Welcome to elleSAT!
elleSAT specializes in working with
neurodiverse and non-traditional
law school applicants.
Our Story
Women, on average, score lower than men on the LSAT, even though they earn higher GPAs in college. There’s also a pronounced difference between the number and proportions of men and women who score above 170 on the LSAT.
Most commercially available LSAT study material is created by men. Could this be a contributing factor to this persistent gender gap? That question inspired two friends to launch elleSAT: a women-led tutoring collective founded by and for first-generation, minoritized, and low-income law school applicants.
Every tutor on this site is an independent professional, hand-selected for their knowledge of the LSAT and their proven commitment to diversifying the legal profession by providing affordable, inclusive, customized learning experiences for students. Our affiliate network can help you through all stages of the application process, from LSAT prep to scholarship negotiation, and beyond. Additional services include personal statement editing, law school tutoring, and legal job search strategies.
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.
elleSAT’s day-to-day operations are managed by Kerry Monroe, Chief Executive Officer, and Jenna Browning, Chief Operating Officer. Alicia Slader of the Cherokee Nation serves as Director of Equity, Inclusion, and Institutional Partnerships.
