    About Rory B.

    Have helped students with their college and graduate school applications (creating a powerful narrative, editing personal statements), tutored the SAT and LSAT.

    Experience

    professional artist

    Feb, 2012 - Present

    self-employed

    About halfway through my law degree, I realized that I wanted to pursue painting more than anything else. I had initially considered going into art law, but then realized that essentially it's still law and that's not for me. I have been making a living off of my paintings for the last couple of years. I finished out the Juris Doctorate, despite knowing I wouldn't practice law halfway through. This was in part because I was on a full-merit scholarship as well as the fact that I don't like quit something once I've started. I am happy to speak with anyone debating law school or who is about to enter and needs advice about first year.

    tutor/college and graduate applications help

    Sep, 2010 - Present

    self-employed

    I moved to Pittsburgh this week (6/3/14) and decided to get on TakeLessons.com here - that is why I have no reviews as of yet. I have helped students with their college applications and graduate school applications as wells as SAT and LSAT prep. With my educational background, top-level study skills and test taking skills (with top SAT scores, LSAT and test taking during laws school) and diverse studies at Rice University, I have confidence that I can help a student at any level with the subjects I have marked.
