two years. I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to...

...practicing law in the real world both help me to bring some practical perspective to the LSAT exam, not to mention my approachable attitude that makes me strive to work with an individual student's learning and motivational strengths. Generally, I enjoy the LSAT exam, but my favorite part is the logical reasoning section, which makes up half of the LSAT's scored portion. Working on logical reasoning not only helps one to succeed in law school,...
