Entrance Exams: LSAT

Get to Know Martina

What do you enjoy most about tutoring?

As a tutor, I enjoy acting as both a teacher and a supporter. One of the most challenging parts of learning the LSAT is training your brain to think in new ways, and pushing past frustration and anxiety. I enjoy providing encouragement as a student masters difficult concepts and sharing strategies that have worked for me.

Talk about a specific time when you helped a student overcome a challenge.

When I taught an LSAT prep course, I was approached by a student who was concerned that his practice test score had dropped since taking the initial diagnostic. I shared my experience with frustrations during my LSAT journey and pointed him towards resources he could use to troubleshoot his performance.

What is your tutoring style? How do you engage with your students?

I aim to guide students toward learning by using reflection and empathy. Rather than simply demonstrating how to answer a question, I break down the process into simple steps. Knowing the emotional challenges many students experience during their LSAT studies, I teach students to use confidence-building strategies to increase their growth mindset and promote self-reflection.

Talk about your favorite teacher. What made him or her so special?

My favorite teacher was an English professor at my undergraduate school. I enjoyed her metacognitive approach to teaching writing studies because it encouraged students to form their own opinions and challenge existing scholarship from multiple perspectives. The professor fostered inclusive discussions and allowed every student to make a meaningful contribution.
