About Nicholas
With over six years of experience as an LSAT instructor at Kaplan, I’ve helped hundreds of students achieve their law school goals through a combination of strategic insight, personalized instruction, and a deep understanding of the LSAT’s logic and structure. My teaching style blends clarity, patience, and efficiency—breaking down complex concepts and helping students build the confidence and skills needed for top scores. Having worked with students from diverse academic backgrounds, I specialize in tailoring my approach to meet each individual’s learning style, whether they’re aiming for incremental improvement or a 170+ score. I’ve guided students into top law schools including Harvard, NYU, and Berkeley Law, and I remain passionate about making legal education more accessible and achievable for all. Whether you’re just starting your LSAT journey or pushing for those final few points, I’m here to help you master the test—and feel empowered doing it.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how transformative the right guidance can be. When I was preparing for the LSAT, I felt it was a challenge and there was some pressure, due to the unfamiliar logic, and the weight of what was at stake. It wasn’t until I connected with a mentor who helped me see the test not as an obstacle, but as a learnable skill, that everything changed. That experience didn’t just raise my score—it reshaped my confidence and career trajectory. Now, I aim to be that turning point for others. I coach because I believe no one should go through this process alone, and because I’ve seen how much stronger students can be with the right support. Helping someone unlock their potential and walk into the LSAT feeling calm, focused, and empowered is what drives me every day. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a student go from uncertain to unstoppable—and knowing you helped them get there.
