Why It is Worth It to Invest in an LSAT Tutor

There are many parts to a law school application – GPA, LSAT score, personal statement, letters of reference, among others. However, the most important factors are, no doubt, your undergraduate GPA and your LSAT score.

How to Choose an LSAT Tutor: 10 Key Questions to Ask

2 Comments/in Prelaw

Many students wonder how to choose an LSAT tutor. An LSAT tutor can be a great resource. A lot of students find LSAT tutors to be more helpful than LSAT classes. A tutor can keep you accountable, they can explain things in an easy-to-understand fashion in a one-on-one setting, and they can directly tailor their LSAT tutoring sessions to your specific needs.

However, not all LSAT tutors are equal! It is important to ask key questions not only to distinguish the “good” tutors from the “bad” tutors but also to find a tutor that fits your needs. All LSAT tutors should have basic qualifications – such as experience tutoring the LSAT, and a high LSAT score themselves. They should also be flexible enough to fit your schedule and tutor at a time and place that is convenient for you. However, you also need to consider what you need. Ask yourself what you are looking to get out of your LSAT tutoring sessions. Do you just want LSAT strategies explained? Or do you also want someone to help you with time management, accountability, and a study schedule? How do you learn? Does this match up with how the LSAT tutor teaches? Thus, even before asking your LSAT tutor the below questions, ask yourself what you are really looking for!
