"I'm Nirasean, and I'm passionate about helping students achieve their target LSAT scores through a structured, conceptual approach to test preparation. I graduated from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, with a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, where I developed a deep understanding of argumentative structure and formal logic that directly translates to LSAT success. I personally scored a 173 on the LSAT, which has given me valuable insight into what it takes to perform at a high level on this challenging exam.

My tutoring experience spans several areas that have prepared me well for LSAT instruction. Before focusing on the LSAT, I worked as a tutor for English as a Second Language students, which taught me how to break down complex concepts and adapt my teaching style to individual learning needs. I also tutored formal logic, which is particularly relevant since logical reasoning forms the foundation of LSAT questions.

Through my LSAT tutoring work, I've had the privilege of working one-on-one with clients across a wide range of ability levels, from those starting with diagnostic scores in the 140s to students already scoring in the 170s who want to refine their skills and eliminate final blind spots.

My teaching approach centers on building a comprehensive understanding of argumentative structure that students can apply across all LSAT question types. Rather than teaching tricks or shortcuts, I focus on helping students develop the analytical frameworks they need to approach any question with confidence. Whether a student needs help creating a complete study plan from scratch or wants to focus on specific weaknesses, I tailor my instruction to meet them where they are and guide them toward their goals through patient, methodical practice." less...
