Gerry

LSAT Score: 173

Education: Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, J.D., Loyola Marymount University, B.A. 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

Sam

LSAT Score: 172

Education: University of Florida, B.A. Economics and History

Sam grew up in sunny Daytona Beach, Florida and graduated from the University of Florida in 2021 with degrees in Economics and History. After graduating, Sam began working as a tutor for elementary school students, and children with disabilities. Here, Sam discovered his passion for teaching and breaking down complex topics into bite-sized pieces of information that are easy to understand. Sam prepared for the LSAT by taking over 60 practice tests, and during this time he saw his score increase by over 20 points. His experience preparing for the exam solidified his belief that the LSAT is a learnable exam, and one that he is excited to help you master! In his free time you might find Sam surfing with friends, practicing John Mayer songs on guitar, or running games of pick-up basketball at his local court. Fun Facts: Sam once section-hiked 469 miles of the Appalachian Trail by himself in a month. He still has no good reason for why he did this.See more

Sam

LSAT Score: 174

Education: Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, J.D., University of California, Los Angeles, B.A. 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

Education: University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, J.D., University of California, Berkeley, B.A. 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, complex logic games 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.

Dylan

LSAT Score: 179

Education: Yale University, B.A. 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

Sean

LSAT Score: 177

Education: University of Texas School of Law, J.D., Texas A&M University, B.A. 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 (acing the logic games, his favorite section) 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, B.A. 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

He quickly fell in love with the concepts while self-studying his way to a 175 on the October 2021 digital exam. Now, after several months as a freelance tutor, Jacob is thrilled to join the Blueprint team! A prolific arguer on all topics, Jacob especially loves to teach common fallacies and formal logic. He also enjoys closely dissecting answer choices in each section, with an emphasis on understanding common patterns of tempting incorrect answers. When not thinking about the LSAT or working, Jacob is probably dominating the Chess board or embarrassing himself on the basketball court.

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.

Linette

LSAT Score: 175

Education: La Sierra University, B.S. 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.
