About Peter


Bio

I've taught the LSAT and GMAT since 1995. My teaching experience is what sets me apart from other tutors. Nothing can substitute for the know-how that comes from year after year after year of working with all kinds of students on every part of the test. I communicate dynamically and effectively to help you learn the substance and the skills to succeed on test day.

No matter how you feel now about the process of studying for the test, you'll probably end up enjoying it more than you...

I've taught the LSAT and GMAT since 1995. My teaching experience is what sets me apart from other tutors. Nothing can substitute for the know-how that comes from year after year after year of working with all kinds of students on every part of the test. I communicate dynamically and effectively to help you learn the substance and the skills to succeed on test day.

No matter how you feel now about the process of studying for the test, you'll probably end up enjoying it more than you thought you would.

But you don't need to take my word for it. On request, I'll put you in touch with current or past students of mine, and you can ask them anything you want about what it's like to work with me.

At the first lesson, I let new students try me out, free of charge, no strings attached. I don't do this because I'm such a nice person; I do it because I've found it to be an effective business practice. You'll see for yourself that I'm the right choice to help you achieve your goals on the test.

GMAT

GMAT

I've helped students get better at the GMAT for three decades, from all starting points. I've taught people starting at 200, at mid 700s, and everything in between. Whatever the skills you need to improve, I know how to help you achieve that improvement and maybe even enjoy the process a little more than you thought you would.
LSAT

LSAT

I've taught the LSAT since 1995. After a couple of decades of that, I went back to school, earning a law degree and passing the California Bar Exam in 2019, but the following year's pandemic forced some tough decisions, and I chose to go back to my true love, teaching. In addition to being very good at teaching you the LSAT, I understand the larger context of which it's a part, including what you'll be doing next, next, and next, after the LSAT.

The best LSAT tutor around

Peter is the best LSAT tutor around. When I came to him, I was using a popular, canned LSAT curriculum online. I was losing progress despite hours of daily studying. Once I started working with him, I saw substantial progress week after week. His lessons are easy to understand, and incredibly useful. Peter is also a true professional. Each meeting is well planned out to make the most of your time. In every single session, I felt as though I received a top quality product. His 30 or so years of experience will be instantly evident upon first meeting him. Peter is consistent, punctual, likable, and (most importantly) THE BEST LSAT TUTOR AROUND.

Great Tutor

Peter was a pleasure to work with. I trained with him for the LSAT for a few months and it was definitely worth it. He went through every problem and thoroughly explain how to do it. I also enjoyed all the homework and gave me and felt like it helped me a lot in my process. I will definitely be reaching out to Peter again if I need more help or for admissions as well.

Super knowledgeable and experienced GMAT tutor who helped with my focus areas

Peter was an amazing tutor who helped me achieve my goals for a high score on the GMAT extremely quickly. I only had two weeks to improve my Quant and Data Insights from the 64th and 69th percentile, and Peter's help on those sections helped me raise those to the 80th and 89th percentile respectively. He was extremely patient every session and conveyed a lot of information and tricks to help game some of the harder parts of the test and allowed me to absorb information in a faster way. If Peter was able to teach me this much in only a short time span of two weeks, he can help anyone with anything they would need to learn for the GMAT.

Extremely Helpful and Patient LSAT Tutor

Before studying with Peter, I had no understanding of conditional reasoning, diagramming, question types, and many of the concepts tested on the LSAT. As a result, I was often confused with a large number of Logical Reasoning questions and Reading Comprehension passages. I was relying on another LSAT tutoring online platform, and failing to grasp the material tested on the LSAT based on their explanations. Peter patiently taught me the fundamentals of conditional logic, diagramming, and key concepts for LR and RC questions, including flaws, assumptions, the author’s attitude, and inferences questions. He helped me understand how different question types work and provided a clear framework for how to approach each question and chose the correct answer choice. Whenever I was confused by a question, he took the time to explain it thoroughly and in a way that helped me fully understand why the correct answer was right and why the other choices were wrong. He provided me with the resources and knowledge that I was crucially missing. His tutoring completely transformed my approach to the LSAT. Thanks to his instruction, the number of questions I missed on both the Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections dropped dramatically. Using the skills and knowledge he taught me, I repeatedly got no questions wrong on my LR and RC sections. Overall, I found Peter to be incredibly helpful in providing a clear explanations of the conceptual concepts needed to succeed on the LSAT. I highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for an LSAT tutor.

Experienced and Helpful tutor

Peter was immensely helpful. He is very knowledgeable and his experience with the test shows. His policies are straighforward, and his sessions go right into the matierial. His diagnosis of my personal struggles with the exam were key in my improvement.

Peter is worth the extra money!

I chose Peter after reading his reviews, and I’m so glad I did. After our very first session, I knew he was worth every dollar. I had considered going with a cheaper tutor because money was tight, but once I spoke with him, I knew I had to find a way to make it work. Before working with Peter, I struggled to finish sections in under 35 minutes and consistently missed around 10 or more questions per section. After just a few weeks with him, I’m now averaging 1–4 missed questions per section while still finishing within the time limit. His advice, strategies, and skill set completely transformed the way I approach each question and read answer choices. I couldn’t have asked for a better tutor.

LSAT Guru

Working with Peter was the best decision I made during my LSAT prep. I had done a fair amount of self-study before finding him, but working with Peter compared to on my own was night and day. He assigns practice tests and caters lessons targeted to strengthen specific areas of difficulty. Peter was able to pinpoint subtle errors that were holding me back, even when I thought I knew the material well. This vastly improved my understanding of the LSAT and made all the difference in my improvement. His teaching style is also engaging and humorous which makes learning difficult LSAT material accessible. Every session felt purposeful, and I always left feeling like I had made progress. After working consistently with Peter, my practice test scores climbed steadily, and I ultimately reached the range I’d been aiming for. If you’re serious about reaching your potential on the LSAT, Peter is the person to work with!

Excellent tutor!

Working with Peter as my LSAT tutor was a great choice! He is knowledgeable, thorough, and was very helpful when I was trying to locate my weak spots. He uses fun examples to help key concepts stay top of mind, and was accessible whenever I needed extra support. If you feel stuck in a certain score range, or can't seem to grasp the basics, definitely consider some lessons with him! I'm so happy with my score and could not have achieved this without him.

Amazing GMAT Tutor

I came to Peter for help in the new GMAT Focus Quant and Data sufficiency sections. Right off the bat he had a very structured approach to both. He taught me basics of how to think about data sufficiency questions and certain fundamental concepts about how to approach quant, as opposed to the very haphazard way I was approaching them. For the GMAT, it's rarely the raw concepts that are hard to master, and its more about how to reason through simple concepts that are presented in convoluted ways, and Peter helped me with that. Peter was patient and took his time and helped me methodically build up my skillset and confidence. I had a great learning experience with him and couldn't recommend him more.

Enthusiastic and knowledgeable

Peter and I have been working on the LSAT reading comprehension for a few weeks now, and I am very glad I chose him. What sets him apart from other tutors is his teaching style, which is dynamic and enthusiastic, and he makes the lessons and the readings enjoyable and even funny. I have met with numerous other tutors for this subject, within all price ranges, and it is noticeable how his teaching style is different and easier to digest. We've only had a few lessons, and I can already see the test starting to click and make sense. He has the answers to the questions that you have, and I couldn't recommend him enough.
