LSAT Tutor, 93rd Percentile | Fordham Law JD

Marc A.

When I first took an LSAT diagnostic, I did poorly. My initial test prep course didn’t help either. I later learned an entirely different, more effective approach, and everything changed: I scored in the 93rd percentile officially, with practice scores on real, previously administered LSATs under timed conditions that climbed well past that — regularly above 170, including two 179s — earning me merit scholarships to both USC Law and Fordham Law, where I completed my JD.

I didn’t start as a naturally gifted test-taker. I started where many of my students do — frustrated, unsure why this test felt so different from every other exam they’d taken. There’s no shortage of bad advice out there about how to tackle the LSAT, and my first course was proof of that. What actually turned things around was a specific, methodical approach — not a bag of tricks, not raw talent — and that’s exactly what I teach my students directly.

I offer one-on-one LSAT prep covering Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, building real command of the test’s underlying logic — how conditional reasoning works, how each question type is actually testing you, how to read with intention instead of speed alone — rather than surface-level tricks that fall apart under pressure. I tailor every session to what’s specifically holding a student’s score back, whether that’s pacing, a particular question type, or shaky reasoning fundamentals quietly capping every section.

The LSAT is a marathon, not a sprint. Beyond strategy, I coach students through the mental side of the test — building the confidence and steadiness to perform under pressure, stay consistent through a long study timeline, and walk into test day trusting their preparation.

I also tutor writing — school application essays, personal statements, and general academic writing — drawing on my background as a magna cum laude NYU literature graduate.

If you’re just starting out or you’ve hit a frustrating plateau, I can help. I’ve been at both places myself.
