Hi! I'm El. I believe that the LSAT is a unique test - it genuinely rewards the kind of clear, precise thought that makes good lawyers, rather than making you memorize things you'll never use again. I'm taking on two or three new students who are looking to get better at the kind of thinking the LSAT wants you to do. If you're looking to train your ability to break down arguments, discuss structure, and point out flaws - rather than just learning question types - I'd like to work with you.

I've worked with a wide range of students, from those in the 130s who need help with establishing fundamentals to those in the 170s who are aiming at complete mastery (ask me about my testimonials!). I'm great at explaining confusing questions, providing foundational strategies, and helping you understand what it would take for you to become better at the LSAT.

A little about me: I went from a 173 cold diagnostic to a 175 on the official test (with several 180s on practice tests!). I studied writing and philosophy in college, and have taught for classes, friends, and as a volunteer. My tutoring is an extension of that: I enjoy explaining things and helping people think more clearly, and the LSAT happens to be a place where that sort of thing is rewarded.

A little about the tutoring: I've tried a lot of things, and the format that I've found most consistently delivers results is taking notes while you work through a full section of a real test, where you verbalize your reasoning on every question. Then, we go over the section in detail: focusing on specific questions where easily fixable mistakes tripped you up, as well as problematic test-wide trends. Doing this lets us catch the mistakes you're actually making, as well as places where shaky foundations could cost you points. I track your pace, precision, and stamina, and offer strategies to improve each. My rate is $120/hour, and I offer package discounts: $110/hour for 20 hours and $100/hour for 40 hours.

Most of my students take two hour sessions, one to three times a week. I offer free consultations: a 20-30 minute call where we talk specifics, ask each other questions, and maybe work through a practice problem or two. Don't hesitate to send me a DM - I'd love to chat and see if we'd be a good fit.
