Hi! I’m Olivia — I scored 165+ on the LSAT and have studied the exam for 3 years. I specialize in strategy-based tutoring that helps students think like the test makers. My goal isn’t endless drilling — it’s showing you how to predict LSAT logic so you study smarter and score higher.Over the past few years, I’ve immersed myself in the law school admissions process, scoring in the 82nd percentile on my first test. As a strictly self-studied test taker, I’ve developed an effective and personalized approach to LSAT mastery that I now bring to my tutoring.

I believe the LSAT is not about innate talent but about structured thinking and strategic practice. My goal is to make logic feel intuitive and achievable, transforming what can feel like an intimidating test into a set of clear, learnable skills. Whether you’re starting fresh or aiming for a score boost, I’ll meet you where you are and help you reach your full potential on test day.

Fantastic Tutor - Highly Recommend!

After one session with Olivia, I can already see a huge improvement in my studying. I was in a bit of a block and her explanations of the testing strategy were so helpful in my studying breakthrough and made a lot of sense! She is very patient and the lesson was super well planned and catered to what I was focused on. She did a great job of adapting her lesson to me and was very personable. Can't recommend enough!!
