A fourth year Mock Trial competitor on UC Santa Barbara’s highly-ranked team, Raana first discovered her love for teaching through tutoring her team’s “newbies” on the basics of Mock Trial. Raana also works as a legal assistant and is currently completing a women’s history thesis. A true LSAT nerd, Raana loves the LSAT because it’s like a puzzle whose mastery can open so many doors for students.

Felipe

LSAT Score: 177

Education: Florida International University, B.S. Mathematics

Felipe joined Blueprint LSAT as an instructor and tutor in 2019. Now, Felipe works as a day trader, math curriculum consultant, and LSAT instructor. He studied mathematics at Florida International University, and went on to work as the director of a math learning center that specializes in designing custom learning plans for students of all ages. It was there that Felipe discovered his passion for test prep, helping students prepare for tests like the GMAT, GRE, SAT, ACT, ASVAB and many more. Somewhere in the course of his long teaching career Felipe discovered that he absolutely LOVED to teach two tests in particular: the GMAT and the LSAT. He scored a 177 on his LSAT, and a 780 on his GMAT (earning a perfect score on the quantitative section, and a 99th-percentile score on the verbal section). Teaching the LSAT, Felipe helps his students develop strong, consistent strategies for each question type they'll encounter, and delivers his instruction in a way that makes sense to them. When he isn't working, Felipe spends his free time playing chess, watching movies, and arguing about sports. Fun Facts: After moving to the States as a child, Felipe learned to speak English in about two weeks, mostly from watching The Simpsons. As you could imagine, this got him in some hot water with his elementary school teachers.See more

Education: New York University , B.A. Journalism and English

Amanda grew up in Southern California before moving to New York to attend NYU, where she double majored in journalism and English, with a minor in politics. Fluent in Swedish and currently learning German, she loves learning languages and found that approaching the LSAT like a new language to decipher and master reframed studying as a fun challenge. As a Blueprint alum and aspiring law student, Amanda is excited to join the Blueprint team. She aims to help students decode the exam and discover the study approach that works best for them. In her free time, Amanda enjoys writing poetry, traveling to try new restaurants, and collecting rare books. Fun Facts: True to her soccer and track & field background, Amanda loves long-distance running. She’s just begun training to run a marathon in Stockholm next summer, which she fears may prove to be an even more difficult mental game than studying for the LSAT.See more

Emma

LSAT Score: 180

Education: Oklahoma Baptist University, B.A. Political Science and Spanish

Emma grew up on the plains of Kansas before moving to the comparatively cosmopolitan outskirts of Boston. She now attends Oklahoma Baptist University where she’s a senior double majoring in political science and Spanish. In her free time on campus, she helps lead the school’s debate team and Oklahoma’s state collegiate moot court competition. Last summer Emma set her sights on the LSAT and self-studied to a 180 on test day. Her new goal is to bring that same dedication to the classroom while helping others learn the LSAT and improve their scores. Emma has come to love the LSAT’s special brand of complexity and solvability - especially questions requiring formal logic. On a normal night you can find her working out the deeply thought-provoking question of what to cook for dinner. A new ramen recipe? Tofu tacos? Or her all-time favorite: chili? Fun fact: As you might have guessed from her Spanish major, Emma loves learning languages! Besides her native English, she speaks fluent Spanish and basic conversational Portuguese. Lately she’s been thinking about picking up Vietnamese as well. If you ever need someone to nerd out about linguistics with, she’s your girl!See more

Jason

LSAT Score: 176

Education: University of Texas at Austin, Ph.D. Educational Psychology , Brigham Young University , B.A. History, Communication

He even wrote his dissertation on "flipping" an LSAT course. He's taught dozens of courses to hundreds of students in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Provo (UT), Austin, Houston, Ann Arbor (MI), St. Louis, New York City, and online. Jason loves teaching, and uses everything from classic 80's movie references to slightly mangled hip hop lyrics to help his students conquer the LSAT. Jason, his wife, and three daughters live in St. Louis, where he builds up the engineering faculty at Washington University in St. Louis by day and breaks down LSAT arguments by night. He's always up for a good conversation about film, books, gaming, politics, or the NBA, and firmly believes that the LSAT is one of the most learnable standardized tests in use. Fun Facts: As an Air Force brat growing up, Jason attended 11 different schools and lived in 14 houses before graduating from high school.

Having used Blueprint Prep to study for her June of 2021 LSAT, she is super excited to come back and pay forward her experience now as a tutor!

Navya

LSAT Score: 176

Education: McMaster University, B.A. Interdisciplinary

Navya is an aspiring law student and current indecisive undergraduate pursuing an interdisciplinary degree that lets her investigate the arts, the sciences, and the niche interests that tickle her fancy. Her current fascination is the idea of utopia and human progress (both individual and global). When not attending lectures or writing papers, Navya embraces her inner grandmother: her favorite pastimes are knitting, doing jigsaw puzzles, and cooking enough food to feed an army. The oldest of three, Navya's first students were her younger siblings. Since then, she's taught and tutored people of all ages and abilities — including coaching herself to a 176 on the August 2021 LSAT. She came back to teach because she found herself missing the test (she's particularly fond of Logic Games). As Blueprint's first Canadian hire, Navya's love for the LSAT truly transcends borders. She's excited to be helping you on your journey! Fun Facts: Navya has MANY opinions about classic literature. However, odds are she hasn't actually read the book she's currently going on about. (Unless it's Jane Austen or L. M. Montgomery, in which case she definitely has.)See more

Spencer

After a stint as a middle school science teacher back in N.Y. (and yes, he did light things on fire with the kids), Spencer made his way westward, to pursue a Ph.D. in English at UCLA. Spencer has taught over 40 in-person and Live Online courses for Blueprint since 2012, helping literally thousands of pre-law students improve their LSAT scores.

Abigail

LSAT Score: 175

Education: Fordham University, B.A. Theatre Performance and Humanitarian Studies

Abigail attended a STEM magnet program in high school and dreamed of becoming a neurosurgeon – until they auditioned for their school play and fell in love with theatre. 15 months later, Abigail began their new life as a double major in Theatre Performance and Humanitarian Studies at Fordham, and they haven’t looked back since. In 2020, Abigail discovered a passion for education, and they’ve worked with K-12 students in everything from devised theatre to AP Calculus. Yet their absolute favorite subject to teach is the LSAT! Standardized tests are in Abigail’s blood – they started taking the SAT when they were 10 years old – and out of all the tests they’ve encountered, the LSAT is by far the most learnable. They love helping students navigate the intricacies of the LSAT, ultimately turning a test that seems insurmountable into one that feels eminently conquerable. In their free time, Abigail loves sitting by the Central Park lakes, re-reading Brandon Sanderson books, and finding the all-time best Trader Joe’s snack (they’re always open to recommendations). Fun Fact: Abigail started watching The Bachelorette as a joke, but now, their love for reality dating shows is very real. Even more real than the shows themselves! They can (and have) talked for hours about how these shows only reflect what our society thinks reality “should” be. Yes, they’re a nerd about everything – even reality TV.See more
