“When I first came to Olivia, I had already taken a prep course and worked with a tutor from my prep course. Neither offered me the level of understanding that Olivia offered me as soon as I started working with her. When I started my sessions with Olivia, she taught me new strategies for all the question types in logical reasoning that actually made sense. When introducing these strategies, Olivia almost always gave me a visual or an analogy to help me remember what the question type is really asking you to do with the information provided in the stimulus. I found this to be so innovative and really effective! For once, I felt like I understood and could remember exactly what I needed to do when I saw a flaw question and how that differed from what I needed to do when it was a strengthen or a weaken question. That feeling of wait I know this is a X question type but I have no idea what to do now disappeared for me, which was huge! For all these question types, Olivia also showed me ways that I can check my answers so that I can feel like I can move on with confidence. 

As I started to apply the strategies that Olivia showed me, there were of course questions that I didn't quite understand. With these, Olivia always went out of her way to ensure that I understood why the right answer is right and why the wrong answer is wrong. If something still didn't click for me, Olivia never stopped trying to explain the answer to me in a way that made sense. Now that's dedication! 

Through Olivia's help, I have built a strong foundation and I've made progress that I was starting to feel like I would never make on the LSAT. For context, when I first started studying for the lsat my diagnosis was a 148. I recently have hit the 160s and am so happy! I am confident that she has prepared me to reach my goal score and I could not have done this without her help! “

“Words cannot adequately describe the type of amazing tutor Olivia is. Thanks to her, I look at the LSAT completely different and feel confident for this upcoming LSAT. She is patient, always found time to tutor me, and I always felt comfortable asking her for help no matter how many times I just couldn’t seem to get the problem right. Olivia’s style of tutoring, along with her overall amazing personality, is exactly why I would recommend her 11/10 times to anyone who needs help on the LSAT!”
