About Ari


Bio

I have spent the past seven years guiding hundreds of students through every phase of the college admissions process, from standardized test prep, through developing standout extracurriculars, all the way to brainstorming and editing college essays. My students have gained admission to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Cornell. I completely believe that you can get there too.

I have spent the past seven years guiding hundreds of students through every phase of the college admissions process, from standardized test prep, through developing standout extracurriculars, all the way to brainstorming and editing college essays. My students have gained admission to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Cornell. I completely believe that you can get there too.

I personally scored a 174 on the LSAT, a 2220 when I sat the SAT in high school, and I consistently score a 35+ when taking official ACT diagnostics. My students see an on average 30% bump to their score between initial diagnostic and final exam. How? These tests are learnable and beatable. So, let's do that.

Outside of test prep and college admissions, I'm obsessed with songwriting, meditation, yoga, and studying foreign languages.

If we sound like a good fit, don't hesitate to reach out! I'd love to help you reach your goals.

LSAT

LSAT

I personally scored a 174 on the LSAT through self-studying, after getting a 166 my first time around. I developed my own set of strategies that do not utilize diagramming, and instead focus on pattern recognition, innovative self-dialogue, and fundamental understanding of the "action" of each question. My test prep students have gained admission to Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Cornell. My students also see an on average 30% bump to their score between initial diagnostic and final exam. How? These tests are learnable and beatable. So, let's do that.

Strategic and Personalized Approach

Ari has a deep understanding of the exam and does an incredible job structuring lesson plans in a way that feels both strategic and personalized. Each session is focused and efficient, as he knows exactly how to hone in on the concepts that need the most attention and breaks them down in an approachable way. What sets him apart is how intentional he is about building a strong foundation before diving into more complex material. He’s also great at identifying patterns in mistakes and turning them into learning opportunities. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about improving their LSAT score.

Careful tutor with an ear for student needs!

From the beginning Ari took the time to unpack my learning style and makes a conscious effort to structure my learning in a way that makes sense to me. He allows his students time to process and ask questions, and dives deep beyond the surface to build strong foundations. I appreciate how working with Ari feels like teamwork, rather than just being taught/ instructed. He is a great tutor who cares a lot about meeting the individual need of each of his students, and approaches every lesson with a bright and positive attitude!
