'Alternative Style' Tutoring ($50/hour, 172 score) [Future Georgetown Student]

AlexandraWiseOwl · 2025-11-26T14:44:46Z

Get yourself from the 160s to the 170s ASAP. First, the cold details: I went from a 158->172 in a few months, I have five years of experience in teaching/tutoring at all levels, I am a professional editor (so I can help with application materials as well), and I charge $50/hour session. My most recent success was bringing a student from a 161 PT score to a 171 on test day in just over a month of lessons with me! I also offer an introductory call for 30 minutes (which you can reserve here: https://doodle.com/bp/alexandravanzutphen/introductory-session ) so that you can see if your style matches mine, and I NEVER 'hard-cut' my lessons at 60 minutes, leaving time for any leftover material that needs covering. My main motto is 'What, like it's hard?' Because when you crack the LSAT, it really feels like it was much easier than you initially thought it would be. While I have a lot of respect for tutors that have poured countless hours into the test, I believe my unique approach to tutoring can offer something different for those people struggling with high costs and set curriculums. What do I do differently? Well, first of all, I've recorded videos and have written detailed documents covering ALL the basics, summarizing all the knowledge that I gained from prep-books and early drilling. I also have videos on a wide range of other topics, from test-day psychology to tips on how to improve reading speed/retention. In our actual lessons, I let the student dictate the content of our session -- whether that's reviewing questions, doing a section together, or even looking over personal statements and additional essays. I like to change my approach based on what the student NEEDS, and so the types of lessons I conduct vary from person to person. For example, my last lesson involved going over conditional logic flashcards with my student. Most importantly, I genuinely LOVE teaching and seeing improvement in my students -- I used to do this for free, for this very reason, but I needed to gain back some compensation for my time. If you are, however, struggling financially, I'd be happy to negotiate a lower rate over a package deal for my services, or even offer free access to my recorded material.
