BA Cornell University • Juris Doctor, Law University of Chicago Law School
1+ Years Tutoring

Currently a second-year law student at the University of Chicago, Elena tackled the LSAT recently enough to remember exactly where the logic games and conditional reasoning trips people up. She teaches Analytical Reasoning by breaking each game into setup diagrams and inference chains, so students stop staring at the board and start eliminating answers with confidence. Her perfect 1600 SAT speaks to her comfort with high-stakes standardized tests, and her 4.9 rating shows that approach translates to her students.

Viktor
BA University of Chicago
7+ Years Tutoring

I'm referring to math, of course, but I didn't always like the subject. Until about age 16, I thought of math as a boring, mind-numbing process of blindly memorizing formulas and then forgetting them after the test, but a series of wonderful teachers showed me the truth. I had thought that everything in math was invented arbitrarily just to torture students, but actually it all made sense in a deep way. When I caught a glimpse of what math really was, I found it irresistible and I ended up majoring in math in college at UChicago. I'm currently a Master's student in Computer Science at NYU.

Spencer
BA University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a math tutor who is currently attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and majoring in Environmental Engineering. I have been tutoring math for over four years, both at Fenwick High School (where I attended) as a peer tutor and with Mathnasium. I teach Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calc, and Calculus 1 + 2, and I also cover all sections of the ACT. I prefer to take an involved approach to tutoring -- that is, rather than have my students sit and listen to me talk, I prefer to actively engage them with problems. I believe that the best way to learn is to do, and I love to use this philosophy in my tutoring. However, I am willing to adapt to whatever style my students prefer -- if my students learn best from lectures, then lectures will be what we do. Working with clients to discover the way they learn best is one of my favorite parts of tutoring.

Sahibzada
MS Northwestern University
7+ Years Tutoring

I've been working with students for over seven years, from middle school all the way through college, across subjects like math, calculus, statistics, linear algebra, chemistry, and physics, with a lot of SAT and ACT prep mixed in. My background is perhaps a little unconventional. I have two bachelor's degrees, one in Engineering and one in Communication Studies, plus a Master's in Design. That combination means I can guide you through challenging technical material and communicate it in a way that is easy to grasp. What I care most about is helping students get to a place where they don't need me anymore. I know that sounds like a strange thing for a tutor to say, but I think it's the right goal. I'm not here to walk you through steps to copy down. I want you to understand why something works, because that's what holds up under pressure, on a test you haven't seen before. If you're ready to ace that test or prove that theorem that's been bugging you, reach out and let's work together

Mahalia
BA Northwestern University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am comfortable tutoring a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about writing and language, and I truly believe that strong writing skills are an asset in every area of life. Through my experience as an after-school program manager, I learned to build relationships and work well with students, parents, and teachers to meet student goals. In response to the pandemic, I quickly learned ways to adapt my educational youth work to a virtual setting. My social work background helps me connect with students on a personal and social-emotional level, which lays a trusting foundation for real growth and learning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and study intensity, but most students see meaningful gains with personalized instruction focused on their specific weak areas. Many students improve by 5-10 points or more when working with a tutor who can identify whether your challenges are with logic games, reading comprehension, or logical reasoning—and tailor strategies accordingly. The key is consistent practice combined with targeted feedback on your approach, not just drilling more problems.

Your first session focuses on assessment and strategy. A tutor will review your diagnostic test results, identify which sections are causing the most trouble, and discuss your target score and law school timeline. You'll also learn about the test format, question types, and get a sense of which study approaches might work best for your learning style—so you leave with a clear roadmap, not just homework.

Logic games are highly learnable with the right system and practice. A tutor can teach you diagramming techniques, help you recognize game types quickly, and build your speed through targeted drills—moving from understanding the concepts to executing them under timed conditions. Many students find that personalized instruction on game setup and strategy is the breakthrough they need, since logic games reward systematic thinking more than raw aptitude.

Reading comprehension improves through active reading practice and learning to identify what the LSAT actually tests—main ideas, structure, and author tone—rather than trying to remember every detail. A tutor can teach you annotation strategies, help you recognize question patterns, and give you feedback on why you're missing questions (wrong scope, misread tone, overlooked evidence). With consistent practice and strategic feedback, most students see steady improvement in this section.

Timing improves when you stop rushing and instead focus on accuracy first, then speed. A tutor can help you understand your natural pace, identify where you're losing time (rereading, overthinking, or struggling with specific question types), and develop section-specific strategies—like whether to do logic games first or save them for last based on your strengths. Pacing is deeply personal, and working with someone who can watch your process makes a huge difference.

Most students benefit from taking 15-20+ full practice tests under timed conditions, spaced throughout their study period using spaced repetition principles. A tutor can help you schedule these strategically—using early tests for diagnostic purposes, middle tests to practice new strategies, and final tests to simulate test day conditions. Quality review of each test matters more than quantity; a tutor can pinpoint exactly why you missed questions so you don't repeat the same mistakes.

Test anxiety often stems from uncertainty about the material or your approach. A tutor builds confidence by ensuring you've mastered the content, practiced extensively under timed conditions, and developed reliable strategies you can trust on test day. They can also help you develop a pre-test routine and discuss mental strategies for staying calm when you encounter a tough question—so you're walking in prepared, not hoping for the best.

Look for tutors with strong LSAT scores (typically 165+), law school experience, and a track record of helping students improve. Beyond credentials, the best tutors understand the test deeply, can explain why answers are right or wrong, and adapt their teaching to your learning style. Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors in Chicago who have proven experience raising LSAT scores and can work around your schedule as you prepare for law school applications.
