Don is the Best
I came to Don for help on maximizing my LSAT score. He provided me with the skills, methods, and tips that allowed me to excel on the day of my test. Don's patience and understanding is what sets him apart. He is able to accurately diagnose the flaws in your thinking process which result in immediate improvements. I owe much of my success to Don and his help. I have since secured a full tuition Dean's Merit Scholarship to a top school of my choice, and I expect to receive more positive results as decisions roll in. Thanks for all your help Don!
Vaughn, 29 lessons with DonaldTutor responded:Vaughn paid superb attention and worked hard to prepare for the LSAT and by doing so developed remarkable mastery. I expect that any law school he applied to will be doing whatever it takes to attract his tremendous ability to learn and work hard.

Can't ask for a better mentor like Don
I was extremely privileged and fortunate to have Don as my mentor for my college application to Columbia University where I was accepted to. Don thoroughly crafted a personalized plan for me to approach college admission smartly. He recognized my strengths and qualities, and inspired me to maximize the shine of these qualities in the expression of writing. Don's passion in helping others goes beyond the scope, and the results simply speak for themselves. Unlike many other college counselors, Don truly cares about his students and their future. Don did research on the school and program that I was applying to, and made sure that it was not only the right fit, but also the place where I would be thriving and happy. Don knows how to demonstrate a convincing case to colleges that the student is who they are looking for. During my sessions with Don, I gained nothing but true help and guidance to succeed not only in college admission but also in life. Don's compassion, wisdom, and incredible generosity in helping others inspire me to become a better individual everyday. He truly changed my life! I can't thank Don enough.

Patient
Don understands students' needs and patiently teaches to those needs. Aside from the LSAT tutoring, Don helped me obtain the confidence to switch careers and succeed in law school. The journey is not just about the LSAT. Don adds immeasurable value for that part of the process.

Incredible Tutor, Incredible ROI
There is no doubt in my mind that without Don's help on my LSAT, my score would have been much lower. He has a rare level of intelligence which lets him design test taking strategies based off of your own way of thinking. To say he is worth the investment would be an extreme understatement. As a result of working with Don, I gained knowledge and know-how (not just about the LSAT) which will improve my life for years to come. I am incredibly thankful to have met and worked with Don.

Great session!
I did one session with Don and already learned a bunch of strategies that will surely help me. His understanding and true passion for education goes along way. If you can afford it, I would 100% recommend Don.

Master Tutor
Don very quickly sized up my 13 year old son, and came up with a clear strategy to help him not only accomplish his SSAT goals but also do better as a student at school. He strikes exactly the right tone and I can readily imagine that his tone is tailored for each individual learner with whom he works. I believe my son will learn much more efficiently with Don than he would in an SSAT course, so time and attitude saved giving good luck a chance to happen.

Donald is very knowledgeable with clear explanation!
Mr. Donald M. has diagnosed the possible causes of errors and slowness in the diagnostic test, which is very helpful! Thank you so much for your help, Donald!
Nancy, 10 lessons with DonaldTutor responded:I assisted Nancy's daughter in evaluating her effectiveness in taking the SAT Literature subject test. During the lesson, she paid close attention and soaked up new learning very rapidly. I was very impressed by her ability to learn.
The dedicated journey to success
Once you embark on the LSAT and law school journey, you will understand the time, effort, dedication and persistence that needs to go into the process. However, an experience I would only recommend going about with Don. I am no stranger to school and all that it entails, I am currently working towards a dual graduate degree in Chicago and imagined that preparing for my next leg of education would follow a similar process. Rather, after scoring in the low 130's on a diagnostic LSAT I was crushed, discouraged, even embarrassed because who would want to work with someone with such low score? Was there any hope? I knew that with my schedule I needed an online tutor - which I was skeptical about, because being a student you are used to having hands on experience. Moreover, I came across Don's profile and without even a second guess knew that he was the tutor for me. His biography resonated with me and what I was looking for. I Instantly reached out and we hit the ground running within a few days. Don is the most supportive, tentative and receptive educator I have ever had the honor and privilege of working with. From day one he got to know me as a person, who I was, what my history was like in order to have a better understanding of my mind and how it works. The open and honest environment he provides allows you, as a student, to ask questions, adjust strategies that aren't working and continue to make progress all at once. The remarkable thing is that this is all happening online, I am receiving the most eye opening experience through Skype, something I never imagined. I started my first lesson with Don at the end of January and will take my LSAT in early June. With the time that has progressed I am currently scoring at the 170's (WOW - my thoughts exactly). Never in my wildest dreams did I picture an improve such as this. However, it is countless hours of practice on my behalf - but Don is the number one reason for this success. He showed me that it was okay to make mistakes along the way (this is normal!), that it was going to be an up hill battle for improvement, but a journey we would take together due to it being an exam that is very different from most standardized test. Don is there every step of the way, through the successful times and setbacks, he will be your biggest advocate, while giving you the straight forward opinion you need to push forward. It is hard to put into words the amount of respect and appreciation I have for Don. He sees each of his students as a bright and worthy person, not a number and wants them to achieve that personal satisfaction they are looking to seek. I look forward to each of my lessons with Don because I know I am walking into an environment that is going to provide me with the foundation I need to grow and develop. If you are looking for someone who wants you to succeed just as much as you do - Don is for you. You will get everything you can expect and more from your time with Don, I will promise you that. So, Don, thank you for being such an influential light on this experience for me - for that I am unconditionally thankful.

Don is really helping me get better at answering questions as well as giving me the confidence I need. He provides great feedback and is able to show me minor tweaks in my test strategies. I have learned a lot from him so far and thankful for his help.
