LSAT & SAT Help | Princeton/Harvard Law Admit | 177 LSAT 1580 SAT

Vinayak M.

Hello, I'm currently an undergraduate at Princeton University studying Public and International Affairs, and I am also a recent admit at Harvard Law School. Standardized testing has been a consistent strength for me: I scored a 177 on the LSAT (taken in September 2025) and a 1580 on the SAT. More than the numbers themselves, what I want to share with students is the process behind them, since it's a process that can be learned and repeated rather than something you either have or don't.

My tutoring experience comes from several years of volunteer work and mentorship, during which I've worked one-on-one with students and peers ranging from middle school to the college level. That experience spans helping younger students build foundational reading and math skills to coaching debaters preparing for major competitions. Across all of these settings, I've found that the most effective tutoring isn't about repetition, but about giving a student the specific tools, patterns, and mental frameworks that let them work smarter rather than harder.

I tutor the LSAT, the SAT (Reading, Writing, and Math), and also help students brainstorm and write essays for college or law school admissions. For the LSAT, I've developed targeted strategies for each passage type in Reading Comprehension and each question type in Logical Reasoning, from sharpening conditional reasoning to quickly identifying a passage's core thesis. For the SAT, I teach mental math shortcuts to speed up the Math section, along with a repeatable approach to finding the core point of Reading and Writing passages efficiently.

If you're interested in working together, I'd love to hear about your current score, your goal score, your planned test date, any materials you've already used to study, and the specific sections or question types giving you the most trouble. From there, we can build a plan tailored to exactly what you need.
