For the last few weeks, I have been advertising here for a new tutoring program that I am trying to get started. I am looking for a very small group of students who are interested in participating in this program. We are about to get started, but there is room for a couple more participants.

The main idea of the program is to make LSAT tutoring more affordable and more efficient by combining group meetings with individual meetings. The content is the same as what I teach to my individual tutoring clients who pay me over 4 times this price and have seen scores into the upper 170s!

See my profile over on Wyzant (look for Lars E.) to see my many 5-star reviews!

If this sounds like it might be for you, please read over the information below carefully, and if you are interested in participating, just send me a message, comment below, or email me (contact@larsenden.com).

This is how the program will work:

·      Everything will be done online. We will use Google Classroom to manage communication and scheduling, and we will use Google Meets for all meetings.

·      There will be 2 group meetings every week, and will occur on Tuesdays and Thursdays 1-2:30 Eastern Time / 10-11:30 Pacific Time (see the schedule below). The typical structure of these meetings is that I will present the topic/skill for the day, and we will work through examples together. It will always be a safe space for asking questions!

·      Homework will be assigned after each meeting to help reinforce concepts and to give you more practice on your own.

·      You will also get one hour of one-on-one tutoring each week, which will be scheduled independently to fit into your personal schedule. These will be tailored to your specific needs and may involve more homework.

·      If you would like additional one-on-one tutoring, it is available for all participants in this program (both during and after the term ends) for $75 per hour, which is less than half of my usual rate.

This is what I will expect from you:

·      Payment of $160 per week payable through Venmo or Paypal before the first group meeting on Tuesday each week. This comes to $40 per hour: 3 hours of group meetings and 1 hour of one-on-one tutoring per week.

·      Attend all group meetings. If you must miss a group meeting, and you want to meet one-on-one to make up for it, there will be an additional charge of $75 per hour for this meeting.

·      Do all homework assignments before the next group meeting. We all need to keep on the same pace!

Here is the schedule:

The program will begin on June 30th and end on August 13th. The schedule for the group meetings is listed below. I don’t expect you to understand what everything on the schedule means right now, but this will give you some idea of how we will proceed. There is a “Vacation Week” in the schedule because that is when I will be on vacation. So, there will be no meetings for that week. Each meeting is designed to build on the previous ones. After the six weeks, you should have all the techniques you need for LR; from there, it is just a matter of improving your skills through practice, practice, practice!

Hello LSAT Travelers!

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 am an LSAT tutor, and I have been doing this full-time for over 3 years.

The purpose of this group, is to offer a space where you can ask a professional logic professor (that's me!) anything you want. So, come to a session with a topic or a question that you want to discuss. It can be anything LSAT related (even RC, which is mostly logic anyway!) and I will do my best to help you with it. For Free!

The group will meet every Wednesday 2 - 3:30 pm Eastern / 11 am - 12:30 pm Pacific. I hope to see you then!

And, of course, if you are looking for a tutor, check out my post in the tutoring marketplace!

Hello LSAT Travelers!

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 group instruction with one-on-one individual tutoring at a more affordable price.

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 as a group 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

-Targeted 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 $75 per hour (more than half my usual rate)

If you are interested in being a part of this pilot program, please send me a message, comment below, or send me an email to contact@larsenden.com
