Bio

Hello! I have been helping students get excellent scores on the LSAT for more than 15 years. During that time, I have helped 100s of students maximize their potential and get into the law schools of their dreams. I'd love to help YOU do that too!

The primary thing that sets me apart from the majority of LSAT tutors is my extensive experience and training as an educator. Like many tutors, I have scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT (3 times) and I worked really hard to earn those scores....

Hello! I have been helping students get excellent scores on the LSAT for more than 15 years. During that time, I have helped 100s of students maximize their potential and get into the law schools of their dreams. I'd love to help YOU do that too!

The primary thing that sets me apart from the majority of LSAT tutors is my extensive experience and training as an educator. Like many tutors, I have scored in the 99th percentile on the LSAT (3 times) and I worked really hard to earn those scores. Scoring 177 on the Nov 2021 digital LSAT helped me master the current remote testing protocol first-hand. But to be honest, that's not enough to make a great tutor. The more important expertise I bring to the table is assessing *your* strengths & weaknesses, and then designing and coaching you through a personalized plan so you reach your highest potential on your test. All of our one-on-one sessions will be customized to YOUR personal needs, which maximizes your return on investment of both time and money.

With a small team of professional educators, I have recently started developing LSAT prep courses for top schools like the Univ of Michigan, Duke and UCLA. I also taught for several of the most highly-regarded LSAT prep programs -- I know their methods and I am very familiar with their materials. Most importantly, I have the expertise to identify and teach the methods that will best match *your* individual learning style. In this way, you are certain to practice and master the strategies and techniques that will help YOU succeed, without wasting time/energy/money on methods that do not suit you.

FREE CONSULTATION: I offer a free consultation (30-40 mins) where we can get to know each other and discuss your goals, needs, etc. and to evaluate whether we're a good fit for working together.

Together, we will maximize your potential and get your personal best score. If it sounds like we might be a good fit, please contact me to schedule a free consultation and/or ask any questions.

I look forward to working with you!

LSAT

It might seem weird, but LSAT tutoring is my passion (well, one of them!). I scored very well on the LSAT (99th percentile), and as my track record demonstrates, I can help YOU reach your full LSAT potential. My expertise is in helping you maximize both your understanding and your score. My approach is friendly and personable, but also efficient and effective. Working together, we will build your confidence, enhance your skills, and improve your score. I have more than 15 years of LSAT tutoring experience (on my own and also teaching for highly-regarded LSAT prep companies), and I’m currently developing LSAT courses for undergrads at the University of Michigan, Duke and UCLA. There is no single “best” method or strategy for the various sections and tasks on the LSAT – what matters most is identifying and mastering the strategies that work best for YOU. Together, we will design an LSAT prep plan that is customized to your learning style, strengths and needs. Using this personalized approach, I've helped hundreds of students surpass their target scores and earn admissions and generous scholarships to their preferred schools. Scoring well on the LSAT requires knowing the tested concepts, structures and patterns in a deep way. I know this test inside and out, and I can help you develop that deep understanding. I've spent hundreds of hours evaluating the patterns in things like how LSAT games are designed, how LR questions are written, and how the LSAT writers construct tempting but incorrect answers. Through our sessions, you will acquire many of these same insights, which I guarantee will make the entire test more straightforward. I truly LOVE tutoring for the LSAT, and I bring this positive attitude to each and every session. If you're looking for an expert tutor who will also be your coach and teammate in this very challenging process of getting into a great law school, let's schedule a free consultation where we can discuss your goals and needs in detail. Feel free to reach out to me here via the Wyzant messa

The best tutor!!!

If you are looking for an LSAT tutor, look no further. Janet is the perfect embodiment of an individual who not only possesses extreme knowledge required to nail this test, she is also a caring and devoted person who genuinely wants you to succeed. Throughout my lessons with Janet, I was able to progress steadily and gain an additional insight along with helpful tips and strategies to achieve the score I wanted. Due to her help, I was able to score in my dream score range on the real thing which I initially thought was impossible. Additionally, Janet is extremely accessible outside of scheduled lessons and answers questions promptly no matter when you shoot her a message!! She is truly a phenomenal person academically when it concerns the LSAT as well as just a great, genuine individual on a personal level. If you are having any struggles with the LSAT, she is the perfect tutor for you!!

Patient and knows how to help you to be successful!

Janet is hands down the best tutor I have ever had. I came to Janet after using a big prep test company (blueprint) that wasn’t able to explain things nor work with me in the way that Janet did. I had already taken the LSAT twice and was going for the third time in order to raise my score for scholarships and was not excited about having to retake the test and truly felt like I was “stuck”. I came to Janet with an understanding of the LSAT but was able to find what I was personally doing wrong and build my own skills through the various drill sets, readings, videos, and one on one tutor sessions that Janet offers. I went from strongly disliking the LSAT to feeling confident and capable on test day. My one regret is not using Janet first, so don’t make the same mistake as me; a test prep company doesn’t care about you in the way that Janet does!!

Amazing LSAT Tutor

Janet helped me go from a 154 diagnostic LSAT to a 165 in about 3 months. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced and professional LSAT Tutor

One of the most experienced tutors

Hearing about my journey through the LSAT, Janet was determined to gage my learning style and skillfully addressed my areas of weakness. She is excellent in all three sections, but LR was the hardest for me to combat, and she gave me handouts, and good practice techniques to make sure there were no surprises on test day. She also was a cheerleader throughout the whole process, encouraging me and supporting me to get above my goal score. I improved over 10+ points over the course of tutoring with Janet. Will recommend her to anyone going through a similar LSAT journey, where you are having a hard time break out of a score range.

Amazing LSAT Tutor!

I worked with Janet for about 3 months and had a phenomenal experience! She is great at targeting the specific areas that you need to improve on and creating a lesson plan to strengthen those skills. During sessions, Janet will thoroughly and patiently explain confusing concepts and answer any questions you may have. Most importantly, she is an extremely kind and empathetic tutor who clearly cares about her students and their success. Before working with Janet, I scored a 170 on the LSAT and was struggling to see any further improvement. However, after under 3 months of working with Janet, I was able to raise my official score to a 180. Absolutely could not have done it without her!

The best tutor for the LSAT and for admissions

Before I met Janet, I was struggling with the LSAT. I had tried buying books and even meeting with other tutors, but it didn't help at all. That all changed when I met Janet. Unlike the other tutors I met with, Janet took the time to not only understand my target score and schools I am interested in applying to, but also my learning style/thought process, and my personality. She was able to create a tailored plan that made me work through my problems and develop the confidence for test day. For each lesson, she was very patient and took the time to explain it so that I can understand the question/concept completely. Thanks to Janet's plan and guidance (for my LSAT exam and for my admissions writing), I was able to reach beyond my target score and get accepted into my target school. Thank you Janet for all of your help. You have done so much for me and I am so thankful!

Go with Janet!!

Janet is a fantastic tutor. I was consistently practicing in the 165-167 range and really struggling with Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. I had three weeks until my LSAT and she helped me go from missing 6 to 7 in both of those sections to missing only 2 to 3. I came out of the October administration very confident in the whole test, something I wasn't used to, and scored a 172 and am sure Janet was a big reason. She was easily able to identify my weaknesses and helped me out so so much!
