LSAT 168 | Real Attorney | JPMorgan, Federal Investigations

Michael G.

I scored a 168 on the LSAT, 96th percentile. I went to law school and then actually practiced law. That last part matters more than you might think.
I spent four years as a financial services attorney. At JPMorgan I was a Vice President handling the bank's responses to federal investigations. Before that I was Associate General Counsel of a futures division. The logical reasoning the LSAT tests is not an abstract puzzle to me. Spotting the flaw in an argument, finding the unstated assumption, reading a dense passage fast and knowing what matters: that was my job for years. I can teach it because I lived it.
I also tutor the ACT. I scored a 34 on Math and 31 on Reading and Science, and I taught ACT prep and math to high school students through Tulane's Upward Bound program. That taught me how to break a section down for a student who is stuck, not just explain it the way it already made sense to me. Math is where most students leave the easiest points on the table, and it is the most fixable once you see the patterns the test repeats.
Here is how I tutor, on either test. We start with a diagnostic so I know exactly where your points are leaking, then drill the specific question types costing you, not a generic curriculum. Reading improves the same way on both exams: not by reading more, but by reading differently. Every few weeks we retest, so progress is measured, not assumed.
I am direct. If your timing is the problem, I will say so. If you are ready for test day, I will say that too. You are paying for an honest assessment and a plan, not just encouragement.
For LSAT students: beyond the score, I can tell you what law school and practice are actually like, which parts of your applications matter, and whether the path you picture matches the one that exists. Most tutors can get you points. Few have sat in the rooms you are trying to get into.
Let's find your points. Message me and we will set up a diagnostic.
