"Hi, I’m Zach. I'm a 2024 Columbia Law School grad going into BigLaw in the fall. I've tutored LSAT since 2020, when I took the test and earned a 99th percentile score. My students find it funny how much I love the LSAT. It's true, the LSAT changed me and made me a better thinker.

LR and RC were very hard for me at first, but I was eventually able to master them through a combo of drills, simulated tests, and blind review.

Some students hire me knowing exactly what they need me for. Other students need a bit more structure. My approach when studying was to make "blind review" the centerpiece of my studying. Blind review highlighted my weak spots, and I focused on those weak spots with my tutor. This is how it works: (1) take a timed test, marking questions you're not 100% sure about; (2) before scoring the exam, take your time to get to ~100% certainty on all marked questions; (3) score the exam; (4) note your "high priority" questions: those you didn't mark but still got wrong, and ones you got wrong even after blind review.

Even if you don't choose to hire me as a tutor, I also want to share with you one of the most important drills for helping me master LR and RC: the reading retention drill. Take a Logical Reasoning section out of an old PT. Cover up or delete all the questions and answers, leaving only the stimuli: that's all you need for this drill. Starting with the first stimulus: (1) read the stimulus carefully, making mental notes as to the logical structure of the ideas; (2) cover up the stimulus; (3) jot down everything you remember about what you read, reconstructing the logical structure; (4) uncover the stimulus; (5) take a red pen and circle everything you missed in the stimulus; (6) Move onto the next stimulus and try to do a little better. This drill turned me into a reading and analysis machine.

Hope to hear from you if you think I can be of service in your LSAT journey." less...
