Steven D. Litvintchouk, M.S.

Steven brings a unique combination of rigorous academic training and decades of experience in technical documentation and educational content development. He does not practice law - his expertise lies in how people learn complex material efficiently.

As Chief Educational Researcher at Elegant E-Learning, Inc., he has helped over 11 million students pass high-stakes exams through scientifically-grounded practice methods.

He holds an M.S. from MIT (1978) and a B.S. from Columbia University (1975).

• Learning Science and Methodology: Spaced repetition systems, adaptive difficulty calibration, immediate feedback loops that reinforce correct reasoning.
• Content Quality Assurance: NCBE alignment verification, multi-step answer accuracy checks, plain-English explanation standards.
• Question Bank Development: Authored and edited thousands of practice questions; developed quality control processes for educational content at scale.

Bar exam success isn't just about knowing the law - it's about retrieving that knowledge under pressure.

Steven's role is to design the learning experience: how questions are sequenced for optimal spacing, how explanations are structured for maximum retention, how difficulty progresses to build confidence.

The legal content comes from NCBE-licensed materials and is verified against authoritative legal sources. Steven ensures that content is presented in the most pedagogically effective way.
