LSAT Tutors, Events, and Resources

Welcome to my profile! As the founder of LSAT Coach, I have developed a comprehensive LSAT prep program that has helped over 100 students achieve their highest potential. With a background in Psychology and Asian & Middle Eastern Studies from Duke University, I bring a unique perspective to logical reasoning and reading comprehension, key components of the LSAT. My experience in educational innovation and strategic partnerships, including roles at Silicon Valley Bank and Arizona State University, equips me with the skills to tailor personalized learning experiences. Whether you're just starting your LSAT journey or looking to refine your strategies, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. Let's connect and create a plan to reach your target score!

I'm a 99th-percentile LSAT scorer with a year of experience coaching students to reach their target scores on official LSAT administrations. On average, my students improve about 10 points from when we start working together to when they take the real test. My coaching philosophy is best described as “slow and steady wins the race”: I emphasize deep understanding, consistent practice, and long-term mastery over shortcuts and short-lived gains. If you want to go from feeling like the LSAT is the worst thing on Earth to feeling like it finally makes sense, I’m the coach for you.

Welcome to my profile! With over 20 years of experience as an LSAT trainer, I have developed a uniquely effective curriculum encapsulated in my original 16-page LSAT Training Manual. This manual provides step-by-step methodologies and strategies not found anywhere else, revealing the true code behind the LSAT. My approach not only focuses on mastering every question type but also on cultivating the right mindset to tackle this "beautiful beast" of a test. I take immense pride in my work, and my clients have collectively received over $1 million in tuition scholarship money. If you're ready to unlock your potential and achieve your LSAT goals, let's connect and make it happen!

Between the actual exams, tryout exams for jobs, and personal diagnostic exams, I have never scored below 99th-percentile on the LSAT, GMAT, nor GRE. I started in the industry in 2002 with Kaplan, and founded my own company in 2005. I was one of Veritas's (acquired by Varsity Tutors as their elite program) first instructors and a go-to instructor for most of their existence, teaching literally coast-to-coast until moving off of their grid in 2017. Career highlights include successfully writing and then teaching my own LSAT course, teaching over a dozen GMAT classes at Booth School of Business at University of Chicago, and tutoring around Silicon Valley at locations such as the Google campus, Stanford, and the San Francisco Financial District. In short, I've taught and tutored thousands of students within the elite model used by Veritas, Manhattan, and others, in which the highest-scoring instructors teach in small classrooms and focus on higher-end analytic aspects of the exam. I wrote my own LSAT course, and I contributed to the highly-regarded Veritas course and books. My students have gone on to attend the best law and business schools in the world. Most important, I love teaching and Leland gives me the opportunity to fill my schedule helping students like you!

If you count yourself among the overwhelming number of LSAT students frustrated with their progress and find yourself believing this test is beyond your capabilities, you are exactly who I love working with the most. Two themes define my approach to tutoring students: personalization & dedication. Working together as a team, we will pinpoint exactly what skills we need to refine and be relentless in finding a way that works best for you. With a strong background in tutoring and undergraduate admissions consulting, I have been helping students excel in standardized tests since 2020. As a 99th percentile scorer on multiple graduate examinations, including the LSAT and GRE, I specialize in building structured thinking processes for Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension—turning confusion into clarity through systematic frameworks you can apply to every question. My approach centers on identifying the specific reasoning errors holding you back, then developing targeted solutions you can immediately put into practice. I have successfully guided 30+ clients through the LSAT preparation process, helping them achieve their target scores. I am particularly proud of my results working with students who find themselves hitting a plateau in their practice test scores and need a diagnostic approach to break through. Whether you're just starting your LSAT journey or looking to refine your skills, I'm here to provide personalized support and guidance. Feel free to reach out, and we can create a tailored plan to help you succeed!

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. To date, I have obtained 5,000+ hours LSAT / LNAT teaching and tutoring experience, making me one of the most qualified LSAT / LNAT Tutors in the graduate test prep industry.

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 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.

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.

Over the course of 5 years teaching the LSAT, I have honed my ability to break down seemingly complex LSAT concepts into easily digestible components. As someone who did not score particularly high on my first diagnostic, I know how daunting improvement can seem especially when initial improvement is followed by a scoring plateau. Likewise, I have seen and heard firsthand how certain instructors fail to connect with their students when mastery of the LSAT came so naturally to the instructor. Accordingly, I tailor my approach to each student's individual learning style yet still emphasize the same core concepts––understanding argument structure, causal reasoning, conditional reasoning, and the ability to make inferences––which must be mastered in order to achieve improvement.
