Private LSAT tutoring in New York, built around your target score.
One-to-one LSAT prep in Manhattan and online for college students, working professionals and career changers. We start with a full diagnostic, set a score target matched to your law school list, and work through Logical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension and Argumentative Writing until the target is in reach.
Know exactly what you are preparing for.
The LSAT is a test of reading and reasoning, not of legal knowledge. Since August 2024 the test has had no Logic Games section, so success now depends almost entirely on argument analysis and dense reading.
Most JD programmes, including every law school in New York City, give the LSAT significant weight in admissions and scholarship decisions. A few points can change which schools are realistic for you and how much merit aid you are offered, which is why targeted one-to-one preparation pays for itself.

Every part of the LSAT, taught one to one.
Logical Reasoning
Two of the three scored sections. We teach you to find the conclusion, spot the gap in the reasoning and match it to the question type, from flaw and assumption questions to parallel reasoning and principle questions.
Reading Comprehension
Dense passages on law, science and the humanities. We build an active reading method that tracks the author's purpose, viewpoints and structure, including the comparative passage set.
LSAT Argumentative Writing
A clear, persuasive structure for the writing task, with timed practice and written feedback, so the sample admissions officers read reflects you at your best.
Timing and test-day strategy
Section pacing, when to skip and return, managing the unscored section and preparing for a test centre or a remote administration.
Diagnostics and score targets
Timed practice tests analysed question by question, with a target range set against the median LSAT scores of the schools on your list.
Retake and score-raising plans
For students who have plateaued: a fresh look at where points are lost, a new approach to the weak question types, and a retake date that fits LSAC's rules.
A clear path from diagnostic to test day.
Diagnostic
A timed practice LSAT and a conversation about your target schools, timeline and weekly availability.
Written plan
A study calendar with weekly targets, homework sets and the practice tests you will take, worked back from your test date.
Drill and review
Sessions focus on your weakest question types. We review every missed question together until the pattern behind it is clear.
Full simulations
Timed, full-length practice tests in the final weeks, with section-by-section review and a test-day routine.

LSAT prep: frequently asked questions.
Does the LSAT still include Logic Games?
No. LSAC removed the Analytical Reasoning (Logic Games) section from tests starting in August 2024. The scored test now consists of two Logical Reasoning sections and one Reading Comprehension section, plus one unscored variable section that can be of either type. We teach to the current format only.
How long should I spend preparing for the LSAT?
Most of our students prepare over three to six months, studying around ten to fifteen hours a week. The right length depends on your diagnostic score, your target and how much time your job or classes leave you. Your tutor will set a realistic timeline after your first session.
What is LSAT Argumentative Writing and does it matter?
LSAT Argumentative Writing is a separate, unscored writing task that you complete online. You need a writing sample on file before LSAC will release your score, and law schools receive it with your application, so admissions officers can read it. We teach a clear, efficient structure and give written feedback on practice responses.
Can I take LSAT lessons online?
Yes. Many of our students work full time in Manhattan or study outside the city, so we teach live online as well as in person. Online sessions use a shared screen and the same official practice material we use in person.
Do you help with law school applications as well?
Yes. Once your score is where you want it, we can help you build a school list, plan your application timing and draft your personal statement, diversity statement and any addenda. See our law school admissions and tutoring page for more.
I have already taken the LSAT. Can you help me retake it?
Yes. Retakers make up a large share of our LSAT students. We review your previous score report and practice history, find where points are being lost, and rebuild your approach to those question types rather than repeating what you have already done.
