Jacob

LSAT Score: 175

Education: University of Notre Dame, BA Finance and Entrepreneurship

Jacob studied Finance and Entrepreneurship at the University of Notre Dame, graduating in 2019 and returning home to the warmer climate in Arkansas. Working in Corporate Finance by day and binge-watching Suits by night, Jacob decided to give the LSAT a try after testifying at a fascinating work-related deposition. He quickly fell in love with the concepts while studying his way to a 175 on the October 2021 LSAT. A prolific arguer on all topics, Jacob especially loves to teach argument structure and common flaws in arguments. He also enjoys closely examining answer choices across each section, with an emphasis on helping his students spot patterns among tempting incorrect answer choices. When not thinking about the LSAT or working, Jacob is probably dominating the Chess board or embarrassing himself on the basketball court. Fun Fact: In addition to Suits, Jacob is a superfan of The Office, and begins each lesson with a quote from Michael Scott or Dwight Schrute. See more

William

LSAT Score: 177

Education: University of Washington, BA International Studies

After graduating college with a bachelor’s in vague studies and an internship at the unemployment factory, Oscar’s future looked uncertain. His attempts at starting careers as a mountain climber, a kiteboarder, and a skier all fizzled when the $0/year salary failed to keep up with his expenses. Eventually, he made the choice to earn his keep by standing up for people who actually did have jobs, and became a full-time union organizer. But after working for a couple years, Oscar figured that he needed a change of pace from constantly “leaving his bedroom” and “going outside.” So, he tore his ACL and spent several weeks in his bed in the dark. This period of sensory deprivation made Oscar so deranged that he decided he wanted to be a lawyer, which is why he can (kind of) honestly say that he has been studying the LSAT since before he could walk. Oscar scored a 177 on the LSAT, and is confident that anyone with patience and dedication can learn to decode it. His experience explaining contracts and labor law as a union organizer helped him develop the ability to break down complex ideas in ways that anyone can understand, and his teaching style is conversational and interactive. When he’s not teaching the LSAT or working with his labor union, Oscar can be found at home reading or out on one of the PNW’s many hiking trails. Fun Facts: Oscar speaks Spanish (well) and Swedish (sort of well). He has climbed the tallest mountain in Washington State, the tallest mountain in Vietnam, and the tallest escalator in Washington, D.C. after it got stuck.See more

Ashton

LSAT Score: 174

Education: New York University School of Law, JD, Rhodes College, BA Greek and Roman Studies

Ashton grew up in the Austin area before it was cool to live there, and returned home after stints in Memphis, Rome, New York City, and Houston. She still has dreams about the food in every one of those places, and found time in law school to visit the best dessert spots in NYC between classes, volleyball games, and cramming for finals. Ashton scored a 174 on the LSAT in 2015 and accepted a full ride to New York University School of Law. She's excited to help her Blueprint students achieve their LSAT dreams and reach their full potential. Ashton loves the logical reasoning section of the test and believes you can too: it's your socially acceptable chance to pick arguments apart for minor errors and get rewarded for it! Fun Facts: Ashton had a high school graduating class size of two people, and won back-to-back National Junior Classical League championships. She is also unreasonably invested in the University of Texas' volleyball team, and loves taking her Miniature Australian Shepherd dog Pancho for hikes in the Texas Hill Country. See more

Jonah

LSAT Score: 179

Education: Georgetown University, BS International Politics

Jonah graduated from Georgetown University in 2024, majoring in International Politics with a minor in Arabic.

After earning a 179 on the LSAT, Jonah joined Blueprint as an instructor in February 2025. Jonah had to try lots of different resources to find an LSAT study program that makes sense for him, and understands the benefit of having someone to provide explanations and study techniques that work for different learning styles. Fun facts: In his first month in Alaska, Jonah processed over 200 pounds of raw moose for himself, friends, and coworkers. Jonah also likes to repair watches in his spare time. See more

Ross

LSAT Score: 173

Education: University of California, Los Angeles, BA England and Political Science, University of Southern California, JD

Ross has a penchant for frustrating hobbies (he’s the author of thousands of failed tricks, missed waves, and unforced errors when skating, surfing, and playing tennis), so it’s perhaps no surprise that he was attracted to a frustrating test like the LSAT. Even after graduating from USC Law in 2013, he couldn’t escape the fierce grasp of this wily exam. So, Ross decided to start helping other people with the LSAT in 2014. Since then, he’s worked as an LSAT teacher and content creator. He’s led dozens of in-person and online courses, tutored hundreds of students, helped develop several LSAT courses, created hundreds of written and video LSAT explanations, written many articles about the exam for several outlets, and has hired, trained, and mentored dozens of other LSAT instructors. He’s been around this test for a long time. But he’s never become bored thinking about the test or helping his students achieve life-changing score increases. Although Ross enjoys the LSAT’s challenging nature, he knows that not everyone shares his enthusiasm for being humbled by a standardized test. So, Ross strives to create a comfortable and convivial learning environment in which asking questions and making mistakes are embraced as integral parts of the learning process. Ross also tries to meet every student on their level, demystifying the LSAT through a series of colorful, intuitive examples and analogies he’s built up over a decade in the field. After clarifying the test, Ross aims to show how his students already possess much of the reading and analytical skills needed for the LSAT — they just need a little nudge to apply these skills to the LSAT. Fun Fact: Not to date himself, but Ross once won a water bottle on the ‘90s Nickelodeon game show What Would You Do? See more

Mella

LSAT Score: 175

Education: University of Chicago, BA Public Policy and History

After growing up in San Francisco and Bristol, England, Mella moved to Chicago to do her undergraduate studies at UChicago, where she fully embraced her love of a good argument. However, her passion for arguments started a lot earlier, when she joined her high school mock trial team. Since then, she has been set on becoming a lawyer, working in a variety of legal environments including the law clinics at UChicago and several legal nonprofits. In her own studies for the LSAT, Mella became semi-obsessed with the legal reasoning section, which she attributes to the Blueprint method. She loves finding flaws in arguments and helping others begin to spot them too. Her aim is to guide students towards their own personal “light-bulb” moments, helping the LSAT feel like a solve-able puzzle! In her free time, Mella teaches open ballet classes, drinks a lot of matcha, and goes swimming in Lake Michigan (when the weather permits). Fun Facts: Mella is left-handed and a twin— a pretty rare combo!See more

Maya

LSAT Score: 175

Education: University of Texas Austin, BA Government and History

At the wise old age of thirteen, Maya decided that American history was slightly (and only slightly) cooler to her than surgery and set out on her trek to become a lawyer, or at least someone who can pretend to be cool by pointing out how inaccurate courtroom scenes in movies are. As you can imagine, taking the LSAT when you've wanted to be a lawyer since duct tape wallets and mustaches were still a trend can seem like a stressful experience, but luckily Maya had the help of some really great Blueprint instructors that helped her score a 175 on test day, so she decided to join the Blueprint team to give back to other students pursuing their dream scores. An extrovert at heart, Maya brings an engaging presentational style to the classroom and loves supporting students holistically in their LSAT journey, from reading comprehension to reminders to drink water and get sleep before taking practice tests. Maya received her bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2025, majoring in Plan II Honors, history, and government. Her background is in criminal justice work and American social history. And yes, as a Texas native, she's very concerned about the state of Tex-Mex style cuisine in the rest of the United States. Fun Facts: Maya has been doing art her entire life and operates upon what she calls "a basis of pure hubris," which has led her to, among other things, create a full-scale art doll in under eight hours, come up with puppeteered costume pieces for renaissance fairs, and sew various articles of clothing for her pets, all skills in which she has no formal training. Blueprint informed her that paying employees in craft store coupons is "illegal" and that she has "student loan payments to make" but she finds that suspicious.See more

Nicholas

LSAT Score: 178

Education: Boston College, BA Philosophy

Nick attended Boston College, studying Philosophy and receiving the Bapst Philosophy prize. Alongside the award he received the following advice: “Philosophy opens up two careers, Teaching or Law.” In a moment of insight, he decided to combine the two by teaching future lawyers! Nick has been a tutor since 2020, and joined Blueprint as an instructor and tutor in April, 2025. With a 178 on the LSAT, and experience as a science teacher, Nick knows what it takes to get difficult concepts to “click” for students.

Nick is committed to helping students master the test and experience their own “click” moments on the path to becoming great lawyers. When not teaching, Nick enjoys reading with his two baby girls.

Madelyn

LSAT Score: 172

Education: University of California, Santa Barbara, BA Communication, UCLA, JD

Madelyn graduated summa cum laude from UCSB in 2022, studying Communication with minors in Professional Writing and Technology Management. While she loved living right next to the beach, she traded the ocean for skyscrapers after graduation. She first worked in sales in San Francisco before ultimately moving to Los Angeles for law school. Now, she is a current law student at UCLA. A Blueprint alumna herself, Madelyn firmly believes in giving back to the communities that helped her get to where she is now. That's why her free time is full of teaching Blueprint classes, coaching her college's mock trial team, and volunteering with her high school's speech and debate team. Although the awards she earned in these activities were great, they are not her fondest memories. Rather, the most important things she learned were empathy, teamwork, and diligence -- qualities that now define her instruction. She shows up to each class with the mentality that if she could earn a 20 point increase by taking Blueprint's Live Course, each of her students can too. She hopes to learn with you soon! Fun Facts: Madelyn can name any Taylor Swift song in under 3 seconds. She also named her cat after LeBron James. Her interests are all over the place. See more
