Independent TutorFundamentals of Logical Reasoning Tutoring — Few more spots left at $18/hour
Hello! My name is Mickey and I started tutoring recently with the goal of 1) making tutoring more accessible, especially for fee-waiver applicants, and 2) teaching the fundamentals of logical reasoning to help students who are passionate about becoming lawyers but for whom logical reasoning might not come easily to. My interest in doing this was borne out of helping my brother and a friend of mine, both of whom the second bullet point applies to, combined with the fact that I really enjoy the logical reasoning problems on the LSAT, and I also really enjoying 1-on-1 teaching. Finding enjoyment in studying for this test is the reason I am applying to law school, and I want to share my approach to these problems with you!
Most of my sessions with current students involve walking through sets of problems where I listen to my student's approach and then share mine, emphasizing any takeaways that the student can apply to similar situations in the future. Often, we go in-depth on only a handful of problems throughout a session, focusing on accuracy and critical analysis instead of speed.
The tutoring I am offering is for students whose goal is to score in the 160s and are currently testing anywhere below that. If your goal is to score higher, I may also be able to be of help as long as you are currently below the 160 range. I believe that mastering the fundamentals of LR makes this goal very, very doable, no matter your starting point. While this service is intended to be for students who can't afford more expensive tutoring, anyone is welcome to reach out! I offer a free consultation and two free sessions to see if we are a good fit. I have 4 more spots left at $18/hour (first come first serve), and after those are filled I will charge $25/hour.

I’ve had three sessions with Mickey so far (consultation + two free sessions) and I can say the value you’re getting his knowledge for is fantastic.
I'M interested!
Hi! What does a tutoring session with you look like? Are we bringing in questions we missed and going over them together or is it more of a class style?
@crorosco02956 Apologies for not getting to this comment sooner; I tend to ask students how they've preferred to get tutored in the past and base it on that, but with most students I suggest a dynamic where they tell me areas of recent issues before a session and then I will hand pick 5-10 questions that I think are representative of said issues to work through with them. We then go through each problem very slowly where I hear their take on the stimulus and then I offer mine, and we repeat that for each answer choice, emphasizing takeaways that can be applied to future problems. I don't think it's good to move on from a concept or argument until it's fully understood, so for that reason sometimes we get through as little as one or two questions throughout the hour.
How do I just in for the $18 spot?
