Wanted to make a post to recommendSteven for anyone seeking LSAT tutoring, particularly students looking to break through plateaus.

I started working with Steven in October 2024 and scored a 172 on the February exam. Steven was integral to my prep process and I truly could not have done this without him!

My biggest struggle was test-day strategy. I was already PTing consistently in the mid-170s when I reached out to Steven, but I could NOT translate that to the actual exam. Steven examined my PT results and wrong answers and identified that I had a pattern of making significant strategic mistakes under the pressure of the real thing, which was costing me questions I should have been answering confidently. He helped me develop a systematic, concrete approach to the question types I struggled with most. He would also watch me take timed sections and recap exactly where I made good and bad strategic decisions. On exam day, I simply replicated what we had practiced and enforced good strategy — even though I was still extremely nervous.

Perhaps most importantly, Steven helped me with the mental side of prep. He genuinely cared about my success and spent a lot of time talking me down when I got in my head. He was always kind and patient, listened to my concerns, and worked with me to find solutions. I can't recommend him enough!
