180 LSAT Scoring Tutor With Ivy League Legal Education

Branden D.

Hello Students!

I began my LSAT journey at a 143 and worked my way through a 152, a 158, a 165, and ultimately a 180. That progression matters, because it means I didn’t start out with an intuitive or natural advantage—I built my score deliberately, step by step, by identifying weaknesses, correcting flawed reasoning habits, and refining my approach over time. Having experienced each major score plateau firsthand, I understand exactly what blocks students at different stages, whether it’s basic argument comprehension, conditional reasoning, timing issues, or the subtle mistakes that separate high-160s from elite scores.

As a tutor, I focus on building durable analytical skills that transfer across questions and sections. I emphasize understanding why correct answers must be correct and why wrong answers are designed to look appealing, which helps students gain confidence and consistency under timed conditions. Students who work with me typically leave sessions with a clear plan, a sharper understanding of their mistakes, and concrete strategies they can immediately apply on future sections. My approach is structured, methodical, and adaptable to each student’s current score range and learning style.

Because I’ve personally navigated the full improvement arc, I can diagnose problems quickly and explain concepts in ways that actually click. I know how frustrating it can be to feel “stuck,” and I also know that meaningful improvement comes from disciplined reasoning rather than brute repetition. My goal is not just to raise scores, but to teach students how to think the way the LSAT demands.

Rather than assigning endless problem sets, I focus on deliberate analysis. This approach helps students develop independence and confidence. Whether you’re aiming to break into the 150s, push into the 160s, or refine a strong score into an elite one, my goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward efficiently and confidently.

I look forward to working with you!
