LEVEL Intermediate

Sufficient and necessary conditions are some of the most common logical elements encountered in logical reasoning. Easily confused with each other and often unintuitive, they can make for some truly hard SA and NA questions! This class will cover the concepts and strategies that are essential for effectively navigating both question types.

Meet Henry

Henry has a BA and an MA in philosophy from Tulane University.  Over multiple years of tutoring, Henry has tutored individual students and taught group classes, resulting in multiple 180 scores.  

Henry’s philosophy is that, while hard, the LSAT is fundamentally simple.  Henry prefers to use analogies to illustrate that even the toughest LSAT questions can be made straightforward.  Henry likes helping students work through conditional reasoning, necessary assumption negation, and most strongly supported questions.  

Outside of tutoring, Henry enjoys running, swimming, and reading science fiction.
