Principle

A variant of most strongly supported and pseudo-sufficient assumption (find the rule) questions, principle questions ask us to identify a statement that underlies or coheres with the argument presented in the stimulus. Learn to effectively differentiate between irrelevant or contradictory options and the close matches this question subtype demands!

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.
