Your first session focuses on assessment and strategy. A tutor will review your diagnostic test results, discuss your target schools and score goals, and identify which sections are causing the most trouble. You'll also learn about the test format, timing strategies, and what to expect from the tutoring process so you can hit the ground running in subsequent sessions.

Logic games require a completely different skill set than the other sections—they demand spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, and the ability to work quickly under pressure. Many students haven't practiced this type of analytical thinking before, so it feels unfamiliar and intimidating at first. A tutor can teach you the diagramming systems and strategies that make games manageable, then help you build speed through deliberate practice.

Timing issues usually stem from either inefficient strategies or attempting questions before you're ready. Expert tutors teach pacing techniques specific to each section—like which logic games to tackle first, how to skim reading passages effectively, and how to spot common logical reasoning question patterns quickly. With a solid strategy and timed practice tests, you'll build the rhythm needed to complete sections confidently.

Most successful test-takers complete 20-40 full practice tests leading up to exam day, spacing them out over several months to allow time for learning between attempts. Rather than just taking tests, the real value comes from reviewing every single question you miss—understanding not just the right answer, but why you chose wrong. A tutor helps you analyze patterns in your mistakes so each practice test makes you smarter, not just more tired.

LSAT reading comprehension rewards active reading—you need to understand the author's main point, structure, and tone rather than memorize details. Many students slow down trying to remember everything, which kills their timing. Tutors teach efficient annotation techniques and question-prediction strategies that help you read purposefully and answer questions faster. The goal is to read once, understand deeply, and move through questions with confidence.

Test anxiety often comes from feeling unprepared or uncertain about your approach—which is exactly what personalized tutoring addresses. By the time you sit for the real exam, you'll have taken dozens of practice tests, mastered your strategies, and built genuine confidence in your abilities. Tutors also teach mental techniques like controlled breathing and positive self-talk, plus help you develop a test-day routine that keeps you calm and focused.
