Hi - I'm an LSAT instructor/tutor with 10 years of private tutoring experience and five years of experience at a major test prep company, where I tutored one-on-one as well as taught in front of a classroom. I received LSAT scores above the 90th percentile.
I have helped countless LSAT students achieve their law school goals. LSAT requires a way of thinking that might feel unfamiliar to most. It's not a test of intelligence - it is a test of pattern recognition and understanding of the structure of arguments. I help you study strategically so that you develop the skills you will need on test day, such as reading critically, inductive and deductive reasoning, and organizing evidence. I lay the foundation for the skills you will need to succeed in law school! I'd work with you to ID what will be most useful to you for test day and shore up weaknesses so you can attack the test with confidence.
I also help craft graduate application essays, supplemental essays, law school application personal statements, and academic papers. I help with ideation, conceptualization, style, grammar, vocabulary, and structure. I guide, support, and help develop craft, de-stressing an often-fraught process.
Feel free to reach out! Happy to chat about where you are on your law school journey.
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, scheduling, and availability on my website. Happy to answer any questions!
I just started studying for the LSAT, and will take it in September. My diagnostic test was a 173, and my second prep test was 168. What's the best way for me to improve my score and my consistency? Does it make sense to go through the entire 7Sage curriculum, or should I skip the basics and just focus on my areas of weakness?
The fact that you even read past "Tung Tung Tung Sahur folk" is pretty funny ngl.

Unlock the secret to acing both Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension! Many test-takers treat these as separate challenges, but the truth is, they're deeply connected. On this episode, we explore why the biggest hurdle in LR often isn't the logic itself, but actually understanding what you read. Plus, we'll show you how to see RC passages as extended LR questions. Ready to transform your approach? Listen in!
I’m currently studying inference and must-be-true questions, but I’m encountering a problem that’s making me spend more time on questions than I should. I’m getting the questions right most of the time, but I feel like I confuse myself when I try to diagram the internal lawgic of the stimulus. Has anyone else encountered this issue while studying?
Hi everyone! I took the LSAT in February and got a 171. My goal was a 174, which is above the medians at the schools I want to apply to, but I was still happy. I was going to take it again in April but my scores went down so I ghosted the test. I haven't studied since. In my practice tests, my average was 172, but I realized that each test I got 7-8 questions wrong, and sometimes I was lucky and that was a 175 or I was unlucky and it was below 170. Does that mean I never really improved? How do I get to a place of consistently scoring less than 7-8 questions wrong per test? Or have I reached my limit? How did people break out of a score they were stuck at? Especially when there is no pattern in the questions I am getting wrong. Thanks! Hope everyone is doing well!
Hello! Looking for someone or some people to start studying for the LSAT. My goal is to take it in November and shooting for around 170-175. I am located in SLC. So excited (and terrified).
when the transfer happens will all the progress that i made on both Preptest and Drills transfer over to the new wesite?
I took a diagnostic a few weeks ago but haven’t taken any full PTs since then. Right now, I’m only partially through the curriculum, I’ve made some progress in the Logical Reasoning section but haven’t touched Reading Comp yet.
I’m tempted to start taking full-length practice tests to begin building endurance and test-day skills, but I’m also worried it might be too early. I don’t want to waste time on PTs if I’d be better off continuing through the lessons first.
When should I start taking full PTs?
On the original site, when I didn't like my performance on a certain drill or when I'd like to drill the same drill again, I would duplicate it. But this duplicating feature doesn't seem to show up in the new site. Will it contain this
I know that being part of and a leader in a community especially in undergraduate studies is something the law school admission bodies like, but Im unsure of whether to not add that I was a member of a fraternity or not. On the pro-keeping it side, I did have leadership roles both formal and informal within the fraternity, and was a part of an organization that enphasized philanthropic work, but on the cons side, being in a fraternity is something that im not sure whether these admissions bodies see negatively or not. On the anti-adding it side, the pro would be that it would be less likely hurt me whether my fraternity gets in trouble in the future or the admissions board is anti-fraternity, but on the cons side of this too, if I omit that I was a part of a fraternity, I dont really have anything else that ties my into a leadership role, member of the community, or a volunteer while in undergraduate life. What do you guys think I should do? Do admissions boards want to see a person add that theyre part of a fraternity or disassociate myself from it now before application time and my senior year commences.
On the old 7Sage, when looking over the question summary it would highlight which parts are the premises and what the conclusion is. Will this feature be added to the new site in the future? Or does it exist on here in the summary and I'm just missing it?
Hey all! I'm struggling with recognizing Argument Parts, I know this is a crucial skill for the LSAT and would love any helpful ideas or tips!
Thanks in advance!
I am new to 7sage, day 3, and have a few questions. I have subscribed to the live plan and wanted to know is there a way to access the chat of a recorded session? I attended the how to prep for the LSAT session over the weekend, is there anyway to access the links that were shared in that chat? Also, for the Study roadmap, the suggestions while completing the core curriculum, are to do the flashcards. Are those a set of flashcards that we make or is there a link for them?
Cornell is currently my first choice and I am planning on applying early decision. My LSAT is at their median score, but my GPA is lower than Cornell's median (I have a 3.81). Will it be easier for an applicant like me to get accepted now that its ratings have dropped? What should I do to improve my chances?

Just took a practice test and proceeded to the Blind Review after.
How representative is the score of the Blind Review to my overall success of taking that PT? Should I expect growth to that score?

There's a lot of information going around about the LSAT...so much that it's often hard to tell what's true and what's not.
