Manhattan LSAT Teachers - John Beer

If you don’t see John in a classroom, you’re most likely to run into him at a theater. As a theater writer for Time Out Chicago, he spends several nights a week checking out the latest productions at Steppenwolf and scrappy storefront start-ups.

Since receiving his bachelor’s in philosophy from Princeton, he’s tended bar, lived in Greece, served as a poetry editor, performed at Chicago’s ImprovOlympic, written for the Village Voice, and ridden in a limo with Cuba Gooding, Jr. He holds an MFA in creative writing from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, and is ABD at the University of Chicago in the Committee on Social Thought. His first book of poems, The Waste Land and Other Poems, is just out (hint, hint).

John’s taught at the University of Iowa, Northwestern, and Robert Morris College in Chicago. He also has a long test prep history, covering the SAT, ACT, LSAT, GMAT, and GRE. He most recently sat for the LSAT in Feb. 2010, receiving a 99th percentile 179.
