FAQs

Our tutoring sessions are typically scheduled through Telly for 60 or 90 minute blocks throughout the week. After scheduling, you’ll receive a Zoom link for our meeting at your scheduled time.
During the session, we will either walk you through LSAT questions (prioritizing explaining difficult or tricky questions that you’ve gotten wrong) and help you understand how to improve. If you scheduled for an essay appointment, we will talk with you about your essay, read through it, and give advice on how to revise, edit, or even rewrite aspects of it to be even stronger.
-
How often you want to meet with a tutor depends on your goals; if you’re preparing for the LSAT within the next 3 weeks, you may want more frequent sessions than someone who’s got 7 months to prepare.
We recommend meeting with a tutor at least once a week, to ensure you’re still on track for success.
