Engineer with 173 LSAT - No Nonsense Test Prep

Kaden C.

I scored a 173 on the LSAT with perfect reading comprehension, and I teach the test the way I approached it: as a problem to be solved efficiently, not a philosophy course. I have a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Montana State, and I now run my own custom fabrication business in Alaska. My engineering background shapes my tutoring approach; I treat the LSAT as a system to be solved and optimized instead of as an ineffable mystery.

I was a professional tutor in college for writing and math, at the university tutoring center for 3 years, and I've used that experience when jumping into being an LSAT tutor. I've spent the past two months tutoring, focusing on LSAT preparation for college graduates and working professionals aiming for top-tier law schools. In one-on-one session, we work through practice tests together, I model my thought process on difficult questions, and I target whatever they're struggling with.

My approach is straightforward. I focus on pattern recognition over memorization, on trusting your intuition when it's properly calibrated, and on optimizing everything that affects performance. That includes the stuff most tutors ignore, like how much caffeine you should drink and when, or how to pace yourself so you're not burned out by section three. I don't teach 47 types of logical fallacies because you don't need them; you need to recognize what the test is actually asking for and eliminate wrong answers quickly. One student I've worked with has gone from 151 to 163 in practice tests by cutting out unnecessary frameworks and drilling what actually matters. The LSAT is a problem to solve and I'll teach you to approach it like an engineer: methodically, intelligently, and with measurable improvement, so that you can get the score you need for the school you want.
