Manhattan LSAT Teachers - Aileen Nielsen

A graduate of Yale Law School, Aileen is thrilled to be working with Manhattan LSAT in New York and New Haven. She has taught and tutored the LSAT in Chicago and Las Vegas and now looks forward to bragging about future former Manhattan LSAT students as they become maverick litigators living out their Law & Order inspired dreams. Already strongly branded by her exposure to a rigorous Socratic method, Aileen is a merciless cold-caller when she teaches, but unlike many law school professors, she’ll also always end with an answer.

Aileen began taking standardized tests at the tender age of four, and she hasn’t stopped since. With 99th percentile scores in the SAT, GRE, GMAT, and LSAT under her belt, she’s starting to worry about running out of tests to take. Aileen first started teaching as a freshman at Princeton University (CPR), then moved onto the SAT and ESL, and graduated into LSAT preparation a few years ago. She always enjoys seeing and solving new problems and tries to impart this passion to every student she encounters.

An avid standardized test-taker, Aileen also enjoys playing competitive Scrabble non-competitively and believes this has contributed to her love of the LSAT Logic Games. Aileen additionally likes exploring supermarkets in foreign countries and hiking in the Catskills.
