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.

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.

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 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 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!

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, 3-minute diagnostic consultation to see if we might be a good fit for each other.

Rate: $45-50/hr (depending on frequency)

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! 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!

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!

I am Hunter. I am an LSAT tutor with 5+ years of LSAT tutoring experience. I have helped many clients score in the 170s. I offer customized LSAT tutoring to fit your learning style. Because my tutoring is boutique and results-driven, I limit my active client list to ensure the highest level of personalized care.

I am a 3L at a T14 Law School.

Feel free to message me directly or fill out this form (https://forms.gle/rYe8hFzuALNqLocLA) to set up a free consultation. During the consultation, we will discuss your study plan and ways to improve your score.

Hi all!

I work with 165–175 scorers looking to move from -2 to -6 to -0/-1 on the LR section of the LSAT, and am currently taking up to two students.

Bio

• #1 ranked social sciences student in my year at Yale

• −0 average across last 5 timed LR sections, −1 average across last 15 (official score pending, Jan. administration)

• Background in competitive debate, experience teaching students at all levels

Structure

• No upfront commitment

• 30-minute consultation call to assess fit

• Weekly meetings

• Discounts available for FAFSA students

Tutoring Focus

I specialize in last-mile LR improvement for students hoping to achieve scores in the 170/175+ range. I help with issues that standard prep methods stop addressing once you already understand the logic:

• Timing under uncertainty

• Precise question-type control

• Avoiding attractive wrong answers without over-elimination

Most −2 to −6 scorers miss questions not due to conceptual gaps, but because they:

• Commit too early under time pressure

• Misidentify what the question is actually asking

• Eliminate correct answers for the wrong reason

My sessions are designed to diagnose and fix these failure modes under real test-time conditions, giving you structure and confidence to ace coin-flip questions.

If interested, please fill out the following form: https://forms.gle/EZabFT9qxMF4JJs26. If you have any questions, feel free to comment in thread!

EDIT: Wow, thanks for the strong interest everyone!

Given my limited capacity, I'm going to pause new consultations for now, but feel free to fill out the form if you are interested. I will keep a waitlist and will be in touch if there's a good fit / spots open up.

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!

I’ve been tutoring the LSAT for about 5 years and will have a few openings after the January exam. I’m looking to take on a small number of motivated students for the next few months who are seeking sustainable score gains. I am passionate about teaching this test and helping students achieve their goals.

I scored a 180 and studied while working 20+ hours a week and attending a competitive undergrad, so I’m very familiar with balancing LSAT prep with a busy schedule. Because of that, I keep my rates affordable and focus heavily on efficient, structured studying rather than busywork. I spend a lot of my personal time outside of sessions helping my students, answering questions. This test opened many doors for me so I value its importance and being able to push my students properly toward their goals and hold them accountable during the week with the work I assign.

Rates (new students):

Free 20-minute strategy session

• $75/hr single session

• 5 hours – $350 ($70/hr)

• 10 hours – $650 ($65/hr)

• 15 hours – $900 ($60/hr)

• 20 hours – $1000 ($50/hr)

My approach is hands-on: we review PTs together, break down hard question types, clean up bad habits, and I give feedback/check-ins during the week so progress continues between sessions.

If you’re aiming for more consistency, higher scores, or want structured guidance heading into spring tests, feel free to reach out, very happy to chat or help.

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.

Hello all, I am offering tutoring through at least Spring 2026. I am a law school graduate (2024 - WashU) and am preparing for the February Bar Exam in the Southern US. I believe that everyone needs to have their own unique approach to this test, so I offer personalized guidance alongside universally helpful tips and approaches. I am happy to answer any questions and plan for a good score together through an initial free consultation.

Edit: I'm not currently taking on any more students. I will make an updated post when I have additional availability.

Hi everyone,

I'm offering affordable LSAT tutoring at $50/hour. I scored a 178 on the LSAT and have been working with a few students in all different score ranges. The LSAT is a test that largely depends on identifying patterns of reasoning and learning formal logic skills. I think this test is super learnable, but it takes a lot of focus to be able to identify the gaps in your reasoning that might be preventing you from improving your score. Through tutoring sessions, I would be happy to work with you to identify these reasoning gaps and help you reach your goal score.

I'm currently looking to take on 3 or 4 more students, so let me know if you're interested. I also offer discounted rates for students who might be interested in scheduling several hours of tutoring at a time.

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 :)

Hey all- excited about this new feature as I used 7SAGE to teach myself the LSAT and go from a low 150s diagnostic to a 180 on test day after a few months of studying.

I’ve been tutoring the LSAT for 4+ years, and now that October scores are out I have a few open slots, so I’m looking to take on a few motivated students for the next few months who want to achieve success on the LSAT. I received a 180 5 years ago and have been tutoring for about 4 years. This test opened a lot of doors for me, and I am very passionate about helping my students achieve their goals.

Discounted Rates for New Students:

• ⁠Free 30-minute strategy session

• ⁠$75/hr single session

• ⁠5 hours - $350

• ⁠10 hours - $600

• ⁠15+ - Flexible rates

My focus is on building strong approaches and eliminating bad habits by reviewing PTs together, breaking down problem sets, and giving feedback/tips throughout the week so progress continues between sessions.

Recently, I passed the bar exam and am taking some time off before work, so I have a lot of availability for tutoring and recent experience and tips related to intense studying. Feel free to reach out for tutoring or advice.

If you’re aiming for more consistency and higher scores, or just want some tips feel free to reach out, I’d be happy to help!

SCORE BELOW

My accolades are above, but here's a few more: students of mine have gone on to break into the 170's, and have been accepted to Colombia, The University of Chicago, Stanford, and Harvard.

I was where you are now: I had a test to crush and a gulf between my skills and achieving that T-14 goal score. Well, I did what any person would do who didn't know what they were doing; I went searching for advice from people who had already achieved success. I read for hours and hours, the accounts of people who had received perfect and near perfect scores. Their advice had a very few common threads:

-Find a major prep company and completely work through all of their strategy lessons and drills

-Take many sections and tests both in untimed and timed formats

-Blind review all timed tests (taking them again entirely without a timer)

-Carefully dissect all incorrectly answered questions

At the time, the LSAT was still on paper and so explanations for LSAT questions were scarce. This was to my benefit and it can be to yours as well. That means relying on the explanations of 7Sage should only be done after you've exhausted considerable effort trying to dissect the questions yourself, given the correct answer. If 7Sage's explanation doesn't make sense or you are curious to hear a question explained in a different way, well that's what a tutor is for! I'll add just one bit advice to that which I found in my research: learn and understand any vocab word related to argumentation that the LSAT uses, which you are unfamiliar with.

If you'd like a tutor to help you through the rough patches and plateaus, I'm eager to join you where you're at on your LSAT journey. I use an "I do, we do, you do" approach to new materials. I'll model the appropriate techniques, whether that means stem analysis, argument analysis, passage annotation, answer prediction, answer choice selection, or trap answer analysis. From there I'll check to see if you've got the basics and ask you to take the next step at various points. Then it will be your job to walk us through an example. Finally, I'll only observe as you begin a new example and work through it beginning to end, giving my analysis or commentary at the end.

Sessions are typically two hours, once or twice a week depending on availability and the student's timeline. We'll often spend the first third/half of the session reviewing any questions that have been flagged for review by you. From there we'll jump into new materials.

My hourly rate changes based on whether you buy a package of hours or seek to pay session by session. It is as follows:

20 hour package - $70/hr

10 hour package - $80/hr

Session by session - $90hr

For moderator use only: Apologies for the repost, I think the initial one was in the wrong room. 1 per week, I know.

Hi! I am looking for a tutor!

A bit of background: I have been studying for the LSAT since 2022, while I was still in undergrad. From 2022-2025, I was studying for the LSAT, while finishing my undergrad degree, internships, and working a full-time job. As you can tell, I was juggling a lot at once. From my studying, I was able to score at one point a 160, but never had that or a resembles of that score on an official LSAT test. I have taken the LSAT 3 times already and now taking a gap year.

I am familiar with the LSAT concepts, have had previous tutoring experience, but looking to strengthening the concepts while not paying an arm and a leg for the price of tutoring.

What I believe the type of tutoring that will help me reach my desired LSAT goal is a resembles of a classroom instruction, where we can go over a concept that I am struggling with, break it down, and I can be assigned weekly homework to strengthen said concept. From previous tutoring experience, I do not excel with only doing randomized LR/RC questions, get some right, get some wrong but with no explanation. I am looking for in-depth explanations and corrections.

If this is the type of structure you offer, I would love to connect!

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!
