Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Tutors.
How much does an LSAT tutor cost?
LSAT tutors cost as little as $15 per hour, but the most highly regarded tutors charge between $100 to $300 per hour for private tutoring. Many LSAT tutors price their services as part of a package. A typical package is 10 to 30 hours, depending on the type of tutoring you need.
When choosing a tutor, you will find that location and experience play a big factor in the total cost. Tutors in larger cities generally command higher rates than those in smaller cities or rural areas. Also, if they meet with you in person, they tend to charge more than if they meet with you online. More experienced tutors with a proven track record of boosting LSAT scores and those with experience teaching law school often charge more.
Are LSAT tutors worth it?
LSAT tutors can be worth the investment for many students preparing for the LSAT. Tutors can provide personalized instruction, help identify weaknesses, and develop a customized study plan. This tailored approach is often more effective than self-study alone.
Many tutoring companies offer score guarantees, such as a refund or free retake if the student doesn't improve their score by a certain amount. This provides additional value and accountability. Also, tutors who have scored very high on the LSAT themselves can share effective strategies and techniques that they used to excel on the exam.
Do I need a tutor for the LSAT?
Whether or not you need a tutor for the LSAT depends mainly on your learning style and study habits. A self-motivated student who creates a structured learning plan for themselves can likely be successful without a tutor. A less motivated student or one that thrives in social situations may find the personal attention and encouragement from an LSAT tutor is beneficial.
How do I find an LSAT tutor?
Follow these suggestions to find a skilled, experienced LSAT tutor who can provide personalized support and strategies to help you improve your score:
Look for tutors that fit your budget, schedule, and location.
Choose from tutors with high LSAT scores (e.g. 170+) who can share effective strategies they used.
Consider whether you want a tutor with a similar background or learning style to yours, as this can help create a more supportive and relatable learning environment.
Evaluate potential tutors based on their qualifications, teaching experience, and ability to provide a personalized study plan and feedback.
Ask for references from past students and look for positive reviews on Tutors and Google.
For more affordable options, look into tutoring packages from test prep companies, which can provide both individual attention and group lessons.
Make sure the tutor you choose offers score improvement guarantees or the ability to continue working with you until you reach your target score.
What questions should I ask an LSAT tutor?
Ask these important questions to determine if the prospective tutor has the right expertise, teaching approach, and cost for your needs and goals:
What was your own LSAT score and when did you take the exam?
How many years of LSAT tutoring experience do you have?
What kind of LSAT training or certification do you have?
Are you comfortable teaching all sections of the LSAT, or do you specialize in certain areas?
What LSAT prep materials do you typically use with students?
Do you focus on teaching core LSAT concepts and strategies, or more on practice tests?
How do you customize your teaching approach for each student's needs?
Can you provide examples of effective techniques you use to help students improve their LSAT scores?
Can you explain LSAT concepts and strategies in a clear, easy-to-understand way?
How will you provide feedback and track my progress throughout our sessions?
What is your availability and where can we meet? Do you offer online tutoring?
What is your hourly rate or package pricing?
Do you offer any score improvement guarantees or refund policies?
Based on my goals, do you think I would be a good fit for your tutoring services?

Maureen is an excellent tutor. We were fortunate that she was able to tutor all three of our kids - over a span of 8 years on both the SSAT and SAT. After working with Maureen, each of our children did significantly better on the standardized tests. A very experienced tutor, Maureen is smart, organized, creative and really seems to love working with kids - and they love working with her. She created a comfortable and supportive learning environment for each of our kids. By teaching them techniques and strategies in such a clear and effective way, Maureen helped them to stay focused and not overwhelmed. She boosted their confidence and, subsequently, helped them boost their test scores. Over the years, we have been so grateful for Maureen's kindness, patience, encouragement and enthusiasm as she helped our children navigate the standardized tests. Needless to say, you really can't get a better tutor than Maureen. I absolutely recommend her!

Garrett was an invaluable tutor for my AP US History class. He consistently strove to enhance my understanding by approaching our sessions using different learning styles to see which one stuck with me. Garrett took the time to identify the areas where I was struggling and was very patient while explaining complicated concepts to make sure they stuck! He improved my grade from a B+ to an A which significantly improved my GPA and indicated growth to colleges which was very helpful when being admitted. Without Garrett's help, I wouldn't have the problem-solving skills I still use today in my college history courses!

First I'd like to thank them for the work their tutors did with Lauryn. She was accepted to 8 out of 9 of the schools she applied to, was given scholarship money at 7 out of 8 that she was accepted to, and has decided to attend Villanova. She's been given a full academic scholarship for 4 years. I know none of this would have happened without the SAT scores she achieved I've heard too many heartbreaking stories recently of top students who did not get into the schools of their choice - there is no doubt in my mind it was due to their SAT scores not being what they could have been. THANK YOU!”

Mr. Ghassemi is a very great tutor. In fact, I would say that he is better than my teacher at school. The main reason behind this is because he goes in depth with the lessons and gives numerous practice problems, both MCQ and FRQ for me [student] to understand. He also gives detailed solutions to each one and works with the student had they got it wrong or simply do not understand. When a student simply does not understand, he is extremely patient and listens to their ideas and provides an explanation if their ideas are correct, if they are wrong he makes sure to delve deeper into the concepts that are required for the optimal understanding of that problem. He also makes sure you understand the concptual reasoning behind each question. Mr. Ghassemi is definitely highly qualified in both Maths and Physics. He spends a lot of time on his own apart from the one on one student session to work each problem out before hand and sometimes even provides multiple approaches or solutions regarding how to solve the questions. He helps with both preparing for the AP Exams as well as preparing for unit tests and homework given by the school. I would definitely recommend Mr. Ghassemi to anyone requiring a high quality tutor that gives high quality services!
