Apply to Tutor With Us
Teach the LSAT to students who are serious about law school. The work is remote, the hours are flexible, and you teach from a curriculum that is already built.
Every hire starts with this application. If it looks like a fit, the next step is a short interview where you teach a real LSAT question.
We strongly prefer applicants who have studied or worked with Hey Future Lawyer.
This is the single biggest factor in who we hire. If you took our course, worked with one of our tutors, sat in our live classes, or tutored for us before, you already know our curriculum, our approach to the test, and the way we explain questions. That is most of the job.
Applicants with that history move to the front of the line. A former HFL student with a strong score and a good teaching sample beats an outside applicant with a similar profile nearly every time. Outside applicants are considered selectively. Because our tutors must teach consistently with HFL’s methodology, strong LSAT scores and prior tutoring experience are not sufficient on their own.
What the role is
One-on-one LSAT tutoring over Zoom, plus optional live class teaching once you are up to speed. You set your weekly availability and we match students to it.
- 1One-on-one sessions with motivated students over Zoom
- 2Availability you set around school or another job
- 3A curriculum, question bank, and explanations already built for you
- 4Paid per session, with hours that grow as demand does
Who we hire
- Former HFL students and tutors. The strongest signal we have. You already know how we teach.
- High scorers who can teach. Most of our tutors score 170 or higher, but the interview is about explaining, not scoring.
- Reliable schedulers. Students build their week around their session, so showing up matters more than anything.
- Straight talkers. We want tutors who tell a student what is actually going wrong.
How we teach the LSAT
We teach the LSAT as reading comprehension and reasoning. Our explanations are in plain English: why the correct answer is correct, and why each wrong answer is wrong. A student should finish a question understanding the argument in front of her, not holding a new label for it.
That means there are things we deliberately do not rely on:
- Memorized strategies attached to question types
- Elaborate diagramming systems
- Indicator word lists to scan for
Our tutors teach HFL’s methodology. Reproducing whatever you personally used to get your own score is not the job, however well it worked for you. If you prepped a different way, that is fine, but you should want to teach this way. The application asks about both, and we would rather find a mismatch here than after we have hired you.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to have studied with Hey Future Lawyer to apply?
No. Anyone can apply, and outside applicants are considered selectively. We prefer applicants who already know our curriculum and how we teach, because they need far less ramp up and they already explain questions the way our students expect. Because our tutors must teach consistently with HFL’s methodology, strong LSAT scores and prior tutoring experience are not sufficient on their own. If you have not studied with us, read the section on how we teach and tell us how you would teach that way.
What LSAT score do you look for?
All of our tutors score 170 or higher. A high score on its own is not enough. Scoring well and teaching well are different skills, so the next step after a promising application is an interview where you actually teach a question.
What happens after I apply?
Your application goes straight to our tutoring team. If it looks like a fit, we send you a tutor interview: a few short questions about how you think about the test, two Logical Reasoning questions to write out, and one brief video where you teach a question out loud.
How many hours would I tutor?
It is flexible and it depends on demand and your availability. Most of our tutors work part time around school or another job. Tell us what you can realistically commit to and we will be straight with you about what we have.
Is this remote?
Yes. All sessions happen over Zoom, so you can tutor from anywhere in the US.
