Learn the LSAT from an actual law professor.
I won law teaching awards for simplifying complex concepts for struggling law students. I want to tailor and personalize a course of LSAT study for you so that you succeed at the LSAT and as you move through your legal career. I am available for one-time reviews and for full-length courses. Book a consultation below.
Not everyone who gets a high score on the LSAT can create curricula tailored to different learning styles, but Matthew has a track record of doing just that.
A track record of LSAT and legal success
I received a 180 on the LSAT after an intense course of self-study, which led to a scholarship from a top-10 law school. Since graduating from law school and passing the bar, I’ve worked for federal judges and won appeals in state and federal court.
My 27-point improvement from my lowest practice test is proof that you don’t have to rewire your brain to improve on the LSAT. There are multiple ways to succeed on this test. In my full course, I will assess your strengths and then help you build logical pathways to address just your weaknesses.
Targeted study tips and people-centered strategy
Performing well on the LSAT is not just about your accuracy on test questions. The test is also about keeping your mind fresh, building up your speed and confidence, and making sure your question-answering skills can withstand test-day anxiety.
My curriculum focuses not just on drilling questions, but also on automating your logical paths for speed and making sure you’re not burning out. My full course includes a personalized session on triage strategies if you get knocked off your game on test day.
A lifetime understanding how people learn
I was a tutor for low-income and first-generation community college students before law school. I later spent two years suing New York City schools for special education accommodations. And I taught law courses that focus on the same quick-processing skills that matter for the LSAT, part of why my students voted me faculty member of the year in my first year of eligibility.
If you have struggled with one-size-fits-all courses or prep materials, you’re not alone. I can tailor our 1-on-1 sessions to fit your learning style—I have 20 years of experience doing so.
Currently, I offer three baseline services. The first is a 16-session “full course”, complete with a study plan devised between sessions 2 and 3, as well as assignments to be completed in between sessions; this is designed to be full-service and comprehensive, and sessions can be scheduled at whatever interval fits your life.
The second is what I call “troubleshooting tutoring”, which is typically 6–8 hours of tutoring aimed at assessing your strengths and weaknesses, your overall study strategy, and suggesting some strategies to train yourself to improve your accuracy, your speed, or your test-day headspace. This is by far the most common service that my students book with me.
I also do offer pay-as-you-go individual sessions, either for spot work to discuss one practice test, one question set, or your overall study strategy; or for folks on a shorter timeline than troubleshooting tutoring might allow. Sessions are assumed to be via video, but I can arrange in-person sessions in Cleveland, OH.
The full course is $2,250, a troubleshooting tutoring package is $160 per hour, and pay-as-you-go rates are $200 per hour. All of these rates are already inclusive of preparation time, including pre-work and pattern spotting in your recent drills and practice tests/sections. However, I am flexible to come up with a course of study that fits your needs and your budget.
