Teach the method.
Not just the answer.
A practical, source-anchored reference for Burton Method tutors: every reusable teaching move, the definition behind it, the course example that makes it stick, and a cue for running it live.
Find the real blockage.
Find the move. Then teach it cleanly.
Search by phrase, question type, or the student behavior you’re seeing. Open any card for the tutor cue and exact source trail.
How the guide fits a real session
The course is the curriculum. The tutor’s job is to diagnose where the student’s process broke and get them using the right Burton-style move.
Review the work
Start with the actual lesson, drill, or miss. No generic agenda.
Locate the blockage
Ask what the student saw, expected, and did. Identify the missing process move.
Teach one tool
Use the concept card’s definition, source example, and tutor cue—not a competing framework.
Make them drive
Give a fresh, low-stakes application. The student must say or do the move themselves.
Lock the next rep
Turn the insight into the next TBMApp action, drill, or review task before they leave.
What this guide is grounded in
This is a tutor reference, not a replacement course and not a source for reproducing licensed LSAT material.
Primary working sources
The entries synthesize the team’s transcript-derived cataloging work. Each card links back to a concrete document and, where available, a video/lesson anchor.
104-lesson transcript sweep, RC, timing, and study-process coverage
Editor’s standard
Every entry separates three things tutors routinely blur together: the concept, its course example, and the live tutoring cue. That makes it possible to reteach the method without accidentally freelancing a new one.
The public-facing guide paraphrases course instruction and does not reproduce proprietary LSAT question text. Source labels identify the local course-analysis files and video anchors used to produce each summary.
