The Tutor I Always Wish I Had

Timothy S.

LSAT / / Life-changing Tutor

Some rock solid numbers: from the mid 150s on my first practice test all the way to a score in the high 170s on the actual exam. I could not have achieved my score without Tim. Before starting our lessons, I had been studying for the LSAT for over a year, and plateaued in the mid to high 160s. I believed that I had a higher score in me, but that I would need the help of someone extraordinary to get me there. I had worked with several tutors before - I found lessons with them to be more of an impersonal transaction and less of a comfortable learning environment. The moment I talked to Tim over the phone for a consultation, I knew he was different. He listened as I told him about my problem areas, and together we came to the conclusion that, as a result of learning standard LSAT hacks, I had learned shortcuts that were impeding my true understanding of the material. Soon we began focusing on the unlearning of these bad habits, as well as the breaking down of games, LR questions, and passages. He made me look at the material in a way that made it accessible to me (a non-native English speaker), and he even made it fun. Most of all, Tim became my biggest cheerleader. He gave me something that can't be found in impersonalized programs: confidence. That, coupled with Tim's mastery of the material, passion for teaching, and creative teaching skills, gave me my score. For anyone seeking a life-changing tutor, I recommend Tim a thousand times over, and am forever grateful to him for the skills he gave me, which I will carry with me to law school and beyond.

A Perceptive Educator

Tim is not just the best tutor I’ve ever had, but the best educator. His raw intelligence and extremely thorough understanding of the LSAT provide valuable backing to his lessons. More importantly, however, he is able to identify the mental blocks and shortcomings of confidence unique to each student. I left my weekly lessons with Tim feeling like I had not only improved my understanding of the test, but also like I had improved my understanding of how I learn and solve problems. It made me feel reinvigorated to tackle practice sets in the following week such that studying for the LSAT didn’t feel like a slog. Taking lessons with Tim has proved invaluable: not just because he helped me vastly improve my score, but because I honestly feel like he has taught me to rewire how I think and learn. Not to mention, he is a great person to be around. Studying for the LSAT takes a lot of hours, and spending them with someone as easygoing as Tim makes it enjoyable. Another reviewer mentioned that choosing Tim as a tutor may have been the best decision they made in their academic career, and I can’t agree more.

Thoughtful tutor with a unique way of teaching

Tim was a great tutor. We tackled problem areas I had on the LSAT once a week over the summer. He helped me think about questions that were giving me difficulty in completely new ways. I don't think I could have gotten that from any LSAT book out there, and he made the test much less daunting for me. Questions I used to consistently get wrong became pieces of cake. He's also great at instilling confidence and calmness in his students, and I had no nerves going into my test thanks to his firm, reassuring, and special tutoring style. Every session with Tim made a difference, and he made me a smarter thinker and test taker.

Patient and Helpful

I took the LSAT once and wanted a higher score and had a huge weakness in logic games. After a few sessions with Timothy, logic games are my favorite part of the LSAT! He responds to messages quickly, is not condescending, and enabled me to walk into my second LSAT today confidently. It felt completely different than the first time I took it! Slay, Timothy. Would recommend.

Great and insightful

Tim is always great at helping you see exactly what your flaws are, the pattern of mistakes you are making, and helping you correct them. If you are committed to doing the work, his help will get you very far.

Who I wish I had started LSAT studying with.

Tim is a fantastic tutor all around. I came to him after jumping through the Princeton Review LSAT class. I was down because I had worked so hard and spent so much money; seeing very little improvement. Tim immediately turned my mindset around. With a little work, focusing on a change in my thought processes, Tim helped me reach section scores of 23/25. As a teacher he is extremely inspiring, honest, and motivational. I looked forward to our sessions every week. Thanks, Tim.

More than just a tutor - the coach you need!

Tim is more than just a tutor! A tutor must have comprehensive knowledge of their subject matter, and Tim does have a deep and nuanced understanding of the LSAT on every level. But he brings even more to the table beyond the vast intellect that allows him to correctly answer any question thrown at him. Tim is able to assess his students’ abilities efficiently and effectively. He sees individual questions that you missed as part of a larger picture of your overall abilities, and can use them to identify how you can improve overall. Imagine him as the doctor who cures your disease instead of slapping band-aids on the symptoms, and you’ll understand why he can improve your outcomes so dramatically. I came to think of Tim as a coach for this reason, and for another central tenet of his tutoring approach: he will help build up your abilities AND your confidence in your abilities, so that when the time comes to perform under pressure, you don’t doubt yourself. No matter where your journey starts, Tim can identify your natural strengths and weaknesses, and help you amplify those strengths, while addressing underlying issues to turn weaknesses into strengths. You’ll gain all the theoretical knowledge you need to succeed, and the confidence you need to turn that theory into practical results on the big day. Looking to land among the stars on your next test? Look no further. Tim is the coach you need.
