Hello LSAT travellers!
My name is Dr. Lars Enden. I used to be a professor of philosophy and logic. I did that for about 20 years. But now, I have taken all my experience as a professional educator in logic and critical thinking and applied it to the LSAT. LSAT tutoring is all that I do now, and I have been doing it full-time for over 3 years.
If you would like to see my many 5-star reviews from former students, check out my profile over on Wyzant (look up Lars E.).
There are 2 problems that I see with LSAT tutoring. The first problem is that it is expensive for students; the second problem is that it is repetitive for tutors; I find myself teaching the same skills to practically every student that I tutor.
I propose to solve both of these problems by introducing a hybrid style of tutoring, which will combine some classroom-style instruction with one-on-one individual tutoring at a more affordable price.
Therefore, I am launching a pilot program that will use this hybrid model to cover the logical reasoning portion of the LSAT (I hope to develop a similar program for Reading Comprehension in the future). It will be a 6-week program that will meet classroom-style twice a week for 1.5 hours each, and that will meet individually with each student for one-on-one tutoring 1-hour per week. This will mean that each student gets 24 hours of total time divided into 18 hours of classroom-style instruction (with the whole group) and 6 hours of one-on-one tutoring. I want to try this method with a relatively small cohort (6-8 students) priced at $960 per student, which comes to $40 per hour. I expect that if this program is successful, that I will end up charging at least 3 times more than this in the future, which is still far below my usual rates for regular one-on-one tutoring.
What to expect from this program:
-24 hours of total time: 18 hours of small-group time and 6 hours of individual tutoring time.
-Current cost will be $960, which breaks down to $40 per hour [This is far, far lower than my usual rate because this is a new and somewhat experimental program]
-Classes are designed to cover all the important logical skills needed for LR success [these are the same skills that I have been teaching my individual tutoring students for years]
-Individual tutoring time will be more focused on the specific problems each student is facing with improving their LR skills
-Targetted homework will be assigned after each class to help reinforce the concepts and to give students more practice [This is the same homework that I have been giving to my individual tutoring students for years]
-For students in this cohort, I will also offer additional tutoring, if desired, both during and after the class ends at $95 per hour (less than half my usual rate)
If you are interested in being a part of this pilot program, please send me a DM, comment below, or send me an email at contact@larsenden.com
