Our Story
Most commercially available LSAT study material is created by men. elleSAT was founded by women who struggled to learn logic games from this material. Anita and Van feel there are subtle biases in these materials that make them less useful for women and people with learning differences (and we suspect they contribute to a persistent gender gap in LSAT scores).
We started elleSAT to bridge that gap. Every tutor on this site is an independent professional, hand-selected for their knowledge of the LSAT and proven commitment to diversifying the legal profession by providing affordable, inclusive, customized learning experiences for a broad array of students.
While we enjoy working with students of all identities and backgrounds, we approach the LSAT from an unapologetically femme perspective that frequently resonates with people who identify as women.

Anita Kinney, 177, $120/hr

She raised her score from the low 140s to 177 in just over three months and was admitted to two T14 law schools with over $300,000 in scholarships. She has a true appreciation for the LSAT because it allowed her to overcome her underwhelming college performance, and she views the test as an equalizer for other nontraditional and underrepresented students.

A trained librarian, she enjoys assigning supplemental material to her students to help them improve on reading comprehension. To this end, she runs elleSAT’s newsletter. She is pursuing her JD at the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law.
