Hi everyone,

CURRENTLY AT CAPACITY!! Already had some people reach out, I will edit this if I can handle any more.

I am PTing in the 170s with my official February score being 168. I am looking to help tutor someone PTing in the 150s for free leading up to the April exam, to boost my understanding as well as yours, as suggested by J.Y. here: https://7sage.com/discussion/56833/looking-for-tutor-to-push-from-high-160s-to-170s

We could walk through practice tests or drill sets and discuss wrong answers and thought process. I am available evenings and weekends. If this sounds like you, please leave a comment or a message!

I just received my official score for February’s exam, 168. I am consistently PTing in the low 170s with my highest PT at 176. Looking for a tutor who can help with RC, and give me that final boost with LR.

I am around -1/-3 in LR, and -4/-6 in RC, struggling mainly with dense 4 to 5 star passages.

If this sounds like something you can help with, please message me. I would hope to meet 1-2 times a week until the April exam, with best times being week day evenings or any time on weekends.

Hi 7sage!

I scored a 172 on the November 2025 LSAT and am looking to take on a few more students. My background is in Philosophy, with experience tutoring college students, kids, ESL learners, and now (for around 4 months) the LSAT.

What I offer: 

• As an independent 7sage tutor, I can access your analytics and offer focus drilling sets, as well as analysis and targeted tips.

• Accessible feedback—I am available via email for any LSAT questions my students may have.

• I can break down any official LSAT material you bring to our sessions, as well as provide material from LSAC. We will focus on solving one question at a time together and reviewing your mistakes.

• Affordable rates ($46/hour, or free 15-minute consultation chat)

• Extremely flexible hours with time slots during weekdays, as well as the weekends.

• We won’t waste time on overly complex formal logic or unnecessary LSAT jargon. Instead, our focus will be on clear, practical strategies.

• All sessions will be 1 hour and conducted on Zoom. 

Who I’m best for:  

If you’re just starting out or working to move up from lower scores, I can help you build a strong foundation. I’m not the right fit if you’re already in the high 160s, aiming for the high 170s. I am currently working with ~4 students and looking to take on a few more! 

DM on 7sage me if interested, or email me at bettergiraffeLSAT@gmail.com

Hi there,

My name is Carl, and I've been tutoring the LSAT since the early 2000s, online and in person. These days I mostly work online over Zoom.

I would never tell someone that it's impossible to self-study for the test or that a tutor is absolutely required, by any means. I would say, however, that having the right guidance at the right moment in your studies can both save you a lot of frustration and streamline the process of improving your score. I can guide you from the beginning of your studies or step in as a troubleshooter when you hit a sticking point. I can take a look at the work you've done recently and try to diagnose what's holding you back and provide you with a recommendation of the best next steps to take in the short term and in the long term.

Two people scoring in the 170s might tackle the test in completely different ways. My job as a tutor is not to turn you into a carbon copy of me, but to help you find the combination of techniques and methods that will get you the score you want. Sure, there are certainly some required skills on the test--some questions are impossible, for example, if you don't know what a contrapositive is. But there's also a lot of leeway. There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and I tailor my lessons to you and your needs.

I specialize in helping people move the needle who've been stuck on a plateau for a long time. I also offer a free one-hour evaluation session to all potential clients, an hour for us to meet, discuss your troubles, have me demonstrate my tutoring style, and have you ask any questions you have. So, please, reach out if you'd like to schedule an evaluation with me to see if I can help you.

My Tutoring Page (with reviews, score proof, etc...)

Hi! I'm looking for a couple more student to tutor. My "style" is that I like to approach questions as simply as possible and really emphasize the concise language used in arguments. The test-writers love including "fluff" and choose to say things in roundabout ways to trick us. I'll show you how to simplify questions to their core. Knowing how to negate ACs ("negation test") and basic diagramming skills is all I need you to know how to do, the rest comes down to simplifying and understanding the flaw in arguments. I'll show you that these 4 tools are enough to tackle nearly any question on this test. I try to simplify arguments to their core until even an ESL students can understand and explain the flaw within them.

One thing I teach my students is to focus on the intentional specificity of language throughout arguments. Sometimes the question "Why would author choose to say it like that?" is surprisingly insightful. I've found that if your reasoning is just careful enough, you're able to simplify a difficult question into a series of simple questions. You'll realize within the first few sessions how invaluable the skill of "breaking down into simpler parts" can be on the LSAT. Additionally, I'll ensure you have a proper grasp of AC elimination cues to use the process of elimination effectively on test day.

Anyway, if you think my style might resonate with you, check out my tutoring page below for more details about my teaching! Oh, and I can connect you to any of my past students/reviewees to ask any lingering questions before you finalize anything.

Send me a message if you'd like a link to schedule a free consultation session to find an efficient path to score improvement. Thanks!

Hey there!

My name is Ryan, and I tutor the LSAT. I’ve worked as teacher for many years and spent a lot of time in the LSAT space recently. One thing has become clear to me is that a lot of capable people are excluded from this process simply because they don’t have access to the right support.

My approach to tutoring is simple. I try to make the test feel less overwhelming by stripping questions down to what actually matters. The LSAT is hard, but a surprising amount of difficulty comes from wording, structure, and traps... not from the underlying logic itself.

I know that no two students are the same so I am offering a free, 1 hour diagnostic consultation to see if we might be a good fit for each other.

Rate: $30/hour I’m flexible on pricing for students interested in meeting more than once a week.

UPDATE:

I'm so grateful to have received a lot of interest so if it's easier for anyone, I made a booking calendar for a diagnostic consultation. Feel free to book when you have time!

Hi everyone! :) I’m a first-generation professional student who studied for the LSAT while working full-time abroad, so I understand that every student’s circumstances, strengths, and goals are different. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all prep.

I began at a 150 diagnostic and worked my way to consistent 170+ scores on just about every official practice test [-0/-2 questions per section], and have secured multiple law school acceptances this cycle with large merit scholarships. With a 165 official score, it was a steep learning curve to navigate, but I now know firsthand what deliberate, strategic improvement requires, and I'm excited to help others navigate this journey.

Credentials:

• PTs: Consistent 170+ on just about every official practice test

• Experience: 1+ years of intense exam prep and working with students across score ranges

• Multiple school acceptances with large merit scholarships

My Approach:

• Personalized study plans tailored to your timeline and target score

• Clear, no-nonsense strategies for LR and RC

• Targeted drilling to eliminate weaknesses

• Structured review systems that create repeatable gains

• Holistic performance support: study design, stamina, mindset, and lifestyle habits

Rate: $55/hour

If you're serious about giving this process your all, let's get to work! :)

Hey Everyone! I have tutored finance/economics for over a year now and am looking to get into tutoring the LSAT. I did a diagnostic and got a 144. This test did not come intuitively to me but I poured the next 3 months into figuring out the exam in an extremely formulaic manner and was PT-ing in the mid 170s, wrote it and got a 173. (Only score).

If you are someone who does not get the exam intuitively and wants to approach it how I did, would love to help! Charging $35/hr!

Hi, I went from a 137 diagnostic to a 180 official score, and now I help others reach their LSAT goals.

Before I do any kind of sales pitch, I put together an in depth breakdown of what I genuinely think will help you improve. These are what I consider the non negotiables:

1. Start drilling immediately. Do not just do books or beginner classes where they just go over concepts, start doing real problems.

2. Predict answer choices in both LR and RC. A lot of people avoid predicting early on because they are not good at it yet, but long term it is one of the most important skills for real score growth.

3. Do 1 to 2 timed sections per week at least, and review them immediately.

4. Make time for one focused hour a day, and if you can, two hours. No phone, no FaceTiming your significant other, no football on in the background. You need to completely lock in for at least an hour a day.

5. Unless you are already scoring in the 170s, stop taking weekly full PTs. I did weekly PTs for months while I was scoring in the 150s and 160s, but the reality is it often becomes chasing a score rather than improving. You will get far more benefit from two timed sections with immediate review rather than a PT.

6. Use as many official attempts as you need. I scored 169, then 169 again, and then a 180. Do not cut yourself short. Keep taking the official test until you get a score that matches your PT range.

7. If you are in undergrad, prioritize your GPA. I have friends who studied like crazy for the LSAT, scored 170+, and then tanked their GPA in the process. Law schools care about both. You can retake the LSAT, but you cannot fix your GPA once it is damaged.

8. Slow down. If you are consistently finishing sections but not scoring in the 170s, you are missing easy points throughout the section. On my 180, I basically guessed on the last question in one section, but I made sure I was extremely confident on every question I attempted. Yes, sometimes you need to cut your losses, but do not go into questions expecting to do that.

9. Stop obsessing over accommodations. It seems like everyone gets them these days, but I did not. That said, if you qualify and have documentation, apply. A lot of people with ADHD or other legitimate issues feel guilty applying and do not. If you qualify, you should apply.

10. Stop making excuses. As a tutor, I constantly hear people say “I’m so busy” or “I had a long week.” I am not discounting what you are going through, but everybody has something. You are competing against other people who are also busy and also dealing with life. If you cannot lock in, you are wasting time.

Some side tips:

• Every wrong answer involves at least two mistakes: you chose the wrong answer, and you failed to choose the right answer. Diagnose both issues every time.

• Blind review only the questions you got wrong, not the entire section. The new 7Sage formatting makes this much easier than the old version.

• If you are just beginning do not read the question stem first, read the stimulus first. If you have been studying for a long time then it may be hard to switch from question stem to stimulus.

• Treat every LR stimulus like it was written by a politician you absolutely hate. Pick apart their argument. Most of the time it is a bad argument. If you are reading LR stimuli and thinking “that makes sense” more than 1 out of every 10 times, you probably are not being critical enough.

• Do not schedule the LSAT until you are ready. Do not put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Wait until your PTs are in the range you want, then sign up.

• Do not worry about “using up” problems. There are thousands of questions, and even if you go through all of them, you will forget most of what you did.

• Do not only drill hard problems. If you are starting out, easier problems are often better for long term improvement because they build fundamentals.

• Do not over study. Treat it like working out. If you were training for a marathon, you would not run 20 miles every day. Aim for 1 to 3 quality hours a day. Anything more than that is often just going through the motions.

• Lock in on RC. A lot of people study LR and barely touch RC because LR is more enjoyable. My recommendation is one RC passage a day. It is not a huge time commitment, and it keeps you consistent. Some days you should do more, but commit to at least one untimed passage daily.

My biggest piece of advice for everyone is this: believe in yourself. You can do this. I went from a 137 to a 180, and I am not some genius. There is a good chance you started off better than I did. If I can do it, anyone can.

This is a skills based test, not an IQ test. Once you truly understand that, the LSAT becomes much easier to improve on.

Now with all that said, I have worked with over 50 students, and a large chunk have broken into the 170s. I offer a very personalized approach to LSAT tutoring. Sessions are super interactive, and the goal is to get you set up so you approach every question with confidence.

Because I run my own company during the week, I have limited spots available at a time. I can work with people on price, but keep in mind that because my time is limited, I will prioritize higher rates if substantially different than another student.

Hey y'all, I'm Karl. I will be attending law school this year to focus on constitutional law, academia, and entrepreneurship.

I teach in-person LSAT classes at local universities and tutor students one-on-one. My focus is on teaching students to be at ease reading slowly, summarizing as they go, and engaging with the content. I diagnose weak points and give you plans to fix them. You will build good habits for approaching questions, getting "unstuck" when caught in a 50/50, and contextualizing your results to become more effective. The skills you learn will carry over into your law school journey and career as a lawyer.

The LSAT is only one part of the admissions process. I help with essays, C&F statements, addenda, interview preparation, school targeting, and more. I am here to help you get results that will change your life, not just go over questions for an hour. I want you to succeed, and that means being warm and supportive along the way.

Remember, underneath the LSAT's dense language there are simple structures you can learn, but you have to put in the effort. StevenBlauert's post is GREAT. Check it out. It really is that easy.

If you are interested, DM me, leave me a message here, or send me an email at Karl@RedwoodLSAT.com. We will arrange a free consultation!

Package discounts on LSAT tutoring and admissions assistance are available:

10 hours @ $700 ($70/hr)

20 hours @ $1200 ($60/hr)

Hey everyone! I’m Joshua. I started in the 130s and earned an official 173.

I’ve been tutoring for several years, and I’ve taught LSAT classes as well as at the university level. I have a real passion for teaching, and I love helping students get to that moment where the LSAT finally starts to click.

Over the years, I’ve helped students increase their scores by 10 - 30 points.

I scored 175 on the June 2025 LSAT, up from a diagnostic of 159. I have taken on eight tutoring clients since August, intentionally keeping a light load to hone my teaching style.

Now I'm looking for more students. Details:

• $60/hr.

• Meet on Zoom.

• Pay via Zelle or Venmo.

• Weekdays only.

What I offer:

• Analysis of up to three practice tests to identify areas of focus.

• Customized lesson plans targeting your specific weaknesses. (Examples of lessons I've created for students: process of elimination, tactical reading for really dense stimuli, deciding between two answer choices, and lessons for every question type)

• A teaching style focused on students narrating their thought process out loud. My core philosophy is that students learn best when they arrive at the answer on their own, rather than having information spoon-fed to them.

• Email support for one question per week only if you are truly stumped.

About me:

• Later-in-life law school applicant. Accepted to two schools, waiting to hear back from others.

• My favorite LR question is PT135/S4/Q23 (on the relationship between dogs and undomesticated wolves).

• My favorite RC passage is PT128/S1/P4 (Riddled Basins of Attraction).

About you:

• Planning to take the LSAT this year.

• Willing to do the work.

If you're interested in scheduling a free, 30-minute consultation, DM me with the following information: Your PT score range, your goal score, any previous official LSAT scores, any confirmed future LSAT dates, and what you want to get out of tutoring.

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and need a clearer system for understanding why they’re missing questions.

I went from 158 --> 178 in 4 months by learning how to diagnose my mistakes and change how I approached the test. I now work with students using that same approach, focusing on underlying reasoning issues that lead to fast, durable score improvements. I’m a good fit for students who want structured feedback and are willing to think carefully about their mistakes—not just do more questions.

You can find more about my tutoring philosophy and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!

Hi everyone

I'm studying full-time for the LSAT and looking for an experienced but affordable tutor, ideally someone who focuses on time management and reading comprehension performance. Referrals are much appreciated.

Please message me if you know someone great. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys! I’m in need of a tutor. I feel that I need the extra assistance to help get to my goal. Preferably a reasonable price range 😊

ive taken the lsat in oct and again in Jan and I’m just not seeing a proper improvement. I want to work with a tutor to get close to 170 if possible. I do have adhd so someone who understands and can work with that would be really helpful. Ideally id want weekly or even two sessions a week but my budget is super limited as I’m unemployed and my husband cannot afford to pay too much given our household expenses.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone! My name is Leo, and I am an LSAT tutor. I am taking on new clients remotely and scored a 174 on my LSAT. (happy to provide proof if necessary).

I have mastered LSAT question structures and shortcuts that will help you derive the correct answers. My tutoring approach is highly flexible - and tailored to your needs.

I am offering my tutoring services for $60/hour, but before committing, I am more than glad to set up a FREE consultation session over Zoom to see if we're a good fit and if you like my style of teaching.

If you're interested, please send me a message directly. Looking forward to working with you!

Hello! I am taking the LSAT in February, and I am also taking the LSAT in April.

I would like to have a tutor to help me study, review practice tests, and provide test tips.

If you are available to tutor me, please let me know asap!

Hi everyone,

My name is Alex, and I'm writing to offer my services as a tutor. I’ve worked as a professional educator for more than a decade, both in the classroom and in private instruction. I’ve worked with hundreds of students with diverse learning styles, and have (I'd like to think) developed some expertise in the art of teaching.

Over the years I've learned a critical (and humbling) lesson: the brilliance and subject-matter expertise of the teacher is irrelevant if they're misaligned with the learning needs and learning style of the student. This forum and thread is crawling with talented tutors who are likely a perfect fit for many of you. I'd like to provide you with some specific information about who I am as a teacher, my philosophy and approach, etc. in order to help you make an informed decision before you spend your hard-earned money.

Here is my approach (in a nutshell):

My overall goal is to make the test feel much simpler (but don't expect simple). This exam is inevitably hard, and there are questions that require a lot of brainpower. There are also, however, many easy questions masquerading as "hard" through complex language, disorienting syntax, trap answer choices, and other LSAC trickery. As a point of emphasis, I teach students to cut through the noise and distill each individual question type into its simplest form. The time this will save you (not to mention the energy) is invaluable when it comes to improvement.

Within the scope of this larger, overarching aim we will of course focus on the unique set of needs each student has (timing, specific question types, comprehension strategies, little "tricks of the trade", etc.). But the simplification is my central goal and thesis.

I myself earned a 176 primarily through focused self-study. I began with a 152 diagnostic. I know firsthand that this test is learnable, and I'd like to think that my improvement speaks to the efficacy of my approach, but again: it won't for everyone. If you feel, though, that it might be a fit for you, feel free to reach out here in the comments. Over the past few months, I’ve been fully booked with students preparing for the November LSAT. Many of them just hit the scores they’ve been working for, which has opened around three or four spots in my schedule. I’m looking to fill them with students who want consistent, serious preparation. I take this very seriously, and I wish to work with students who can offer a similar level of commitment.

I should mention also: I work with both individual students and small groups. Some people learn best by talking through problems with others; some prefer a quieter one-on-one space. I structure both formats so sessions feel focused, purposeful, and productive. A benefit of group lessons, of course, is the lower individual cost, but have some risk if people drop out. At the bottom of this post I've outlined a policy to mitigate this.

Please reach out in the comments if you have any questions or would like to work together. I wanted to keep this short and failed, but hey, at least you got some Reading Comp practice!

My rates are below

Meeting once per week: $75/one-hour session or $140/two-hour session ($70 per hour).

Meeting twice per week: $130/two one-hour sessions ($65 per hour) and $240/two two-hour sessions ($60 per hour, $120 per session)

Meeting three times per week: $165/three one-hour sessions ($55 per hour) and $300/three two-hour sessions ($50 per hour, $100 per session)

Group lesson policy

Group lessons are a great way to reduce cost, but there's a risk that students will drop out. Here's how I've tried to reduce that risk:

Group rates are the same as the individual rates listed above. If, however, a group member can't make a session, if I am given 24-hour notice, I will reduce the cost of the lesson to a degree that allows each student to continue paying their normal rate, up to a 25% reduction. I know that sounds like a logical reasoning question, so let me provide an example to illustrate this:

If a group has 5 people, and I'm meeting with them for two-hour sessions twice per week, their cost per session is $120. Split 5 ways this is $24 per student. If one member can't make it and I'm provided 24 hours notice, I'll reduce the price to $96, which allows each student to continue paying $24 for that lesson. I can, however, only reduce my price by a maximum of 25%. So if two students can't make it, I will charge $90 (25% off) which will bring the remaining three members to $30 for that lesson.

While this is imperfect, I think it strikes a decent balance and makes the risk on both ends tolerable.

I wanted to take a second to give a shout my 7sage tutor: Ariana. Ariana & I met under less than ideal circumstances, and she became a fantastic tutor for me. I personally have ADHD and I think her tutoring style worked really well for someone like me. One of my favorite things about our time together was the lesson plan because Ariana really took the time to tailor it to my needs while also making it doable with my busy schedule. Preparing for the LSAT has been such a stressful process and Ariana did such a good job of teaching me how to cope with that stress and tackle the questions in spite of. Would definitely recommend Ariana for students with or without ADHD!

Hi! I am passionate about accessibility, and I have recognized through substitute teaching and being in the LSAT space how many people are excluded because they don't have the resources to meet their goals. I try to close that gap. If you are interested, just open a chat with me here :) My rates are below.

$60/hr for sessions

If you have demonstrated financial need, we can be a bit more flexible with the price :)

Hi! I am looking for a high scoring tutor that is willing to look at my preptests with me and do a two-hour long session on this coming Saturday (1/17) and Sunday (1/18), and the following Saturday and Sunday. I am willing to pay up to $100/hr. Please respond to this post if interested. Thank you!

First, the cold details: I went from a 158->172 in a few months, I have five years of experience in teaching/tutoring at all levels, I am a professional editor (so I can help with application materials as well), and I charge $60/hour session.

My most recent success was bringing a student from a 161 PT score to a 171 on test day in just over a month of lessons with me!

I also offer an introductory call for 30 minutes (which you can reserve here: https://doodle.com/bp/alexandravanzutphen/introductory-session) so that you can see if your style matches mine, and I NEVER 'hard-cut' my lessons at 60 minutes, leaving time for any leftover material that needs covering.

My main motto is 'What, like it's hard?' Because when you crack the LSAT, it really feels like it was much easier than you initially thought it would be. While I have a lot of respect for tutors that have poured countless hours into the test, I believe my unique approach to tutoring can offer something different for those people struggling with high costs and set curriculums.

What do I do differently? Well, first of all, I've recorded videos and have written detailed documents covering ALL the basics, summarizing all the knowledge that I gained from prep-books and early drilling. I also have videos on a wide range of other topics, from test-day psychology to tips on how to improve reading speed/retention.

In our actual lessons, I let the student dictate the content of our session -- whether that's reviewing questions, doing a section together, or even looking over personal statements and additional essays. I like to change my approach based on what the student NEEDS, and so the types of lessons I conduct vary from person to person. For example, my last lesson involved going over conditional logic flashcards with my student.

Most importantly, I genuinely LOVE teaching and seeing improvement in my students -- I used to do this for free, for this very reason, but I needed to gain back some compensation for my time. If you are, however, struggling financially, I'd be happy to negotiate a lower rate over a package deal for my services, or even offer free access to my recorded material.
