Bio

I've helped hundreds of clients raise their LSAT scores and get into the law schools of their dreams (Ivy Leagues, T14, you name it).

My method is all about simplifying the LSAT, and many of my students improve by 3-5 points after just 1 lesson.

During our first lesson, I'll give you a customized study schedule so you'll know exactly what you have to do to see quick results.

I've helped hundreds of clients raise their LSAT scores and get into the law schools of their dreams (Ivy Leagues, T14, you name it).

My method is all about simplifying the LSAT, and many of my students improve by 3-5 points after just 1 lesson.

During our first lesson, I'll give you a customized study schedule so you'll know exactly what you have to do to see quick results.

Here are the key principles of my method and why it works so well, and how I'm able to get so many people into the 99th percentile:

1) Simplicity - no fancy techniques...all I have my students do is work through practice tests and focus on improving the score from one to the next
2) Mastery - I don't allow my students to move on from a practice test until they're sure they'd get perfect on it if they took it again
3) Regimen - I have over a dozen customized study schedules my students follow, so no matter your schedule you'll know exactly what to do to be on the quickest path to 180

If you're not happy with your first lesson, you get your money back.

Ear Training

Having studied at Berklee College of Music, I took the most advanced ear training classes, including Advanced Ear Training, Atonal Solfege 1, and Atonal Solfege 2. I teach private instrumental lessons and always emphasize ear training as an important tool for musical improvement. My methods are to work on each interval individually and help to facilitate a vivid image of that interval in the student's memory, and eventually translate that ability into longer musical phrases and pieces.

Sports/Recreation

Poker

Poker

I was drawn towards learning poker a number of years ago when I began playing recreationally with friends, and started noticing that even though a lot of luck was involved, very often it was the same people winning and the same people losing. I wanted to pinpoint exactly why I seemed to be beating my friends so often, so that I could institutionalize whatever it was into my game, and discover more ways to exploit the weaknesses of other poker players. I began to watch and study poker on TV and the internet, and read books detailing strategic conventions and ideas. This was when I realized just how multi-faceted of a game poker is - it involves so much of memory, rational thought, discipline, and mathematical understanding, but at the same time, a great deal of simple instinct. Then, the experience of playing hundreds of thousands of hands online was what engrained the instinct in me of what to do with any particular hand in any particular situation, since I had been faced with every situation before and tried different strategies, my memory always noting the one that worked the most often. This knowledge is easily teachable to others in much less time than it took for me to assemble the knowledge and experience.

Phenomenal Tutor, Patient, Knowledgeable, conscientious, inspiring and takes pride and joy in teaching.

I have had the opportunity and privilege of being tutored by Nathan. I found him to be very patient, extremely knowledgeable with an excellent command in teaching and in discerning the hindrances to the lack of comprehension with the ability to successfully address those hindrances. He is an excellent tutor and he takes pride in imparting knowledge. I recommend highly recommend him, if you want someone who is patient, knowledgeable and can provide clear and succinct explanations, who understands different learning styles. He is also conscientious and professional and will work tirelessly until you grasp an excellent command of the subject matter. If you want to learn and are willing to apply yourself with due diligence and patience and can afford to pay to reach your goals, success awaits you, because Nathan will work with you to make sure you are successful.

Very personable and understanding

I was looking for a one-time session and I appreciated that Nathan was not aggressive in trying to sell me more, but rather was focused on listening to where I was at and what I should do in the future on my own.

Good teacher

Nathan is very adept at tutoring over Skype. He shared some "proprietary methods" for tackling logic games that once I master will help me a great deal in any type of LG question
