Attentive and invested in your success!
Ashley, 15 lessons with NeilNeil provides his students with everything they need to succeed on the test. I never lacked material to practice with, and was always able to reach out in between sessions for help via email. He even spent time outside of our sessions analyzing my work, defining my trouble areas, and figuring out how to help. This way, I always got the most out of the time we had face to face. Neil distills the information you need to know to do well in a way that you can't find in any LSAT prep book. He...

Very informative and helpful
Enjoyed my first lesson with Neil. We worked on formal logic concepts, and applied them to logic games. I look forward to future lessons!

GMAT Verbal guru
After spending months studying for GMAT verbal, the highest score I was able to get was a V35. However, I knew that I could get a higher Verbal score, and I just needed some expert guidance and coaching to do so. With Neil's help, he broke down Sentence Correction to me in such a way that it went from my most prominent weakness to my greatest strength in GMAT verbal. He also helped me develop a strategy in order to spend less time on Critical Reasoning which was really helpful in the exam. After all, in less than two weeks with Neil, my score went from a V35 to a v41 (94th percentile). He's a great teacher, and you can tell he's very experienced and knows this stuff inside out. His homework was practical and helped me develop quickly. Thank you so much, Neil!

GREAT Tutor.
Neil has the ability to explain things in a way that make the questions look so easy. He was always able to answer any question I had and usually identified where i went wrong right away. I would 100% recommend Neil as your tutor! I did LSAT study with him and I struggled with logical reasoning but now I actually enjoy reading the arguments and have found to find the answer fairly quickly. He has great tips to help you reduce the time you take on each question as well.

Very Knowledgable and Thorough
After reviewing strategies to attack the verbal portion of the GMAT, I feel much more confident tackling this test now more than ever. Neil was able to identify my weaknesses and precisely explain how to properly go about solving CR and RC type questions. I will continue to work with him in preparation for the GMAT. 🤘🏾

Title: GMAT CR - V38 to V46 with only a few sessions!
I contacted Neil after taking the GMAT after doing a Manhattan prep course and getting a 680 (which was the same as the initial official practice test I took before the course). I knew critical reasoning was an area I needed to improve on so we did a few 1-hr sessions in which he expertly broke down logic concepts. Even the most advanced questions seemed straightforward after he explained them! I took the GMAT a few weeks later and scored a 730 (V41 - 94%) after taking an official practice test two days before where I scored a V46 (99%!). Neil is very passionate about logic and also has tons of resources available to send you for practice. He’s also very personable, funny, experienced, and prompt with sending over homework and class notes! If you’re looking to improve your logic/critical reasoning for the LSAT or GMAT, I would highly, highly recommend Neil. Even just a few sessions and you’ll improve by a lot - I promise!

Accommodating and patient tutor
Neil broke down logic games to their core -- we spent lots of time reviewing formal logic (if/then statements) because it took me a while to understand those. During our sessions, he re-explained concepts in more than one way, so that I could confidently approach similar questions. Neil did a phenomenal job at explaining logic game diagrams -- also something that I struggled with. He helped me identify patterns within questions so that I knew how to answer them from the start. Neil gave me a good amount of practice questions to work on in between sessions. I started working with Neil at the beginning of my LSAT practice where I was getting around 1 out of 7 logic game questions correct. Halfway through working with him, I can confidently say I am getting around 5-7 questions right per game. Can't wait to continue working with him!

Awesome GMAT Verbal Tutor
worked with Neil on Logic and Grammar. I can't recommended him enough. He has helped me significantly with Grammar. We worked slowly from the ground up, learning what is the bare minimum of a sentence. Neil then taught the more challenging rules. For Logic/Critical Reasoning, Neil and I worked on all of the question types. Explaining clearly what the question is asking, then what to do.
