Hi, I have taken the LSAT twice officially (nov 25 and jan 26) and have gotten basically a 145 on both tests. (yikes.) I thought I could make a big score jump, but obviously didnt. I am now planning on taking it in October, and I have been studying the past 3 months or so. On my blind reviews of my PTS, I have gotten 157-160. However, my actual score has not really gotten any better. I am genuinely struggling and am having a hard time identifying what it is that I am doing/understanding incorrectly. I've been stuck in the high 140's for months now, and I desperately want to see my score improve as soon as possible. The pressure of the time I have left to improve is definitely getting to me and I am starting to panic. I want to see myself improve so very bad. My goal score is at least a 160. If there is any tutor out there that could help me out, please please please let me know !!!!

I made it through most of college before finding out I had ADHD, which meant years of assuming I was just lazy when the truth was I learned differently than the way I was being taught. That's what showed me most people don't actually need to grind harder — they need to find what's actually holding them back. It's the whole basis of how I coach: no one-size-fits-all prep, everything built around how you specifically think through problems.

By figuring out my own way to learn the LSAT I went from a 151 to a 177. The increase wasn't talent or one breakthrough — it was months of grinding until I finally learned how to learn the LSAT. Once I figured that out, progress came fast and studying actually became fun. That process, and the four years and 1,000+ hours of coaching since, taught me what it takes to improve and how to help people get there faster than I did.

What I do:

  • Review your 7Sage analytics before every session so I already know where your biggest point gains are

  • Build custom drill sets for your specific weaknesses with difficulty levels, set sizes, and clear benchmarks

  • Pull from my own library of skill-specific handouts — built over four years — to give you the exact one for the gap you're working on

  • Send a detailed study plan after every session with everything you need for the week

  • Teach you how to diagnose your own mistakes so the hours you study on your own are actually effective

  • Work through problems with you live to catch the mental habits that are actually costing you points

As one student put it: "He teaches you how to fish."

Good fit for students who:

  • Feel like their score doesn't reflect the work they're putting in

  • Understand explanations after the fact but keep making similar mistakes

  • Want help structuring not just what to study, but how — things like session length, timing, and building a consistent daily routine

Here's what that looks like in practice:

One of my students had been stuck in the mid 150s. Turns out she was 0 for 6 on one specific question pattern and solid on everything else. Two weeks of targeted work and her next practice test was a 167. Another student came to me after scoring a 165 on the actual LSAT. The habit that got her there — dialing in on small details — had started working against her. She was overcomplicating questions when the right move was to step back. We figured out when to use that mode and when to switch gears. Six weeks later she scored a 175.

Pricing:

  • Free consultation to start, no commitment

  • First session: flat $100. Fully refundable if it's not the right fit

  • After that: $150/hour ($225 for a standard 90-minute session)

  • No packages, no commitments. Week by week.

Finding the right coach matters, so I want you to see how I work before you commit. That's why the consultation is free and the first session is fully refundable.

Getting started:

We start with a free 20–30 minute consultation so I can learn where you're at. I respond fastest by text, but feel free to DM here too.

Hi, I'm Nick! I work primarily with students who feel stuck despite doing a lot of practice and who 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!

I'm currently enrolled in the 7Sage Total Prep Intensive course (June 21–September 8) and am looking for a tutor to supplement the class as I prepare for the September LSAT.

I'm hoping to find someone who:

  • Is very familiar with the 7Sage curriculum and teaching approach (ideally a current or former 7Sage tutor or someone who has extensively used the program).

  • Can help reinforce concepts from class, review practice tests and timed sections, identify patterns in my mistakes, and develop strategies for improving accuracy and timing.

  • Is available to meet 1–2 times per week, starting at the end of July through early September.

  • Charges around $85/hour or less (though I'm open to discussing rates for the right fit).

A little about me: I'm currently PTing in the mid-150s and am aiming for a 170. I'll be working full-time while studying, and I'm committed to a consistent study schedule of 2 hours each morning in addition to the 7Sage class and tutoring sessions. I'm looking for someone who can help me stay accountable, identify my biggest opportunities for improvement, refine my strategy, and maximize my score over the final seven weeks before the exam.

If you think we'd be a good fit, please send me a message with a little about your background, experience with 7Sage, rates, and teaching style. You can reach me at madyzirlin@gmail.com Thanks!

Hope everyone is doing well this weekend.

As the title shows, I am seeking a tutor that has the special ability to train me on successfully diagramming Conditional Questions and detecting Casual Questions. Italics and bold were used because simply said, I do not understand Conditional Questions.

On the official November 2025 LSAT, I was able to score a 157. On various PTs through 7Sage, I have been able to score 158, 162, 165, and 169.

I am trying to master conditionals because they absolutely ruin my sections, and ultimately, my days. I did well in an Intro to Logic class in college and yet, I'm still struggling mapping them out correctly.

Casual is a bit more understood but still gives me a fair bit of trouble.

In essence, I am looking for someone that has had experience with someone like me and that was able to break-through to them. My budget is up to $50 an hour. If it goes well, I would be happy to go beyond learning just this and picking up any other points I can along the road.

Thank you all.

Hey everyone!

I went from a 138 → 173 on the LSAT.

The test did not come naturally to me. I had to build a more structured, intuitive approach from the ground up, and that is the same approach I now use with students who feel stuck, inconsistent, or unsure how to improve.

A bit about me:

- Accepted to top law schools, including UBC

- Worked at the University of Toronto

- Built LSAT systems, drills, and study plans for real students

- Genuinely love teaching and helping students make the test feel manageable

If you are:

- stuck between two answer choices

- struggling with timing

- missing the same question types repeatedly

- studying a lot but not seeing consistent gains

- unsure how to review mistakes effectively

I can help you build a clearer plan.

My tutoring is focused on understanding, strategy, and consistency, not just doing more questions. We can work on Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, wrong-answer review, timing, study planning, and custom drills.

I am offering a free first session to see if we are a good fit.

Hello everyone,

My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June LSAT. I’m currently offering LSAT tutoring focused on helping students identify and eliminate recurring mistakes through a structured, detail-oriented review process.

As a non-native English speaker, I understand the specific challenges that can come with mastering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. My own preparation involved breaking down every mistake carefully and building targeted drills to fix weak patterns rather than just doing more practice tests.

What I offer:

  1. Free initial consultation to analyze your current performance and identify key improvement areas

  2. Detailed review of your PrepTests to detect recurring mistake patterns

  3. Personalized drills tailored specifically to your weaknesses

  4. Customized study plan focused on efficient score improvement

  5. Strategy development for Logical Reasoning (my main strength)

If we are a good fit after the consultation, my rate is $20/hour.

This is best suited for students who are around the 150–160 range and want to break into the 160s or 170s with a more structured and analytical approach.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like to set up a consultation or ask any questions.

Best, João

Hi everyone!

I'm taking the September LSAT and I'm currently scoring in the low-to-mid 160s. My goal is a 173, and I'm looking for a tutor to help me get there.

I'm looking for someone who offers a personalized approach based on my strengths and weaknesses rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

I also have an LSAC fee waiver, so I'm especially interested in tutors who offer discounted rates or flexible pricing for fee-waiver students.

If you think we'd be a good fit, feel free to reach out with your score, experience, rates, and whether you offer a free consultation.

Thanks!

Hi all! I'm hoping to find a tutor who can help me get from 162 to the high 160s/low 170s range. Particular areas of focus I'd love to improve upon are conditional reasoning, SA and NA questions, and RC. I'm a non-traditional future law school applicant who works full-time and has been out of school for six years, so even just talking through study tips for these areas would be helpful. Budget-wise, I'd ideally like to keep the session cost to ~$100 per session and would love someone who can accommodate either mornings before my workday (~7am) or after the workday (5pm ET), or weekends. Would love to hear from you if you think you could be a fit to help me with my goals - thanks in advance :)

Hi all! I took the June test and got a 174. I had taken 10 PTs across the 3 months before ranging from 171-180, with a 176 average. I decided to take a crack at retaking it in August aiming for a score on the higher end of my range. I'm looking for a tutor with particular experience in decreasing variability on the high end to help my chances at locking in a higher score. Thank you!

I’m looking for a tutor to work with once or twice a week leading up to the November LSAT. This is my fourth attempt. I started with a 144 with zero prep, got a 145 three months later, and just scored a 146 this June after six months of solo drilling. I’ve been humbled by this test and realize I need a new strategy. My target range is 150 to 155 max. As a disabled veteran, my funding is secure, so I just need to hit the threshold for admission rather than chasing scholarship points.

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!

I'm a 169 looking to get to 173+ by August. Currently my weaknesses are RC speed (avg like -3/-4 per section usually cuz timing) and conditional reasoning/phen-hyp LR questions. I was pretty committed to only using self-study to get my score but now want to pull out all the stops before this august test. I'm specifically looking for someone who has helped people make the same jump I'm trying to make.

Hello Everyone!

If you just got your score back and are disappointed, lets make a plan for success. I love to help students learn that the LSAT is a conquerable test! Let’s start with a consult so that we can chart everything out, so I know what your goals are and you know how we can best reach them together! For a bit of background here is what working together typically looks like:

Initial Consult (Getting You Set Up for Success):

Our first session is all about understanding you: your goals, your timeline, and how you learn best. We’ll cover:

• Your background and any prior LSAT prep

• Your strengths (e.g., Logical Reasoning vs. Reading Comprehension)

• Your target score and law school goals

• What you’ve tried so far and what has/hasn’t worked

From there, I’ll build a customized study plan tailored to you. Our typical ongoing session structure:

• Strategic Review – We review recent practice, track progress, and break down missed questions in detail.

• Targeted Lesson – Focused instruction based on your needs (e.g., flaw questions, strengthen/weaken, RC main point, timing strategy).

• Drill & Practice – Apply concepts immediately with guided drills and live problem-solving.

• Recap & Homework – Clear takeaways and a structured plan for what to work on before our next session.

My goal is not just to improve your score, but to help you develop a repeatable system for approaching every question with confidence. I like to be very hands on and supportive throughout your studying to both make sure you are learning to the best of your ability and that you have a good accountability partner! You will leave each class knowing what to do in our time apart!

Reach out via chat or post a comment and Ill reach out to you- lets get started this week on mastering the LSAT together!

Best,

John

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 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.

The easiest way to reach out is to use the scheduler at my website: https://www.ivorytowertutoring.com/schedule/ . You can also shoot me a DM here.

Since scores came out today, I'd recommend taking a quick breath before scheduling an evaluation, though. Process that score before booking a dozen different evaluations. Once you're calm and ready to move forward, it'll be easier to decide between all the different options out there.

Hi all! I'm Kerry, and I'm currently taking students for the August 2026 LSAT and beyond.

I'm a magna cum laude J.D. graduate of Michigan Law, and I also have an M.A. in Law from Yale University. After leaving BigLaw and transitioning into parenthood, I began tutoring the LSAT full-time in 2015. I've helped hundreds of students gain admission to dozens of law schools all around the U.S. and Canada. I have also contracted with multiple law schools and undergrad instiutions to teach or tutor LSAT prep, especially through their diversity pipeline programs. Moreover, I actively tutor law students and bar exam prep and have taught First Amendment and Media Law as a law school adjunct professor.

My emphasis is on true comprehension--there is simply no substitute for truly understanding what is being asked of you, what your job is, and how to do that job. I endeavor to break down the thought processes that high scorers engage in, step by step, so that you can progress quickly and consistently.

I live in the Detroit area, Eastern time zone, and I tutor five days a week (Tuesdays and Saturdays are my days off). I keep a wide range of hours to make myself available to students across various time zones, but I prefer to work between 9 a.m. Eastern and 10 p.m. Eastern. At the moment, my widest availability is Fridays and Sundays, though I have a few spots on other days.

My preferred session length is 90 minutes, though I'm happy to work with you if you have a preference for shorter or longer. My base rate is $120 per hour ($180 for a single 90-minute sessions), and I do offer package discounts of up to 20% off for a package of 20 sessions or more). Other discounts are available for smaller packages.

Please reach out to me at kerry@lsatmaven.com and mention that you found me on 7Sage!

Hello! My name is Mickey and I started tutoring recently with the goal of 1) making tutoring more accessible, especially for fee-waiver applicants, and 2) teaching the fundamentals of logical reasoning to help students who are passionate about becoming lawyers but for whom logical reasoning might not come easily to. My interest in doing this was borne out of helping my brother and a friend of mine, both of whom the second bullet point applies to, combined with the fact that I really enjoy the logical reasoning problems on the LSAT, and I also really enjoying 1-on-1 teaching. Finding enjoyment in studying for this test is the reason I am applying to law school, and I want to share my approach to these problems with you!

Most of my sessions with current students involve walking through sets of problems where I listen to my student's approach and then share mine, emphasizing any takeaways that the student can apply to similar situations in the future. Often, we go in-depth on only a handful of problems throughout a session, focusing on accuracy and critical analysis instead of speed.

The tutoring I am offering is for students whose goal is to score in the 160s and are currently testing anywhere below that. If your goal is to score higher, I may also be able to be of help as long as you are currently below the 160 range. I believe that mastering the fundamentals of LR makes this goal very, very doable, no matter your starting point. While this service is intended to be for students who can't afford more expensive tutoring, anyone is welcome to reach out! I offer a free consultation and two free sessions to see if we are a good fit. I have 4 more spots left at $18/hour (first come first serve), and after those are filled I will charge $25/hour. For more information about my philosophy, approach, and credentials, please check out my website! Here it is: https://www.fundamentlr.com

You may book a free consultation at this link: https://calendar.app.google/PuiSxamTnaDTr7Gh8

Otherwise, feel free to comment and I will DM you, send me a DM, or check my website for my phone number & email. Looking forward to working with you!

Getting started:

I can take on 3 or 4 new students right now before my schedule fills up. We start with a free 15–20 minute consultation so I can learn where you're at. I respond much quicker and prefer text but feel free to DM as well.

Hey! As a current law student who went through the admissions process relatively recently, I know how overwhelming everything can feel. I'm here to hopefully relieve some of your anxiety!

After a 155 initial diagnostic, I studied over the course of several months while working full time and was able to get to a point where I was consistently scoring in the 175~180 range. With an official score of 170 and a year of law school under my belt, I'm excited to share what I've learned and help others achieve their goals.

What I'm offering:

  • My tutoring style is highly conversational and interactive. I believe students learn best by actively engaging with concepts and working through problems together, rather than simply listening to explanations.

  • Personalized, one-on-one sessions via Zoom

  • 35$/hour with a free initial consultation

  • Accessibility outside of lessons via text, or email for general questions

  • Someone to chat with about the admissions process in general!

Free Initial Consultation:

  • Short chat regarding your goals, and how I can help

  • Quick walkthrough of a couple of LSAT problems to get a sense of how our sessions would look

If interested, please shoot me an email at jadecho@bu.edu! I'd be happy to chat and see if I'm a good fit for you.
