Award-Winning LSAT Tutors in Suffolk, VA

...2 years. I'm passionate about investing in students because I know the profound impact that my teachers made on my life. If I hadn't had teachers in high school, college, and law school who were willing to spend their personal time mentoring and tutoring me, I would not have excelled to my current position. Therefore, I endeavor to give others the same one-on-one help that I received. Every student deserves a patient teacher who will...

...tutoring with Varsity Tutors. While studying for the LSAT can be a stressful time, it can also be a fun experience. I believe it is important to tailor each tutoring session to the individual student's needs, and focus on whatever areas are most important or challenging to them. I like to approach the LSAT as a game or puzzle, and encourage students to challenge themselves to solve the questions that they find most difficult, rather...

...the subject, and led me to pursue the legal profession. Writing gives me a way to express my thoughts and opinions, and as such, it quickly became one of my favorite subjects. By treating students as peers and working with them to hand tailor lesson plans that fit their learning style, I see quick and dramatic advancements in students' understanding and in their grades/scores. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, traveling, pilates, tennis, swimming,...

...attended a bilingual Montessori program called Intercultura. There, I discovered the joy of organic learning. I eventually went on to study in more traditional schooling environments, including majoring in Economics at Washington University in St. Louis. However, I never forgot Intercultura and the freedom it allowed me to pursue my budding academic interests. I have tried to bring that same principle of student self-construction into my role as a tutor; whether I've been preparing collegians...

...one year at a liberal arts college in Singapore, where I worked in the writing center and mentored students extensively in academic writing. Since then, I have been traveling, while continuing to tutor writing skills online. I emphasize learning how to write a clear, organized, and persuasive argument supported by solid evidence. In addition, I have experience tutoring students one-on-one with academic subjects and test prep. I enjoy helping my students discover the patterns behind...

...LSAT's scored portion. Working on logical reasoning not only helps one to succeed in law school, but it improves an individual's ability to think critically about things that occur in life every day. For recreation, all the aspects of living in Uptown Minneapolis entertain me, particularly living by the Chain of Lakes. I regularly spend time around the lakes, bicycling, jogging, walking, canoeing, and just hanging out. Beyond that, I enjoy reading, following current events,...

...your background. In a lot of ways, you've been preparing for these tests your whole life, especially in areas like Reading Comprehension - my job is just to guide you to some tools and tactics that will enhance your own knowledge and bridge any gaps between you and the exam. I'll work to make sure you feel confident when you attack the test, even in tricky sections like Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games).... My goal is to make sure you feel confident in "running your own race" when you head into the test room. Testing shouldn't be about hitting some arbitrary number; it should be about you giving the test your all and having the best test day you can reasonably have. To that end, I emphasize practicality and flexibility when teaching. You can drill lists of question types into your head and memorize silly acronyms about how to approach a question from a test prep book all you want, but if the methods you learn don't fit with you and your background, then it's not going to help you on test day. Rather than focus on byzantine methods, I want to help you develop brick-by-brick the logical and analytical skills you'll need and build upon your existing skills to make you comfortable on each section of the test. I'm there to support you by working from your baseline, showing you how to hammer through even the most convoluted questions, and taking what works for you and chucking the rest.

...have experience tutoring elementary math and English, teaching science labs to fifth grade classes, and leading health labs for high school students. I also have worked helped students prep for the Law School Admissions Test. I am able to tutor a wide variety of subjects, as I have an interdisciplinary background. However, I like to focus on standardized testing (LSAT and SAT), college essays and general essay skills, and math. In my free time, I...

I recently graduated with a 3.6 GPA from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, which is regarded as arguably the top communications program in the country. This comes after graduating from North Hunterdon High School with a 3.8 GPA and a 2140 composite SAT score. My best subject on the SAT was math, although I also scored highly on both the reading comprehension and writing sections. I also took the LSAT...

...the younger members. I would help them prepare for upcoming topics while working with them to develop their speaking, writing and research skills. I'm currently teaching two after-school classes, one in Pre-Calculus and the other in Biology. I am very comfortable tutoring in Math (up to Pre-Calc), Science (Biology, Physics, Chemistry), Government, Economics, and Essay Composition. I also work with test prep students (ISEE, SAT, ACT, and LSAT). In my free time, I like playing basketbal,...
