I break the LSAT down in a clear, concise way.
Whatever your availability may be, I offer sessions that work with your personal schedule.
From the beginning, your LSAT tutoring experience is tailored to you.
Many LSAT tutors don’t dive in where you’re at when you begin studying. I do.
So you’ve decided you want to be a lawyer. Why? To help people? Defend victims? Maybe you have a knack for picking a word-fight. If you do, good. You need to be able to fight with words to be a lawyer, and words are a big part of what the LSAT is about.
To reach a desired score for the test that’ll start your law education requires precise analytical and logical reasoning. Through questions that are full of context. This test is written strategically to assess your foundational skills, habits, and attentiveness to detail — things you will need when you become a lawyer.
For some, that is easy. For others, not so much. Whether you’re taking this test for the first time or you’ve taken it more than once, here’s an important thing I want to emphasize to you: this isn’t your clear-cut standard test with obvious right and wrong answers. The LSAT is a series of in-the-moment judgment calls based on given circumstances. It’s a test in which you must make choices.
There are no easy tricks or rules to memorize in order to take this test. It’s about your approach to analyzing these questions accurately and efficiently. I can’t stress this enough: this test is not about you. If you become a lawyer, your job is to zealously advocate for your client, regardless of your personal opinion on anything.
Similarly, this test is about determining the relevant factors and weighing them based on context, not your personal opinion.
Have you taken the LSAT before? How many times? Are you getting stuck on the same types of questions? Not even sure where the problem is? My approach to tutoring you for this test is to ask: Where are you at? Then, we talk about it. From over 10 years of helping numerous students, what I’ve found is most of the time, what you’re really looking for is a conversation about it.
The fact is this: no one’s truly ever told you how to look at the LSAT. You understand the fundamentals, and may even have strategies to take this test, but you still miss questions. Maybe you even consistently narrow it down to two answer choices that are so close but you just can’t figure out how to pick the right one.
What you need is a system for approaching this test that works for you. I help you figure that out.. Let’s see where you’re at. Let’s find out what you’re doing that works so that you can work on the things that need improvement.

Here’s what’s different about me. I get to know how your brain works, your patterns, and break down why you may be struggling with a concept.
I don’t give every one of my students the same exact study schedule or say that they have to study X amount of times per week.
You take a lesson then you schedule the next one to focus on a certain concept you may need to improve on. If you need more than one lesson per week, great. If you don’t, that’s fine too.
You decide how many lessons you need with me, then we find a schedule that works for us. Maybe it starts at 1 lesson one week, and you suddenly realize you need 3 more the next week. I go by a lesson-by-lesson basis because everyone grasps the LSAT differently.
I also understand that not everyone can afford an LSAT tutor on a regular basis. I take your life circumstances into consideration. I’m behind you 100%. I’m with you for as long as it takes. What matters is the work you put into your LSAT studying outside of your sessions with me.
As you well know, LSAT Tutors are incredibly valuable. That’s how you got here to my website. With that in mind, pricing is as follows:
Lessons: $200 per hour.
I offer an advanced-booking discount. The amount of lessons is up to your discretion. If you book for the whole month in advance, each lesson is 25% off.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me.
I’m a person who solves puzzles. The LSAT is a series of little puzzles inside a massive one. I have numerous degrees and was an Associate Attorney for 5 years. In those 5 years — plus all my educational experience, as student and as a teacher — solving puzzles was a big part of that. To learn more about me and to see a list of my degrees, read about it on the About Page.
The real answer is that it all depends on a number of factors. There is no one single magical amount that gets it done. Here are some factors: Where are you starting? How much of a score increase do you want to see? What needs to change? What comes easy to you? What is hard for you? How willing are you to make those changes? Are you practicing effectively to develop the skills that will bring the change you need?
The general estimate is 10 points but I’ve had students see as little as a 3 point increase to as much as a 40 point increase. It depends on the factors from the question above.
There are actually objective factors to look at in each question. You have to learn to recognize the key factors based on context and then take on the challenge of shifting between questions that require precise mechanical analysis with attention-to-detail and those that require you to balance softer factors that are not so formulaic.
This is normal. Usually there’s a small factor you’re overlooking or not thinking about. Bring some examples of when this has happened to you to your session and we can look for patterns and discuss what adjustments you need to make.
The current restriction, as of July 9, 2024, is that you can take the LSAT a maximum of five times in a 5-year period and seven times in your lifetime. But this policy does change from time to time and you can check the current policy at https://www.lsac.org/about/lsac-policies/limits-on-repeating-lsat
Beginning with the August 2024 test administration the writing portion of the test is switching to what they're calling the "Argumentative Writing." This portion of the test will still be unscored for the 2024-2025 test year and is still intended to be based on information they give you. The new prompt will consist of multiple perspectives on an issue and then an opportunity for you to respond or engage with those perspectives. They are also changing the timing so that you have 15 minutes to read the material they give you and plan your essay and still have 35 minutes to write the essay. There is a sample prompt available on LawHub through your LSAC account and you can read further details about the new writing at https://www.lsac.org/lsat/about/lsat-argumentative-writing
