Taking a few moments to 'pre-phrase' a potential ideal answer choice between reading the stimulus and the ACs is a powerful LR technique. If you spot a missing bridge between the premises and conclusion before getting mired in the answer choices, there's a good chance you'll be able to pinpoint the correct answer in a fraction of the time it would otherwise have taken! This class provides a primer on what to look for when pre-phrasing, and how to capitalize on a solid pre-phrase.

Ryan has a degree in geology and psychology from Texas State University, graduating from the honors college. He has taught the LSAT for 8 years, helping innumerable students get into T14 law schools. 

His tutoring philosophy is to begin by helping students learn the question types in logical reasoning; he believe students should be able to explain, in their own words, what the questions are ultimately asking and how to approach the text in those questions. He has students write their own notes, based on the 7sage core curriculum, making their own “instruction manual” for each question type. He loves to see students improve their understanding of our language, and he loves to see students accomplish their goals and achieve their dreams. 

In his free time, Ryan likes to read, write fiction, and swim laps at the local spring fed pool.
