Linette

LSAT Score: 175

Education: La Sierra University, BS Business and Management

Linette spent most of her childhood on her grandparents’ farm in Romania before learning English and moving to the U.S. as a teenager. She eventually entered La Sierra University as a Pre-Dental student, but soon decided she felt more comfortable examining oral testimony than oral cavities, and switched to a pre-law track. After graduating and earning a 175 on the LSAT, Linette joined Blueprint as an instructor April 2019, leading many Live Online and in-person Blueprint LSAT courses. Linette understands that everyone learns differently, which is why she makes sure to adapt her classes and teaching style to her students' needs. She also believes it’s extremely important to celebrate the small victories along the way, preferably with some rocky road ice cream (although any dessert would be acceptable). In her free time, Linette likes to get back to her roots by backpacking and camping in the wild. Although there are no goats around, the occasional bear and deer make up for that. Fun Facts: Linette has traveled to every country in Europe, and also earned a 99th-percentile score on the Dental Admissions Test.See more

Steve

LSAT Score: 173

Education: University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, JD, University of California, Berkeley, BA Rhetoric and Legal Studies

Steve is a music producer and composer who loves all forms of entertainment media and trying to figure out what makes some great and others horrendous. As an instructor and tutor for Blueprint since 2018, Steve has worked with dozens of students to tackle the LSAT and prepare themselves for law school. He spent countless hours with students working through tricky logical reasoning questions and obtuse reading comprehension passages. In his studies, Steve was the rare double Bear, graduating from both undergraduate studies and law school at UC Berkeley. In undergrad, he earned honors in both Rhetoric and Legal Studies, culminating in a thesis on the intersection between Enlightenment era philosophy and Christopher Nolan’s Memento (no, really!). After law school, Steve spent a few years in civil litigation, ranging from working on intellectual property issues, researching and writing appellate briefs and motions, clerking for a judge in the federal court system, helping low-income individuals obtain life-or-death restraining orders and advocating for homeless rights. His teaching style centers on trying to make the LSAT approachable and fun by injecting a frequent number of dad jokes (despite not being a dad) and walking through the logic behind the test. When not teaching the LSAT, you can find Steve watching Rick and Morty on repeat and working on his compositions. Fun Facts: Steve makes and produces music under the stage name Swansonic.See more

Sam

LSAT Score: 174

Education: Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, JD, University of California, Los Angeles, BA Economics

Sam has been an instructor and tutor with Blueprint since March 2011 — albeit with a brief sojourn to earn a J.D. at Pepperdine Law. His journey to becoming one of Blueprint LSAT's most experienced instructors and tutors began in the scenic metropolis of Stockton, CA. Sam begrudgingly moved to Los Angeles for college, where he graduated from UCLA with a BA in Economics. Ever since, he has instructed students of all ages in a wide range of subjects, particularly math. In fact, Sam brings over 10 years of teaching experience to the field he enjoys most: the LSAT. Sam's love of teaching and tutoring the LSAT stems from his desire to see others succeed. He takes great joy in helping people with little or no familiarity with the LSAT develop such a thorough understanding of the test that their scores skyrocket. He also understands the fears and anxieties many people have about test-taking and law school admissions; handling and overcoming those fears are part of many of his favorite success stories. With a decade of experience in LSAT Prep, he has thoroughly enjoyed seeing his students thrive in law school and their legal careers. Fun Facts: Sam splits his spare time between visiting the beach and poring over sports statistics. His latest obsession is attempting to project hitting statistics for the upcoming baseball season. He recognizes that this in no way makes up for his lack of physical coordination.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

Dylan

LSAT Score: 179

Education: Yale University, BA Philosophy

Dylan attended Yale, where he represented the university's debate team and became the second person ever to be both a national debate champion and North American debate champion, and the only American undergrad to win Cambridge University's invitational tournament. He also found time to study philosophy; upon graduation, he realized the local philosophy factory wasn't hiring, and found work as a used car salesman, an online poker pro, and an MCAT instructor. Before long, Dylan found his true passion: teaching the LSAT. Dylan has taught countless one-on-one tutoring students and 50 LSAT courses with Blueprint since 2011, helping his students understand the LSAT, improve their score, and attend law school. Dylan believes strongly in using anticipation to find that right answer. He believes that putting the work in early on questions pays off dividends later on. He also believes strongly in using his dog Spaghetti as an example whenever possible, to help clarify difficult concepts on this exam. Fun Facts: In addition to asking him about his LSAT hacks, you can ask Dylan about cooking hacks he picked up as a professional cook. In fact, Dylan has never had a “normal” desk job: he’s been a professional gambler, used car salesman, cook, and longtime teacher.See more

Arushi

LSAT Score: 180

Education: University of Pennsylvania, BSE Operations, Information, and Decision Making

Arushi attended the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, graduating in 2021. After school, she continued down the finance route at a tech-focused growth equity fund. However, since captaining her Mock Trial team in high school, law has always been her true passion (this became abundantly clear as she would sit at her desk listening to Supreme Court oral arguments instead of music). She's currently in the process of applying to law school and hopes to pursue work in the civil rights or immigration space. She has taken the LSAT twice and is actually a Blueprint Alum - crediting the course for her 11 point jump to a perfect score. She's excited to be an instructor and tutor because her own studying process has shown how teachable this test is (and how satisfying it can be when something clicks) and she can't wait to pass on those skills. Fun Fact: She loves a good adrenaline rush from skydiving and bungee jumping over the Swiss Alps, to scuba diving in Greece or cliff jumping in Jamaica.See more

Patrick

LSAT Score: 172

Education: Duke University School of Law, JD, Notre Dame, BA Liberal Studies

With his preparation for cocktail parties complete, he moved on to Duke University, picking up his law degree. A true Jack of all trades, Patrick has worked for appellate judges, private law firms, and startup software companies, but he is most inspired when he's shepherding his LSAT students toward their law school dreams. In class, Patrick considers himself a Logical Reasoning guru, taking great care to unravel the logic of each question type and demystify even the most opaque of questions. Fun Facts: A distance runner and pizza-making aficionado, Patrick finds his hobbies to complement each other, as he can just barely outrun his appetite.See more

Sean

LSAT Score: 177

Education: University of Texas School of Law, JD, Texas A&M University, BA English

Sean couldn't decide between rival schools, so he went to Texas A&M and then the University of Texas for law school. He discovered his passion for the LSAT and tutoring after earning a 177 on his LSAT (back when there were two Logical Reasoning sections—two is back again!) and has been teaching the exam (among others) since 2007. Sean loves the rigor of the LSAT—the rigor of the exam's construction and language, and the rigor necessary to do well. Sean is a full-time private teacher and tutor—in his spare time, he writes short fiction, misses way too many open threes playing basketball, and dotes on his one-year old. Fun Facts: Sean spent the bulk of the pandemic on the road with his fiancé, and eloped (after a cancelled wedding) in Oregon. Easy place to get married!See more

Townes

LSAT Score: 174

Education: University of California, Los Angeles, BA Philosophy and French

Townes accidentally discovered her love for logic puzzles when she registered for an introductory logic course at UCLA in an effort to fulfill her general education requirements without taking any math classes (tip for the math haters). Townes wound up studying advanced formal logic and philosophy of language before graduating in 2019 with a double major in philosophy and French. Townes aims to build confidence in each of her students by encouraging them to celebrate their strengths and achievements. Her favorite section of the LSAT is Reading Comprehension. Fun Facts: Townes has watched every cooking competition show in existence, probably, and she believes that Guy's Grocery Games is vastly underrated.See more

Ted

LSAT Score: 177

Education: Southern Adventist University, BA Communication and History

Ted is a history guy. He was the president of the history club at his college and knows the names of every Roman Emperor (feel free to put him to the test!). He loves analyzing logic from historical figures (almost) as much as tackling LSAT Logical Reasoning questions. In his free time, you can find him debating with his friends arguments from Plato, to the Apostle Paul, to the Quran. But the most exciting thing for him is connecting with students and watching them grow. He has always had a passion for teaching. After taking the LSAT himself, he decided to make sure other students are able to achieve their LSAT dreams too. Ted joined blueprint in April, 2024 as an instructor and tutor. Committed to the idea that with enough practice any person can achieve any score they want, Ted makes the complicated and unapproachable parts of the test familiar and conquerable. He has been tutoring since he was in 8th grade and loves getting to know his students and learning their individual strengths and weaknesses. Fun fact: Ted also loves video games. As a kid, his passion for history was sparked by the Assassin's Creed games and Age of Empires.See more

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

Gerry

LSAT Score: 173

Education: Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, JD, Loyola Marymount University, BA Philosophy

Upon graduating from college, Gerry decided that spending his time avoiding growing up was far more desirable than any other option. After working as a touring musician, he then decided to spend time with people of a similar maturity level and became an elementary school teacher. One day, on a casual bike ride (from San Francisco to Los Angeles), Gerry decided that taking the LSAT sounded like a fun idea. He scored a 173, and soon joined Blueprint’s team of instructors and tutors. Gerry’s time teaching elementary school children and touring with temperamental musicians instilled a lot of patience in Gerry, making Gerry's teaching style laid back and empathetic. He enjoys incorporating anecdotes to help his students stay entertained and more vividly remember LSAT concepts. Gerry graduated from Northwestern Law cum laude in 2018 and has worked in commercial litigation. Gerry now splits his time teaching the LSAT, recording music, and taking the occasionally epiphanic bike ride through L.A. Fun Facts: Substituting quality for quantity, Gerry has learned to "fake it pretty well" on over 10 instruments and has performed with musicians ranging from Willie Nelson to Howie D (the guy from the Backstreet Boys with a ponytail).See more
