Personal Statement

Hi--I'm Bryan! I'm a seasoned standardized test tutor, and nothing makes me happier than watching LSAT students who were once intimidated by this test slowly gain confidence and skill.

I graduated magna cum laude with a degree in English from Amherst College. While in undergraduate, I started tutoring, and I quickly discovered that helping other people reach their full academic potential in a one-on-one setting is extremely productive and rewarding. I now have 8 years of experience working...

Reviews

My first session with Bryan was fantastic! I had already been somewhat familiar with the LR question types and Bryan made clear several of the concepts that had not yet been solidified in my brain. He is such a pleasure to work with, and it feels like he really cares about my success and growth. Extremely prepared and dedicated. Thank you, Bryan!!

I went from a 159 LSAT diagnostic to a 178 on the real LSAT this month, and I absolutely attribute most of this progress to Bryan. I worked with him every week for nearly four months, and it could not have been more helpful having him as a tutor. He is incredibly smart, very patient, and most importantly a very good teacher. Before working with Bryan, I tried out two other tutors -- one of whom had been helping write a famous LSAT prep course for 30 years before retiring and clearly knew the test inside out. Bryan was 10x better. Unlike the first guy, it felt like Bryan was invested in my journey -- he genuinely cared about helping me improve and clearly spent effort tailoring his teaching to my needs and thinking about what the best strategies would be for me. He was responsive to my suggestions and worked with me. When I was in New York City for a few weeks, for instance, he would travel for 45 minutes to a coffee shop near me so we could have in-person lessons. He would send a weekly schedule after every lesson telling me exactly what to do everyday -- based on my progres and what we'd discussed -- so I didn't have to think about it. Unlike the other two tutors I tried, Bryan is young. This was initially a concern of mine but this turned out to absolutely be a positive. It made him relatable and it made communication between us much easier. He was recently in the position I'm in now -- taking the LSAT and applying to schools -- so he clearly sympathized with my position. Bryan used a number of different resources to help me improve. He pulled out the most helpful lessons and exercises from different courses and prep books to put together what was essentially a personalized curriculum for me. If you're wondering if his hourly rate is worth it, it absolutely is. Don't skimp on preparation for this test (hell, a few extra points could save you thousands in scholarship money) -- lessons with Bryan are absolutely worth it. I've recommended him to all of my friends who are planning on taking the LSAT and I will continue to do so. I tried two online courses too. They're fine, but I pretty much just stopped using them once I started lessons with Bryan.

Bryan is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He helps you work through any questions you have but also teaches you how to apply the skills and learn how to work through the problems on your own.

I worked with Bryan over the course of 3 months and he helped develop my argumentation and analytical reasoning skills in both the Logical Reasoning and Logic Games section. He helped me build repetition by attacking the core of each argument to identify the premise(s) and conclusion. I appreciated the LSAT explanations that followed with each question and the argument drills. The techniques and strategies are transferable instilling confidence for anybody that wants to take the test.
