Elite 1-on-1 LSAT coaching

Law school costs $300,000. Your LSAT score decides how much you pay.

Merit aid is based on your score against a school’s median, not on need. 9 in 10 applicants scoring 166 or higher walk away with scholarship money. The odds drop hard below that. A coach who scored 170+ can help you get there, before a school decides what you’ll pay.

What a score is worth

Your GPA is locked. Your score isn’t.

Sticker passes $300,000 at a T14 over 3 years. Merit money is driven almost entirely by where your score lands against a school’s median. Either you pay that bill or a scholarship does.

$250k+What 3 years of law school costs at sticker. Past $300,000 at a T14.
$50k–$150kWhat a 5-point jump in the 160s has been worth in scholarships, for applicants with similar numbers.
9 in 10Applicants scoring 166 to 180 who get merit aid. It drops sharply below that.

Your score is the one number you can still move before you apply, and it’s the highest-return line item in your whole application. Look, every applicant online knows points are worth money. The only question that’s ever mattered is whether you actually get them. I went 152 to 175. A coach knows where you’re losing points and how to get them back before your test date. Whatever coaching costs, it’s a fraction of one scholarship bracket. And a scholarship isn’t a discount. It’s debt you never borrow, so it never collects interest for 10 years.

Ranges come from public ABA 509 data and self-reported outcomes from applicants with similar numbers. Not a guarantee. Your GPA, your timing in the cycle, and the rest of your file move the number too.

The real problem

You’ve been studying alone. That’s the plateau.

What keeps you below that line is usually a habit you can’t see in yourself. No book, video, or practice test can show it to you. A coach can.

On your own

You take another practice test and the score doesn’t move.

You reread the explanation, nod, and miss the same trap next time.

You can’t see your own habits, so you keep grinding the wrong thing harder.

With a coach

A coach watches how you actually work and names the habit you’d never notice.

You review the right way, on your real misses, until the trap is obvious before it’s set.

Your plan is built around your sticking points and your test date, not a generic syllabus.

What you get

A coach, a plan, and the work that moves the score.

Every coach teaches the same way. The LASER Approach for structure, the Socratic Review Method inside the sessions. The free lesson is where you find out if it’s the right next step, not this page.

Maybe not yet if

You want a shortcut. This is real work, made faster.

You can’t put in the hours between sessions.

You haven’t taken the free lesson yet. That’s where you find out for sure.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Why a coach instead of a $300 course? Expand

A course can’t watch you take the test. A coach can. Everyone gets the same videos from a course, but a coach watches how you actually work, finds the habit capping your score, and fixes what you can’t see in yourself. That’s where the points you keep missing actually are.

What does it cost? Expand

It depends on your timeline, your goal, and how much support you want, so we build the plan and the price with you on the free lesson. You’ll leave knowing exactly what it would take and what it would cost, with no obligation.

What if it doesn’t work? Expand

If your scores stall after a few weeks of real work, we’ll say so and change the plan. Pretending it’s working when it isn’t is the worst thing a coach can do.

Who will my coach be? Expand

One of the 170+ scorers on this page, matched to how you learn and where you’re stuck. I built the method, so you get the same system whoever you work with. I’ve been coaching the LSAT since 2005.

I had a tutor before and it didn’t help. Expand

Unstructured tutoring is the complaint we hear most. No plan, nobody watching how you actually worked, just a score that didn’t move. Every coach here watches your real work, not just your answer sheet, and names the habit you can’t see in yourself. If your numbers stall after a few weeks, we’ll say so and change the plan instead of repeating the same sessions.

I don’t feel ready to book yet. Expand

You don’t need a diagnosed score or a finished study plan to book. The free lesson is where you find that out. We’ll work through a real question with you and tell you honestly whether now is the right time or whether you should keep studying on your own first.
