Amazing tutor for the LSAT!

Lars was an amazing tutor for the LSAT. He was patient in explaining logical structures and I appreciated his methodical approach to answering complex questions. He emphasized solving questions “the right way” rather than shortcuts that don’t always work. With his help, I received a 175 on my most recent LSAT. Thank you Lars!

Knowledgeable, Supportive Tutor!

Before tutoring, I scored 150 on a diagnostic test, and over the next three months, I didn't improve. In fact, my score dropped by 3 points. My confidence was shaken, and I knew I needed a tutor. After reading several reviews, I decided to reach out to Lars. After 6 meetings, I was PT-ing in the low to mid 160s, and only improving from there. Lars is a knowledgeable tutor who makes the LSAT feel like a less intimidating monster to tackle and is supportive throughout the entire process. He has a unique approach to the LSAT (both in LR and RC) that makes challenging questions easier to tackle. If you are looking for a tutor who is a great communicator, a supportive figure throughout this stressful process, and who creates a specialized curriculum to meet your needs, Lars is the guy for you!

Great tutor with amazing strategies

I chose Lars as my LSAT tutor because of his extensive background as both a professor and a tutor, and he exceeded my expectations. Lars did an exceptional job helping me grasp Reading Comprehension, particularly in understanding the underlying structure of passages. We spent several hours dissecting texts, analyzing arguments, and developing strategies to answer questions more efficiently and accurately. We also dedicated time to Logical Reasoning, where Lars helped me strengthen my grasp of argument structure by identifying premises, conclusions, and how they interact within answer choices. His clear explanations and step-by-step approach made complex concepts feel manageable. Overall, I would highly recommend Lars as an LSAT tutor. He makes learning engaging, insightful, and even enjoyable, turning a challenging test into a rewarding learning experience.

10/10 Tutor

I reached out to Lars 2 weeks before my LSAT and we met about every other day. I really appreciated his willingness to work with me on such a short time frame and so consistently. He truly does teach a different, innovative point of view in tackling logical reasoning questions, I'm sure due to his PhD in Logic. Within the last 2 weeks, I went from anxiously dreading my next LSAT to excitedly anticipating the opportunity to show off my new skills. Although at first hesitant to get an individual tutor due to the high price tag, Lars was 100% worth it and I am so glad I studied with him. Not to mention his kind, supportive, and patient demeanor also contributes to his being a great tutor. Thanks Lars!

Knowledgeable and Amazing Tutor

After taking the LSAT two times through self-studying I felt stuck in that I didn't know how to improve on my own. I found Lars and explained to him my situation and he gave me a new way to think about the test. He made things easy to understand and thoroughly cared about making progress. His techniques have made my practice test go up more than 10 points and would recommend anyone taking the test to start with his framework, which is what I wish I would've done!

Great Tutor!

I was apprehensive about tutoring at first, and decided to begin meeting with Lars. I felt behind with regards to LSAT preparation and the vast amount of study resources available. Lars was a great tutor and walked me through an LSAT “boot camp.” We were able to cover all pertinent material in a short time, and I felt very confident in my abilities on exam day. I appreciated Lars’ traditional logic approach and his ability to break down information while presenting it in an engaging, palatable manner. I believe his logic and reading comp. knowledge is just as applicable to day-to-day life as it is the LSAT. I highly recommend Lars if you’re feeling overwhelmed about the LSAT and value organized one-on-one instruction. Thanks, Lars!

Incredible LSAT tutor - Transformed my approach to logical reasoning

Lars's approach as a logician to the LSAT is both unique and effective. I started out feeling frustrated, with stagnated practice test scores and juggling complicated strategies from other prep materials. In a matter of weeks, I had my first 170+ on a practice test. Lars's strategies to logical reasoning were approachable, clear, and quickly became second nature. As a result, I entered the August LSAT with a greater degree of confidence and much improved accuracy. I couldn't recommend Lars enough!

Incredible LSAT Tutor – Truly Transformational Experience

I’ve been working with Lars since November to prepare for the LSAT, and I can confidently say that he’s the best tutor I’ve ever worked with. His deep understanding of the test, combined with his clear explanations and structured approach, have helped me grow tremendously in both confidence and performance. Lars doesn’t just teach the material — he teaches how to think like the LSAT test makers. He tailored each session to focus on my specific areas of weakness and has an incredible ability to break down complex logical reasoning problems in a way that makes them manageable. Thanks to Lars, I’ve seen measurable improvement in my understanding of the LSAT. If you’re serious about doing well on the LSAT, I couldn’t recommend him more.

Master of the LSAT

Working with Lars completely changed the way I approached the LSAT. I came in feeling stuck and frustrated, averaging in the high 150s, but over just 5 weeks, Lars helped me build real confidence by breaking things down clearly and helping me see patterns I hadn’t noticed before. Lars has his own unique method that makes the LSAT way simpler and more approachable. He’s really smart, patient, has a great sense of humor, and genuinely cares. He took me through a structured lesson pathway, almost like a mini course, but he always tailored our sessions to exactly what I needed, and it made a huge difference. My score jumped into the low 170s, and I honestly couldn't have done it without him.

Charismatic and Knowledgeable

I initially thought I knew where I was struggling with the LSAT, but Lars quickly helped me realize how crucial a solid foundation in Logical Reasoning (LR) is. I came in seeking help with Reading Comprehension (RC), but the LR guidance I received ended up being exactly what I needed to improve in both areas. Lars’s insights were incredibly valuable, and by the time I took the LSAT, I felt much more confident and at ease compared to my previous attempts. He was not only insightful but also patient, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better tutor!
