The LSAT is 80% about your tactical approach to the test -- which is why I specialize in strategy + psychology, with experience getting students from the 160s to official LSAT scores in the 170s in as little as one month of tutoring. I took myself from a 158 to a 172, I have five years of experience in teaching/tutoring at all levels, and I am a professional editor (so I can help with application materials as well!) I currently charge $50/hour session, but I offer discounted package rates.

I also offer an introductory call for 30 minutes (which you can organize 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 creating our own drills and documents to better organize your approach to the LSAT. I like to base my classes around 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 a difficult Science-based RC passage in real time 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 for my services, or even offer free access to my recorded material.
