Law school is graded on what you write, not what you know.
Most students know the rule. The ones at the top of the class know how to apply it the way their professor grades. That’s what I teach.
Most of my students finish at or near the top of their class.
For 1L Students
Doctrinal tutoring across every 1L subject — Civil Procedure, Contracts, Torts, Property, Criminal Law, Constitutional Law, Legal Writing, and Evidence — plus the exam-writing skills that separate top scores from middle-of-the-pack.
For LSAT Students
Score-focused LSAT preparation built around your specific weaknesses and timeline. Logical reasoning, reading comprehension, and writing.
For Bar Exam Takers
MBE, essays, and performance test preparation. Targeted to your jurisdiction and your weakest subjects.
More than hourly sessions
Tutoring is just the meeting time. The real work happens around it. I build out the materials and feedback that make sessions actually move the needle:
Custom outlines tailored to your professor and casebook
Practice exams in your professor’s style, with detailed written feedback
Legal writing edits on memos, briefs, and other assignments
Issue spotters and hypotheticals targeted to your weakest areas
Exam strategy memos before finals
You get materials and review on demand — not just an hour on a call.
Why this works
Law students rarely lose points because they don’t know the rule. They lose points because they didn't apply it the way their professor was looking for. Most tutoring stops at the black-letter law. I focus on what comes after: efficient outlining, sharp issue spotting, and IRAC responses calibrated to how your specific professor grades.
Sessions are remote, structured around your assignments and timeline, and built to address your actual weaknesses rather than a generic curriculum.
Background
I'm Sean, a J.D. with honors from the University of Chicago Law School, where I was on the Law Review. After law school, I clerked for a federal judge and went on to practice at several litigation boutiques. I currently work in federal court — so the doctrine I teach is doctrine I'm actively using, not material I last touched in law school.
What students say
“Sean saved me. I came out of first semester with a 2.8 and was at risk of losing my scholarship. With his help, I had a 3.7 second semester.”
— Brian Z., MSU College of Law
“Sean took my legal writing grade from a B- to an A.”
— Matthew D., Syracuse Law School
“I failed the Bar several times and went through four or five tutors before I began working with Sean. I passed on my next attempt.”
— Jessica T., Fordham University School of Law
