LSAT Prep

I help students increase their LSAT scores by turning the test into a clear, learnable process. My coaching focuses on diagnosing exactly why students are missing questions, building repeatable strategies for each section, improving timing, and creating a study plan that is targeted rather than overwhelming.

I believe that doing well on the LSAT is simple. It is just a matter of consistency, with a study system that targets your weaknesses until you have none left. I am the President of the Pre-Law club at my university, and have helped many students formulate their own simple study plan that if followed, guarantees success. Let me help you nail down your simple study plan, and then send you on your way to success in law school and beyond.

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 have been successfully providing elite LSAT and LNAT tutoring services to students worldwide for 20+ years now. During this timeframe, I have personally tutored 100+ law school candidates in preparing successfully for their law school entrance exams, exceeding their target LSAT / LNAT scores, and ultimately gaining admission to a host of top law school programs worldwide. In addition, I have professionally taught more than 250 LSAT students (in a classroom setting) over a 10-year teaching period.

I scored a 175 on the LSAT, and my intuitive, common-sense approach has been helping students get top scores since 2012. I emphasize comprehension rather than memorization: Instead of just giving you rules and procedures to remember, I help you figure out why they make sense. My LSAT expertise is largely informed by my mathematical background (I have an MSc in math), but I am able to adjust my explanations to any learning style and academic background. Although I tend to focus on logical fundamentals, I can also give you plenty of guidance in more practical test-taking aspects: how to interpret key words in answer choices, how to diagram efficiently, etc. I know my methods work, and I'm sure they can work for you.

I've assisted students in preparing for their LSAT and craft the credentials necessary to award them 1L spots at Harvard, Stanford, Georgetown, NYU, USC and many more top programs; additionally, I'm proud to state that other students of mine have won scholarships to attend schools such as the University of Houston, Penn State, Emory, U of Arizona and others. So why miss out on your chance to do the same?? Coaching the LSAT requires mastery of the question types and test-taking strategy as well as some deep recognition of just what a potential law student goes through during the application period. And, as the son of a successful lawyer, I was forced from a young age to defend my beliefs and my actions through a focus on clear, concise communication, truly the bread and butter of the LSAT. I've now put off my own law career in order to more properly serve like-minded people in realizing their own dreams of attending a top law school.
