How it works

Three steps to your first class.

  1. Tell me your latest score.

    A diagnostic is fine. I'll place you in the 150s, 160s or 170+ class.

  2. Pick in person or Zoom, and the times that work.

    I'll send you your class time.

  3. Show up and pay as you go.

    No package, no contract. When your score moves up, so does your class.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Yes. Tell me your latest practice score and I'll place you in a class at your level. Or bring your study group.

Your most recent practice test: 150s, 160s or 170+. No practice test yet? Take a free official one on LSAC's LawHub and send me the score, or just tell me and I'll place you.

Size and attention. The class holds up to 15 at $20/hr. The small group holds up to 6 at $45/hr, so more of the hour goes to your questions. 1-on-1 is $120/hr and every minute is yours, with your own target score and plan. Same method in all three.

Pay as you go, by the hour. No package, no course fee up front, no contract.
