Private Tutoring Near You
Receive personally tailored LSAT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with the best tutor for your particular needs while offering flexible scheduling to fit your busy life.If you're a prospective law student getting ready to face the LSAT, Varsity Tutors can set you up with Sacramento LSAT tutors who can assist you in your preparatory efforts.
The LSAT is a long exam that will test your reasoning and critical thinking skills in a variety of ways, and it can be difficult to know how to begin preparing. Combine this with the fact that the LSAT can impact your ability to attend the school of your choice - whether that's the University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law, the University of Northern California's Lorenzo Patino School of Law, or anywhere else - and you can see why enrolling in Sacramento LSAT tutoring can be an excellent choice. You'll get expert support from a highly-qualified instructor who knows the ins and outs of the test, and who can help you decide how to structure your studies.
What are some of the advantages of Sacramento LSAT tutoring?
You'll work with Sacramento LSAT tutors one-on-one, which provides some key benefits. If you were to sign up for a traditional, classroom-based prep course, you'd be restricted by the very nature of group instruction. When teachers are dealing with a group of students, they have to adopt generalized teaching methods that prioritize the overall needs of the group over the preferences of individual students, which can leave some learners out in the cold.
Teachers have to stick to strict class schedules in order to cover all the material that's on the LSAT. As the LSAT requires students to show such a broad range of knowledge, it's likely that there are some aspects of the exam that you feel fairly confident about, and others that you're shakier on. Such a scattershot teaching approach can result in time wasted reviewing concepts that you already understand.
Sacramento LSAT tutoring offers a solution to these issues. When you begin working with your mentor they can talk to you about your individual goals and design a personalized lesson plan that can put you on a trajectory towards success on the LSAT. By targeting your specific weaknesses, they can deliver more efficient lessons that leave you more time to really dig into topics that you're struggling to comprehend. This means you can work at a pace that's comfortable for you, so you won't have to move on to new topics before you're ready to.
Sacramento LSAT tutors can accommodate your individual learning style, too. Everyone tends to learn in their own way; you could find auditory instruction to be particularly helpful, in which case your mentor could place an emphasis on back-and-forth discussions and engage you in a conversational debate to hone your argumentative skills.
If you're a visually oriented learner, on the other hand, they could put together sets of flashcards to help you memorize key LSAT concepts, and create diagrams and flowcharts that model analytical methods that you can employ on the exam.
What kinds of skills can Sacramento LSAT tutors near me help me study?
The LSAT is broken up into several sections, as follows: Logical Reasoning, Analytical Reasoning, Reading Comprehension, a Writing Sample, and an Unscored Random section that will be unmarked, but which will deliver experimental questions that may be used on future LSATs.
Although your test results won't be considered valid until you send in your Writing Sample, you'll have up to a year to complete it after you take the exam. We'll give a brief overview of some of these sections here, so you can get an idea of what you'll be up against and what assistance Sacramento LSAT tutoring can provide.
The Logical Reasoning section is split into two parts, which cumulatively allow 70 minutes for completion. The questions that you'll see in this section are primarily oriented around arguments. You'll have to break down arguments into their smallest pieces so that you can analyze them in-depth. You'll have to be able to identify patterns, suss out poor arguments or misunderstandings of information, comment on how the provided information could be interpreted differently, note what basic assumptions arguments are relying on, and much more.
Sacramento LSAT tutors can review sample arguments with you and teach you how to read questions exclusively in terms of how they relate to the argument at hand - it's not uncommon for the LSAT to provide you with answers that are correct on their own, but don't actually entirely refer to the argument they're addressing. Careful reading is a must, and a private instructor can provide tips on how to scan arguments quickly without missing critical information.
The Analytical Reasoning section will present you with structures of relationships or conditional statements and will ask you to draw conclusions or make inferences based on those relationships. This often takes the form of logic games that you may already be familiar with. To give a basic example, you might be provided with a set of named characters and asked to determine how to seat them around a table given certain restraints - "Sally can't sit next to Harry, but must sit across from Susan," and so on.
These sorts of analytical problems can be challenging, and the level of abstraction involved can make it easy to lose your train of thought and get mixed up. Sacramento LSAT tutoring can help you develop methods for notating these questions as you work, so you can discover the techniques that work best for you, like drawing diagrams of relationships. You'll have 35 minutes to complete this section.
The Reading Comprehension section will give you 35 minutes to read a series of passages and answer related questions. You'll have to show your ability to describe the central arguments of a written work, note subtexts, reason with analogy, comment on the voice of the author, extrapolate from the text, and the like.
Sacramento LSAT tutors can teach you active reading techniques that can assist you in reading quickly but accurately, so you can save time on the Reading Comprehension section and have more opportunity to think over your answers. You can go over LSAT-style sample passages together, so they can point out the kinds of information you should be scanning for when you sit for the exam.
