Online LSAT Tutoring -- Experienced Instructor w/an Official 177
QR Code Link to This Post
Hey, Bozeman --
Applying to law school doesn't have to be a lonely, stressful process.
For more than a decade, I've helped college students and professionals reach their personal-best LSAT scores. I edited teaching scripts for one of the test-prep behemoths -- and then worked for a smaller, more respected LSAT boutique, where I was often one of the highest-rated instructors. (I was also an adjunct lecturer at a top-25 law school.) For the last few years, I've been a freelance tutor, working mostly online.
In a fun and low-key way, I can teach you the skills I used to hit official scores of 174 and 177. Down the road, I can help you decide where and how to apply, and advise you while you plan and edit your personal statement.
My tutoring students have been admitted to every top law school, including Yale, Harvard, Stanford, NYU and Columbia. Whether you're coming to the test cold, or just looking for a fresh strategic approach, I can help.
I prefer reasonable, transparent pricing (see below), and I'm not into high-pressure marketing. Chat with me for a half-hour and decide for yourself whether we'd be a good fit.

PS: All active tutoring students (2 hours/week minimum) are invited, free of additional charge, to join my weekly, 90-minute online group class that meets each Sunday afternoon.

PRICING/FAQ (please read this part carefully):
I tutor on Zoom, bill with Venmo, and schedule using Calendly. You'll need a fast, stable internet connection and a quiet place to work.
My base rate for tutoring is $125/hour. All appointments are two hours long.
A $100 discount is available to students who pay in advance for ten or more firmly scheduled hours. (E.g., a student who made an advance purchase of five two-hour appointments would pay $1150, rather than $1250.)

REVIEWS FROM FORMER STUDENTS (a mix of Yelp reviews, course evaluations, and blurbs from students who found me through ads like this one):
"My time with Matt was truly a high point in my LSAT preparation and law school admissions journey. At the point that I reached Matt I was truly really frustrated with the LSAT. It felt like this daunting hurdle to my aspirations, and I had consumed seemingly all prep material imaginable. Matt made LSAT preparation and tutoring into something that was fun and thought-provoking. Matt was cognizant of helping me avoid burnout and gave me a dedicated plan to ensure I was doing well and challenging myself. By the end of our sessions, I saw improvements in my test scores, and felt more confident in my test taking abilities, and importantly myself. If you’re debating working with Matt, do it! ASAP.
"There were some bad strategies I'd learned that we worked to unlearn, and I regretted that the time I'd put in earlier could have been spent learning and cementing good strategies.
"From an admission advising perspective, Matt helped me push my essays into to another echelon. I had my significant other who had read all my prior essays read the essays I finished with Matt. The writing was all mine, of course, but the new essays had been written with the aid of his feedback and of his questions, which, rather than constraining me, challenged me to consider and refine what I was saying. To my surprise she cried at how impactful they were, and while that’s anecdotal it underscores the level of detail and care Matt dedicated to making sure my admissions materials were top-notch.
"As a first-generation college student and law-school hopeful Matt was indispensable in my law school admissions journey, and I’m deeply indebted to him for his help. He’s an awesome person who I hope to keep in touch with in law school, and I’ll continue to pester him for movie recommendations."

"Matt is without a doubt the most supportive teacher and mentor I have ever worked with. I'm a teacher myself, by the way. I found Matt's methods rigorous but focused on the skills that I needed to improve upon in preparation for the LSAT. He is honest with his assessment, provides clear guidance throughout the process, and still manages to be his students' biggest cheerleader. I gained something from him every session. He is a creative and technically brilliant writer, and my personal statement benefited enormously from his editorial feedback. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

"After getting into all the T3 schools, Yale, Stanford and Harvard, I know there is a person I must thank—Matt. His LSAT tutoring was extremely helpful. As an essay advisor, Matt is amazing! He senses the good and the bad. He advises you on how to make your essays better in a very concrete and constructive way. He also tells you what to keep, and the point at which you should stop and leave the essay as-is. He truly cares about his clients’ success."

“I had hoped to work with an LSAT instructor who would make learning the test bearable. But Matt did better than that: he made it fun. He always seemed personally invested in my success. Largely because of his help, I was able to earn admission to the law school of my dreams.”

"I started at a 144. I was atrocious. I just could not navigate the LSAT. It felt impossible. Through hard work and the guidance of Matthew, we worked together to raise the score to a 164! It felt really good. He is brilliant and will take you step by step through the entire process. I could not have gotten as far as I did without him. I raised my score by 20 points and you can do it too! He is worth the investment and in it for the long haul with you. He really cares about your success. He is experienced."

"If it weren't for Matt, I would not have been able to achieve a 172 LSAT score, a 17-point increase from my diagnostic test. Had I merely continued with self-study, I would have undoubtedly earned a lower score. Matt's teaching ability is rivaled only by his knowledge of the material, which he makes digestible. Shortly after submitting my applications, I received multiple scholarship offers from top-20 law schools. Matt has the rare ability to play tutor, advisor, and friend to help guide you through the anxiety-riddled process that is law school admissions. If you are seeking a knowledgeable teacher that can make even the dullest of subjects entertaining, look no further."
