Excited to finally make this tutoring post now that I'm done with the LSAT!
I just scored 175 on October after scoring 170 three times (see this post here: https://7sage.com/discussion/63686/this-is-your-sign-to-never-give-up-and-never-settle?notification_id=ntf_034oAjdzoLWm1GwXNQdOke)
I had been PTing 175+ before the previous two attempts which made seeing no progress extra disappointing. I studied for the LSAT while working full-time on my first attempt and while working full time and tutoring part time the last three attempts. I've tutored for almost 2 years now, first at another large tutoring company and solo for the last year or so. Not seeing my knowledge translate into results made me feel like a fraud but I knew I was capable of that 175+ and it was just a matter of putting all the pieces together come test day.
Being stuck at 170 forced me to start from scratch and systemize everything for myself. I drove myself a little crazy breaking everything down into steps and checklists to ensure repeatable performance. That thankfully paid off for me and has only boosted what I've been able to provide to my one-on-one clients. I also have some real experience in fighting that mental side of this test and knowing how to frame studying and schedule when the results haven't shown up on official scores yet. This probably came from my background in sports my whole life and baseball specifically. I love helping students with the mental side of performance improvement just as much as the tactical skills side.
I think about the LSAT in terms of bottlenecks. I love coming prepared into one-on-one sessions explaining exactly to my student what the lowest hanging fruit for them to improve is, so there's something actionable that can directly result in a tiny increase. Tiny increases quickly add up to goal scores!
