The Method

How I actually teach this test.

Logical Reasoning

Most prep courses rush through question types and dive into practice tests. Short-term gains, long-term stalls. The common thread? Weak foundations.

If you can't identify the conclusion, how can you find its flaw?

We go question type by question type. I won't move on until you've mastered each one. After every four types, you take a practice section.

Most students go from -10 to -3 per section after just a few types.

Reading Comprehension

Most tutors treat RC like an unchangeable skill. They assume it's innate and focus on boosting LR to offset a "manageable" -2 or -3.

My approach is different.

I've developed a method that helps students reliably score -0 on RC. It's grounded in careful, intentional reading and a high standard for evidence.

Students who missed 7-8 per section improve to near-perfect after a few hours.

★★★★★

Elias was incredibly helpful on my journey to my 177. His explanations were very clear and insightful, and I had so many eureka moments during our lessons. Most importantly, I found his own understanding of the psychological struggles that come with taking the test, and personal advice addressing those challenges, incredibly invaluable.
