Hi! My name is El. I'm a 175 scorer, and I've helped 10 previous students raise their scores by an average of 7 points. If you're currently scoring around the 150s or below, I'd like to work with you.

In my experience, those who score in that range aren't struggling with specific question types - they're struggling with the test as a whole. I have some ideas that I'd like to explore surrounding a mental reframing of the test on a high level, with the goal of making your independent study time and future tutoring more effective by building a solid foundation. If you feel like taking the test is like stumbling through thick fog, I'd like to see if I can show you a different approach.

This will be a non-traditional tutoring program with three main components: unstructured conversation (talking broadly about the test as a whole, what it expects of you, what it's selecting for, why law school admissions rely on it), verbalized reasoning (watching a 175 scorer (me) go through a series of questions and explain their approach and reasoning in real time, to better understand what the mindset of a high scorer actually looks like in practice), and live analysis (I watch you do the same thing, and then give comprehensive notes on where I see you second-guessing, wasting time, or making key mistakes). By doing this, we'll develop stronger, more intuitive answers to the basic difficulties of the LSAT: What does a strong prephrase look like? What's a good reason to eliminate an answer, and what's a bad one? When should you feel confident when moving on, and when should you flag? How should you manage pace vs. accuracy? A high scorer usually develops their instincts through trial and error and lots of drilling - I believe that a targeted course can expedite this process.

I am looking for someone who is willing to commit to roughly 4 hours (2 classes) a week over the course of a month, in addition to some time spent after each class talking about what worked and what didn't. I may also assign homework, depending on our conversations and your progress.

I normally charge $3040 for 8 classes, at a rate of $380/class. For this program, I'm taking on a small first cohort at $200/class ($1600 total) while I build this out. If you're interested, please reach out via DMs, or book a free consultation through my site where we can talk specifics, try out a few practice problems, and see if we'd be a good fit.

Hi! I'm El. I believe that the LSAT is a unique test - it genuinely rewards the kind of clear, precise thought that makes good lawyers, rather than making you memorize things you'll never use again. I'm taking on two or three new students who are looking to get better at the kind of thinking the LSAT wants you to do. If you're looking to train your ability to break down arguments, discuss structure, and point out flaws - rather than just learning question types - I'd like to work with you.

I've worked with a wide range of students, from those in the 130s who need help with establishing fundamentals to those in the 170s who are aiming at complete mastery (ask me about my testimonials!). I'm great at explaining confusing questions, providing foundational strategies, and helping you understand what it would take for you to become better at the LSAT.

A little about me: I went from a 173 cold diagnostic to a 175 on the official test (with several 180s on practice tests!). I studied writing and philosophy in college, and have taught for classes, friends, and as a volunteer. My tutoring is an extension of that: I enjoy explaining things and helping people think more clearly, and the LSAT happens to be a place where that sort of thing is rewarded.

A little about the tutoring: I've tried a lot of things, and the format that I've found most consistently delivers results is taking notes while you work through a full section of a real test, where you verbalize your reasoning on every question. Then, we go over the section in detail: focusing on specific questions where easily fixable mistakes tripped you up, as well as problematic test-wide trends. Doing this lets us catch the mistakes you're actually making, as well as places where shaky foundations could cost you points. I track your pace, precision, and stamina, and offer strategies to improve each. My rate is $200/hour, and I offer package discounts: $190/hour for 20 hours and $180/hour for 40 hours.

Most of my students take two hour sessions, one to three times a week. I offer free consultations: a 20-30 minute call where we talk specifics, ask each other questions, and maybe work through a practice problem or two. Don't hesitate to send me a DM - I'd love to chat and see if we'd be a good fit.
