In desperate need of tutoring

If anyone is or knows a tutor who would be willing to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Any sort of pricing is fine with me, as I have saved up a reasonable amount in preparation for a moment such as this.

I have been studying LSAT in general for more than a year and a half now and at least feel that I have a sound understanding of how LG works, but I have become inconsistent in my daily studies. I have been trying to get to the point where I know I can tackle most logic games in time, and reliably only miss a maximum of 4-5 on each LG section I take, but that has not been the case thus far. Like I said, I feel I have a sound understanding of how games work, it just seems that whenever one is put in front of me, I don't deliver. I do understand that not being consistent enough is very detrimental in LG especially, but I have been trying to recover from a crazy semester and let my mind be at ease. With that being said, I am ready to get back at every day consistency and am looking to score in the high 150s to the low 160s, so mastering LG would be huge for that score. Any help or referrals are greatly appreciated and everyone have a great end of the year.

    Give me a call. I'll DM my number. I want to see if I can diagnose any glaring issues and adjust your trajectory a bit before you start dumping money into a tutor. While this site is a great community, it's also open access, so just like say on reddit, if you just put yourself out there saying "someone come take my money" you need to be very careful about vetting a paid tutor.

    Just because someone says they can help you doesn't mean they can.
    Scoring well on this test doesn't mean you can teach it.
    Teaching this test doesn't mean you can teach it well to a specific person.
    A good tutor is a smart investment. Everyone knows that which is why people try to pass themselves off as good tutors... especially in these times of economic hardship/uncertainty.

    At the very least I can make sure you know what you should expect to get from a good tutor. Its the wild west and short of going with a vetted company (sometimes even then) anything can happen. I've seen too many people pay hundreds of dollars just to find they dont work well with a recommended tutor, or that they end up just running drills they could have done on their own... or worse, that the "tutor" was just full of shit.

    @shannon_beaman1 I agree with everything @canihazJD said. Definitely take him up on that offer first.
