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

Madelyn was a Blueprint student herself for two years, and she is extremely excited to give back to the company that helped her improve her score by 20 points. In her free time, Madelyn serves as a head coach for her alma mater's mock trial time (she just can't get enough of the pre-law world). She is looking forward to using her coaching and studying experiences to help students achieve a score increase that makes them proud!

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.

Abigail

LSAT Score: 175

Education: Fordham University, BA 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

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.

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

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.

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.

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!).

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.

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.

Grace

LSAT Score: 175

Education: Emory University, BS Neuroscience & Behavioral Biology

After growing up in rainy Portland, OR, Grace attended college in Atlanta, GA.

As a Blueprint alum and aspiring law student, Grace is thrilled to be returning to Blueprint as an instructor to help the next wave of future lawyers find success in their LSAT endeavors; she firmly believes that the LSAT is a fun puzzle that everyone has the ability to solve. In her free time, you’ll likely find her listening to Taylor Swift, carrying a camera around the streets of NYC, or lost in a book (probably Harry Potter or Percy Jackson for the 100th time).

Sean loves the rigor of the LSAT—the rigor of the exam's construction and language, and the rigor necessary to do well.
