LSAT Prep

I began my LSAT career at Kaplan 45 years ago, where I was hired by founder Stanley Kaplan and went on to serve as a Director of the LSAT program. Over the course of my career, I have taught more than 10,000 students. I have personally achieved multiple perfect 180 LSAT scores. Today, I work privately with students, providing highly personalized LSAT tutoring focused on identifying exactly where you’re losing points and improving your score as efficiently as possible. My approach is built on decades of experience analyzing the LSAT—what it measures, where students struggle, and how to consistently improve performance.

If I can improve my LSAT score, so can you. I arrived late to the LSAT game. In June of 2024, I decided to apply for law school but I had never touched an LSAT question. My official November score was 179 (99.8 percentile). The LSAT is not an impossible exam. The test is unique and has its own rules. But once you learn the rules it becomes much easier to play, and win.

I am a devoted professional LSAT tutor and Michigan Law graduate with years of experience preparing applicants for the exam. I have tutored over 100 students at various stages of the LSAT, from first-time test-takers to seasoned students. I currently partner with two elite LSAT tutoring companies and conduct regular trainings for new tutors looking to improve their skills. I have worked with a wide variety of students, including students who went on to score in the 175+ range, ESL students, students with ADHD, T-14 hopefuls, older students, student-parents, and beyond. I also provide holistic application support throughout the process and am happy to review/edit application materials, talk admissions strategy, and help you reach your unique goals according to your individual circumstances. With access to over 90 Official PrepTests, Kaplan flashcards, the PowerScore series, 7Sage, study guides, and the highest quality virtual teaching tools, my sessions begin targeting your unique learning styles and expand from there.

I'm a graduating senior at Emory University, double majoring in Political Science and Philosophy, Politics & Law with a 3.98 GPA. I scored a 171 on the LSAT, placing me in the top few percent of test takers, and was admitted to Harvard Law School through its Junior Deferral Program, which admits a small number of college juniors each year. I have recently and successfully gone through every stage of the process my students are facing, and I bring that firsthand perspective to each session. For the past six months I have tutored the LSAT one-on-one, working online with college students and working professionals preparing for law school. Every student begins with a diagnostic test, which I use to find patterns in their mistakes rather than just their score: whether they are misreading question stems, falling for particular trap answers in Logical Reasoning, or losing the structure of dense Reading Comprehension passages. From there I build a study plan around each student's timeline and target score, teach the reasoning behind each question type, and review timed sections together so students learn to catch and correct their own errors. My goal is for students to understand why the right answer is right, so their improvement holds up on test day. I also help students with law school admissions, including personal statements, "why law" and diversity essays, resumes, addenda, and building a balanced school list. Having written a successful application to Harvard Law as a junior, I help students find the story only they can tell and present it with clarity and honesty. I am patient, direct, and invested in each student's goals, and I am happy to start with a short conversation about where you are now and where you want to be.

I've been teaching and tutoring the LSAT since 2009, full-time since 2016, with over 12,000 hours' experience. I have taught large and small group classes, done individual and small group tutoring, hosted in-person and online seminars, and answered thousands of questions about the LSAT in various public and private forums. I've helped students at every level get to a higher level, from those coming to the test with no experience and very low diagnostic scores, all the way to those who have been studying and practicing for months or years and who are trying to improve from the low 170s, and everything in between. I'll help you diagnose your weaknesses and develop more successful habits and strategies, including how to be more efficient with your time.

Although many people think otherwise, the LSAT is not an intelligence test. Your path to success is about recognizing its secrets and tricks and avoiding them, and I am here to help guide you all the way. I have helped hundreds of students through my emphasis on fundamentals, critical reading, and question identification. Taking the best lessons from the LSAT Trainer, the PowerScore Bibles, and other materials, I teach my students how to understand what they're being asked at a deep level, and to dispatch the most difficult questions methodically and with confidence, in a way that minimizes self-doubt and maximizes speed and accuracy. And I try to tutor the LSAT in a relatable, lighthearted way that hopefully makes it less painful and more rewarding. Through my tailored method, I have helped LSAT takers improve by more than 20 points and get into the law schools of their dreams. In addition to LSAT tutoring, I also help with application questions and essays (I am a consultant with 7Sage and Forester Thomas). Many of my LSAT pupils have shown improvements of 10+ points in their scores after only a few sessions, and have been admitted to Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, NYU, UCLA, Fordham, Cornell, Georgetown, Penn, Chicago and other top law schools. I'm happy to do a free, introductory call to explain my LSAT teaching method and allow you to evaluate whether you think we'd be a good fit. Investing in an LSAT tutor can not only get you into the school of your dreams, it can pay out ten-fold or more, with increases of only 2-4 points translating to five-figure scholarships. Feel free to reach out, know that you can master the LSAT with the right direction, and good luck to you no matter what!

Welcome to my profile! As a recent graduate from the University of Michigan and a current Software Engineer at Google, I bring a unique analytical perspective to LSAT preparation. I've successfully coached 5 individuals, helping them improve their scores and gain admission to their desired law schools. My approach focuses on breaking down complex logical reasoning and analytical thinking skills, essential for excelling on the LSAT. Let's work together to create a personalized study plan that targets your strengths and addresses your weaknesses. Reach out to start your journey towards achieving your target LSAT score!

I scored a 180 on my first official LSAT by learning to see the patterns behind the questions so that the test feels predictable rather than confusing. My experience with the LSAT taught me that improvement comes from identifying the specific patterns that were costing me points and fixing them directly. I bring that same approach into coaching. I specialize in working with students who feel plateaued, when more practice isn't translating into consistently higher scores. In our sessions, I'll help you pinpoint exactly what's causing your mistakes and build a personalized study plan to address those issues head-on, so you can approach the test with greater consistency and confidence.
