“I ended up with an A- in legal writing. I busted my butt on the brief and got an A!!”
After a successful first 1L semester, I was looking to polish my exam writing with a conditional transfer acceptance in hand. I wanted to put myself in the best position to maintain/build upon my first semester grades. I reached out to Amanda after following her on Linkedin and finding her writing and law school tips incredibly helpful (you should follow #dear1L).
Amanda’s work is excellent both substantively and in the effort she puts into getting to know you as a person to support your goals. She looks at your writing from all angles: looking at my past exams, preparing timed practice exams, and analyzing my legal writing assignments. I appreciated her diving into all areas of my writing to improve my exams and future memos/briefs.
She shifted how I think about exam writing and legal issues in general: as a lawyer, you have to wear two hats. Getting to all the legal issues in a nuanced way is only possible if you think about the case from the plaintiff’s POV and then separately analyze it from the defendant’s POV. No one talks about this in law school!
Importantly, Amanda cares about building rapport and trust. She took time to chat about my career goals and learn about me as a person — even sharing her own career experiences and advice along the way. Having worked with tutors in the past and tutoring students myself, the relationship built with a student is crucial for them to be receptive to feedback and for deeper learning. Amanda makes you feel supported every step of the way!

“I just got an offer for a 2L summer associate position at Locke Lord LLP in Houston! I can’t describe how exciting this feels!”
I also just want to say thanks again. I’m not sure if you see yourself as a mentor to students who you talk via email, but I certainly would consider you a mentor to me during 1L. Your feedback on exams, along with all the work you do on LinkedIn, makes a real difference for law school students. Without it, I don’t know if I would have performed as well in the spring or had the energy to invest in OCI. I still read your Dear 1L posts just to get in the right mindset and learn something new. Thanks for everything you do.
Its been my goal to land a big law position for nearly six years. Last semester I thought my grades ruined my shot. Your help made it happen. Thank you so much for that. Now I just can’t wait to get started.”
