Hi everyone! I hope you all are doing well. I am looking for an affordable tutor as I can't afford much. I currently am in the low 160s and I am trying to get to mid 170s by October/November exams. I like a more intuitive approach. I know 2-3 months is a stretch, but I am fully committed.
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for an experienced tutor to help me push past a stubborn plateau. My current average is a 164 (highest PT: 165), and my goal is to break 170+ for the September exam.
I already have a strong background in the foundations and spend a lot of time doing targeted drilling and in-depth reviews of my wrong answers. However, I’m consistently getting stuck in a few specific ways:
Logical Reasoning: I consistently narrow it down to the correct answer and one distractor, and then overthink and talk myself into the wrong choice. I also frequently eliminate the correct answer because it feels like it makes too much of an assumption.
Reading Comprehension: My main struggle here is just parsing dense text and misunderstanding the nuances of the passage or the questions.
General: Regardless of the question type, I sometimes struggle with parsing confusing language, and there are always a few questions where I second-guess my way out of the right answer.
I don't need to relearn the basics; I need someone who can get into my head, correct my thought process for eliminating trap answers in LR, and help me parse RC more effectively.
If you have experience helping students bridge this specific mid-160s gap, please DM me with your rates and availability!
Hello! Looking for a virtual tutor that does not charge excessively. Testing at 151, aiming for 165.
Hi everyone!
My name is Isak – I improved from a 153 diagnostic to a 173 on the official April 2026 test.
I currently offer tutoring at a base rate of $40/hour. Discounts are available with packages – or if you have a fee waiver. I also offer a free initial consultation. Drop me a DM!
We could be a good fit if:
- You’re not sure where to attack certain LR arguments;
- Your accuracy holds up untimed and drops with the clock on;
- RC is your weakest section and you’re not sure how to approach it;
- English is your second language.
This test is built to confuse you, and each section does it differently. LR packs everyday logic into structures meant to obscure it. On RC, the issue isn't reading ability – it's reading for content instead of structure. RC was my own biggest gain, from -15 on my first PT to -1/-2 by the end.
My approach:
- Stripping an LR argument to its attackable logic before you touch the choices;
- Reading RC for structure, so the questions become lookups against a map you already built;
- Learning at the right level: targeted drill sets, challenging but never more than you can take on at once.
About me:
I’m a foreign lawyer – I already have an LLB in English law, and an LLM in international trade law, both awarded with top honors. Besides tutoring I am an international law researcher and have published several works in journals. English is my second language after Norwegian, and I also speak Russian.
All the best,
Isak
Hi,
I started tutoring LR fundamentals about a month ago and it has been immensely rewarding; for that reason, I would love to take on some new clients. I work with students on whose goal is to score in the 160s and are currently anywhere below that. I try to show that by learning the fundamentals of LR this becomes shockingly attainable! I offer one free consultation and then generally charge $25 an hour, but have made exceptions with lots of students for whom that is too steep. First session is also free/refunded after that if you decide not to continue! Bulk session packages are also a possibility at a $5 discount! I'm on a mission to make tutoring more equitable. For more information about my philosophy, approach, and credentials, please check out my website! Here it is: https://www.fundamentlr.com

Otherwise, feel free to send me an email at mickey.claffey@gmail.com or text me at 7737919362. You can also comment or DM me but sometimes I don't get notifications for those so apologies in advance for any delayed response!

Hello everyone,
My name is João, and I scored a 171 on the June LSAT.
New: Logical Reasoning Group Workshop (August 1)
I'm trying something new this month: a 3-hour live Logical Reasoning workshop on August 1, from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM ET.
The goal is to work through real LR questions together, discuss different solution methods, and break down the reasoning behind each question type.
I'm looking for up to 5 students to join the first session. The cost is $30 per student.
If that sounds interesting, feel free to send me a message!
1-on-1 LSAT Tutoring
I'm also offering individual 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 carefully analyzing every mistake and creating targeted drills to eliminate recurring weaknesses instead of simply taking more practice tests.
What I offer:
Free initial consultation to analyze your current performance and identify key improvement areas
Detailed review of your PrepTests to detect recurring mistake patterns
Personalized drills tailored to your specific weaknesses
Customized study plan focused on efficient score improvement
Logical Reasoning strategy development (my strongest section)
If we're a good fit after the consultation, my rate is $20/hour.
My tutoring is especially well suited for students currently scoring in the 150–160 range who want a structured, analytical approach to reaching the 160s or 170s.
Feel free to reach out if you'd like to schedule a consultation or ask any questions.
Best,
João
I’ve been studying for about two months now (~15 mins a day during the week on top of a 60+ hour/week job), and my practice tests are for the most part consistently in the high 160s with blind review in the high 170s, but today I just scored an all time low 163 despite having a perfect score on one section (the third). I’ve gotten perfect scores on both LR and RC sections several times both as part of the test and as one-off. But I can’t break the 170 barrier on a timed test, usually with one very strong LR section and two ~-5ish LR/RC sections. I would like to take the test in September and October then be done but having a 170+ and ideally in the 172-174 range is non negotiable for me to submit an application next cycle. Any advice on the best strategy to reach my goals? I am open to tutoring but have limited time and flexibility in my schedule due to my job.
Hi everyone!
I'm planning on taking the Aug and Sept LSATs. Wanting to stabilize/increase my score (and really just polish up my skills). I've been self-studying up until this point.
Budget is ideally under $100/hr. If possible, a quick/free consultation would be appreciated just so I know it's a right fit.
If anyone's local to the metro-Detroit (MI) or Madison (WI) areas, that'd be preferable. Online tutoring is ok too!
I'd like to start after 8/8. Please message me if you have availability!
Hello friends. I am studying for the test and want to try and improve from a PT average of 172 (one official attempt at 170 last January) to the high 170s.
One of the ways I want to try this is by spreading the love and offering a few people free tutoring! The idea is that by helping others and thoroughly explaining questions I will gain a greater mastery over them.
Reach out to 857-205-7233 if you are interested. I am only interested in trying to help people who are serious about the test and who can put in at least 4 hours a week of studying.
I hope to hear from you,
Best,
Alex
Hey everyone! I’m Jason and I’m offering private LSAT tutoring! www.sheffermancoaching.com
My Approach: My tutoring is very hands on and personalized because that was the style of tutoring I needed but never got. I realized most LSAT tutors are the natural test takers not needing to have studied much. The LSAT did not come naturally to me…I took the LSAT 6 times starting from a 147 to eventually a 173. I needed someone to understand things at my level (the very bottom) and to walk me through the process.
Limited Availability: I keep my roster small on purpose because I get genuinely involved with everyone I work with. My tutoring works best when it feels like a friend who’s had similar experiences rather than you feeling like I’m counting the minutes until the session is over.
A bit about me: I studied the intersection of philosophy and cognitive psychology and TA’d in formal logic, was the commencement speaker and graduated from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law in 2025 and worked as a startup corporate lawyer for Cooley LLP.
Hi,
I’m looking for an LSAT tutor who can help me reach at least a 173 by the September (ideally) or October administration.
On average, there is a 13-point difference between my timed scores and my blind review scores. I used PowerScore’s Logical Reasoning Bible to teach myself the fundamentals, and I’m also a philosophy major who has taken formal logic courses. I believe I understand most of the underlying skills necessary to score in the 170s, but I struggle to apply them consistently under timed conditions.
When I’m timed, I tend to freeze, make careless mistakes, second-guess myself, and change correct answers. I’ve documented at least ten instances in my wrong answer journal where I initially selected the correct answer and then changed it.
I’m looking for a tutor who can help me improve my timing, confidence, decision-making, and consistency under pressure—not simply reteach the foundational material (though I understand that might be necessary as well). Could also use some help on RC.
Hi everyone! I'm Jacqueline, and I'm currently accepting new LSAT students.
A little about me—I earned a 173 on the official LSAT this June after studying for less than a year, entirely through self-studying. I took my first official test in April, scored just under 170, and improved to a 173 on my second attempt in June.
What makes my journey a little different is that I prepared for the LSAT while having a full-time job. I also graduated from art school several years ago, so I was returning to academic reading and logical reasoning after a long break. On top of that, English isn't my first language, so I know what it's like to spend extra time working through dense LR stimuli and RC passages before they start to feel natural.
Because of that, I especially enjoy working with students who:
are balancing a full-time job or other major commitments;
are coming from a "nontraditional" background;
haven't been in school for several years; or
simply aren't sure where to begin.
My Approach
The LSAT isn't just about doing more practice questions—it's about learning how to think like the test.
Rather than relying on generic study plans, I focus on helping students understand why the test works the way it does and build efficient study habits that fit their schedules. We'll work together to:
build a realistic study plan based on your timeline and commitments;
strengthen your Logical Reasoning fundamentals and develop a consistent approach to each question type;
review mistakes to identify patterns instead of simply checking the correct answer;
develop efficient review habits and study routines that maximize limited study time; and
build confidence so you know exactly what you're looking for on test day.
Since I self-studied while working full-time, I'm also happy to share the strategies, routines, and productivity tips that helped me stay consistent without burning out.
Availability
I'm based in Korea Standard Time (KST / UTC+9), making me a great fit for students in Korea, Singapore, Japan, Australia, and other Asia-Pacific time zones. I'm also happy to work with students in North America if our schedules align.
Free introductory consultation available.
If you think we'd be a good fit—or even if you just have questions about the LSAT—I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to send me a message!
Hi 7Sage users!
I posted here in June and ended up filling most of my tutoring availability with students preparing for the August LSAT. Since many of those students are now approaching test day, I expect additional spots to open soon for students who are seeking individualized LSAT support.
About me: I scored a 180 on the LSAT and have been tutoring for the test full-time since then. I work with students across different score ranges, from those still building their foundation to those trying to break into the high 160s and 170s. My focus is on making the test feel less random by helping students build a clear, repeatable process.
My approach: I do not think LSAT tutoring should just be someone explaining questions after you miss them. Most students already understand explanations once they hear them. The harder part is learning how to see the issue before choosing an answer.
For Logical Reasoning, I focus on argument structure, flaw recognition, prediction, and wrong-answer elimination. We work on identifying what the argument is actually doing, where it is vulnerable, and what the correct answer needs to accomplish.
For Reading Comprehension, I focus on structure, viewpoint, author attitude, and passage organization. The goal is not to memorize every detail, but to understand how the passage is structured and where to return for support when a question asks for it.
Sessions are interactive. I want to hear how you are thinking through the question before I explain it. That lets us figure out whether the issue is comprehension, timing, answer choice discipline, confidence, or review habits. From there, we build a study plan around your actual weaknesses rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Good fit for students who:
feel inconsistent across practice tests
understand explanations after the fact, but miss similar questions later
struggle with timing or confidence
want a clearer process for LR and RC
are trying to move from the 150s into the 160s, from the 160s into the 170s, or 170+
want more structure in their weekly study plan
are struggling to grasp the foundations of the exam
Options: I offer both 1:1 tutoring and group classes (meeting Thursdays at 6pm & Sundays at 3pm EST).
1:1 tutoring:
Single session: $120/hour → 1-hour session
Group class (max of 10 people):
Drop-in class: $25/class → Join the next class!
I also offer a free consultation so we can talk through your current score, goal score, timeline, and whether tutoring would be a good fit.
To book, use one of the links above. You can also comment here or send me a private message on 7Sage with any questions.
I take my lsat in August and I'm looking for 1 or 2 sessions of tutoring before my test to tried to figure out exactly what I'm doing wrong. When it comes to reading comp, timing is definitely the issue. I either spend way too much time on the passage or try to read it faster and then not fully grasp everything. Casual and conditional reasoning have been my most missed questions and I wonder if there's something I'm not fully understanding that a tutor can help point out. Please reach out.
Hi All,
I took the LSAT in 2025 and am starting law school in the fall. Like you, I studied under a tutor; I will bring only actionable steps that made a difference in my own performance curve.
For roughly two to three months, I took enough practice tests to start seeing questions before falling asleep at night. I'd like to help you hit your target score much sooner than that point, and with far fewer tests.
Wherever you may be (phase-wise) in your prep, I'll hit the ground running with you to help devise an efficient routine. I started at a baseline score of 150, and hit 170 in my prep after worrying less about scoring fluctuations (ironically).
The authors have all the time in the world to design questions that attempt to confuse, distort, and frustrate your beliefs—resulting in a test of your tension tolerance as much as any general reasoning ability. I will make sure to include practice strategies to mitigate overwhelming nerves or common stress.
Another area of interest I'd love to assist you with: any application essays you may have or want to start considering. I'm from a family of writers and see the drafting phase of an application as a chance to understand yourself from a stranger's perspective.
Let me know if you'd like to start studying.
Big jump from my 164 on my last PT. Is it time to turn to private tutoring to close the gap between this and a 170+ score? Or at least score this high consistently?
I've been struggling with RC but the bible really improved my score.
My LR has been plateaued for a month (not including that exp section) as -4 is my average. What are my next steps?!
Hi! I've been studying for the past few months and scored a 162 last November and a 163 this June. While my understanding of the test has improved significantly, and I consistently score in the high 160s to mid-170s during Blind Review, my timed PT scores have plateaued.
My biggest challenge isn't content knowledge; it's execution under timed conditions. When the clock is running, I struggle to process information efficiently, make predictions, and confidently eliminate answer choices, even on questions I can solve correctly during review. I know my understanding is there, but I'm having trouble translating it into timed performance.
I'm looking for a tutor who specializes in helping students improve execution under pressure: building a reliable thought process, making decisions confidently under time constraints, and developing the mental consistency to perform during full-timed sections the way I do in drills and Blind Review. If you've helped students overcome this kind of timing and execution gap, I'd love to connect.
I am currently in my second round of studying and have been consistently studying for 7 months. I began with the core curriculum and have been working through a mix of drills, sections, and PTs. My score has moved from a diagnostic score in the 140s, to the mid 150s in my first round of studying, to a 155 official score on the October 2025 test, now to the low 160s. I have been trying to focus on specific question types that I am consistently missing. While I have seen vast improvement on conditional reasoning questions and in RC questions as a whole, I am still missing a large number of causal reasoning questions. I have tried to diagnosis the issue and figure out where I am going wrong when answering causal reasoning questions, but I have not been able to nail down the misstep. I am looking for a tutor to help me figure out where I am going wrong on causal reasoning question types. I am taking the September 2026 test so I realize time to improve is quickly fleeting, but I am determined to put in the work needed to address the gaps. Please reach out if you think you can help! Thank you!
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:
Free initial consultation to analyze your current performance and identify key improvement areas
Detailed review of your PrepTests to detect recurring mistake patterns
Personalized drills tailored specifically to your weaknesses
Customized study plan focused on efficient score improvement
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 looking for an experienced LSAT tutor who can help me improve as quickly and efficiently as possible. I started with a 130 diagnostic and am currently around 140 after about 2 months of self-study.
I've made solid progress in identifying question types and understanding what each question is asking. On one of my recent LR sections, I scored -13 timed, but improved to -5 on Blind Review. I usually get around +8 on blind review, which makes me think my biggest issues are execution, timing, and consistency rather than understanding the material.
I've been consistently studying with 7Sage, working through the Core Curriculum and learning the foundations rather than just drilling questions. I've completed over 400 Logical Reasoning questions and put in a lot of time, but I think I've reached the point where personalized coaching would help me improve much faster.
My goal is to score 165+ on the LSAT and apply this admissions cycle.
If you've helped students make similar improvements, I'd love to hear about your experience, your LSAT score, your hourly rate, and your availability. Thanks!
Hi! I scored a 168 in June and will be taking the August and potentially September exams. I'm stuck scoring around 170 and would like to bump my score to a 173. I'm looking for a few tailored sessions to help me break through my plateau.
Bonus points if you've had experience working with students with ADHD!
