Hi everyone,
I am looking for a tutor to help me prepare for the January LSAT.
My Stats & Goals: I just scored a 145 on the October LSAT, and my goal is a 165. However, my Blind Review and untimed PT scores consistently sit in the 158–165 range.
My Roadblock: I have a very strong grasp of foundational logic and theory. My 15-to-20 point gap is entirely behavioral and stems from time pressure. When the clock is running, my process breaks down. Specifically:
Sunk-Cost Ego Battles: I struggle to skip heavy Level 4/5 time-sinks (like Parallel Reasoning or dense RC Analogies). I end up spending 3+ minutes on single questions, which starves me of time for the easy points.
Abandoning Pre-phrasing: Under pressure, I drop my habit of covering the answers and translating the gap, allowing the LSAT to bait me with familiar trap words.
RC Panic-Skimming: When I feel rushed, I abandon my structural summaries and start trying to memorize facts rather than tracking the author's attitude/debate.
Answer Choices: Breaking the habit of picking what "sounds right," and instead ruthlessly eliminating the 4 wrong answers for objective fatal flaws.
What I Need: I have a strong grasp of foundational logic and theory. My 15-to-20 point gap is entirely behavioral. Under time pressure, I revert to bad habits and panic-reading. I am looking for a tutor to help me fundamentally rewire how I think about and interact with the test.
I am not looking for someone to teach me basic conditional logic from scratch. I need a coach who can watch me take timed sections, hold me strictly accountable to my time caps, and help me solidify this new test-taker mindset.
If your tutoring style focuses on execution, behavioral coaching, and clock management, I would love to hear from you! Please reach out with your rates and availability.
I am interested in tutoring!
