About Bob


Bio

My mission is to help create attorneys, starting with success on the LSAT.

After earning my Master’s at Indiana University, I was hired as a teacher and course developer by the founder of Kaplan Inc. For 20 years I ran Kaplan’s entire LSAT course: lessons, test explanations, and homework. I’ve taken the test numerous times, achieving perfect scores on more than one occasion.

Along the way, I became a five-time undefeated champ on Jeopardy! and won the Tournament of Champions. Everything...

My mission is to help create attorneys, starting with success on the LSAT.

After earning my Master’s at Indiana University, I was hired as a teacher and course developer by the founder of Kaplan Inc. For 20 years I ran Kaplan’s entire LSAT course: lessons, test explanations, and homework. I’ve taken the test numerous times, achieving perfect scores on more than one occasion.

Along the way, I became a five-time undefeated champ on Jeopardy! and won the Tournament of Champions. Everything that allowed me to perform under pressure, I’ve turned into advice on crushing the LSAT.

Besides several visits to the LSAT offices in Newtown, I’ve attended over 70 professional pre-law events as a peer of law school deans and admissions officers. There, I found out exactly what law schools are looking for. As a personal statement editor and admissions consultant, I’ve placed hundreds of clients in their first-choice law schools.

Now I am in private practice, helping aspiring lawyers one success story at a time. My approach to the LSAT is unique, founded on decades of experience and years of experimentation. There’s nothing about succeeding on the LSAT that I don’t know, and it remains a thrill to pass on what I know to students, so as to make their dreams a reality.

Great tutor, worth every penny.

Bob tutored me for the LSAT for about 4 months and during that time he helped me develop a complete and thorough understanding of the test. Before studying with Bob I scored a 158/180 on the LSAT but after working with Bob I improved almost 20 points and scored a 176/180; a feat I attribute in no small part to Bobs mastery of this test and his ability to teach this mastery to others. I highly recommend working with Bob and am confident that you will see tremendous growth during your time with him.

Great investment

Working with bob has been a fun and productive usage of my time. He is very knowledgeable and has helped me greatly with my LSAT preparations. As I continue to prepare, I have become more and more aware of how good of an investment working with Bob as been (both time and money). For the right student (engaged and motivated), Bob should be a great fit.

Incredible guide!

Bob is an incredible tutor with his straight-forward approach to the test. I found that at the stage in my studying, his sage advice about how to prioritize skill-building and a clear mindset was very useful. I really appreciated his ability to treat the test as conquerable, and his words will definitely help me in life as well. Thanks, Bob!

Very knowledgeable and helpful

There are many tutors out there. However, my mother insisted from reading Bob’s background that he would be the right fit for me. She is right and I just started my first lesson with Bob. He is direct, knowledgeable and friendly. I will continue to work with Bob. Highly recommend Bob.
