Hi there,

My name is Carl, and I've been tutoring the LSAT since the early 2000s, online and in person. These days I mostly work online over Zoom.

I would never tell someone that it's impossible to self-study for the test or that a tutor is absolutely required, by any means. I would say, however, that having the right guidance at the right moment in your studies can both save you a lot of frustration and streamline the process of improving your score.

Here are some of the ways I've worked with students:

Plateau Busting - I specialize in helping people move the needle who've been stuck on a plateau for a long time. There are natural points where people get stuck (high 150s, mid 160s, etc.), and I've developed methods for helping people push past those sticking points.

Ground-Floor Up Rebuilds - Sometimes, the problem is you've never really established the baseline skill set. You've poked around, started and stopped, and your core skills never full gelled. I can help you rebuild the necessary foundation to set yourself up for success.

Troubleshooting - Sometimes all you need is someone to help when you hit a sticking point. You're doing great overall, but a specific question type is killing you. It can even be a specific few questions. I excel at having fruitful, thoughtful discussions of some of the finer points of the test.

Extreme Score Goals - There aren't a lot of tutors who can help you move a 173 to a 176. I have been able to do that for students. It's a very specialized skill set, working with those already in or near the 99th percentile, as once you're in that upper score range, you're just not making any easy mistakes any more.

Tutoring of Last Resort - I've had some clients come to me who've tried everything else. Some of them have literally done every single question available at least once. If nothing else has worked, I might be able to help.

I offer a free one-hour evaluation session to all potential clients. It's an hour for us to meet, discuss your troubles, have me demonstrate my tutoring style, and have you ask any questions you have. So, please, reach out if you'd like to schedule an evaluation with me to see if I can help you.

The easiest way to reach out is to use the scheduler at my website: https://www.ivorytowertutoring.com/schedule/ . You can also shoot me a DM here or respond to this post.
