Logical Reasoning rewards the ability to spot exactly where an argument falls apart — an unsupported assumption, a scope shift, a correlation mistaken for causation. Amber's legal training in family law sharpened her instinct for dissecting these flaws, and she teaches students to diagram conditional reasoning and identify argument structures so they can move through LR sections with precision and speed.

I am a current third-year student at Virginia Commonwealth University. I am in the BS/MD Guaranteed Admissions program for Medicine at VCU, and I am majoring in Biology with a minor in Business and a minor in Dance. I am originally from Phoenix, Arizona and I have a passion for teaching. I have had lots of experience with tutoring and also in a large variety of subjects. I worked at a place called "The Tutoring Center" for 8 months where I had the opportunity to teach students aged 5 through 18 in varying levels of Math, English, and Writing. I have also been now tutoring with Varsity for nearly 2 years. While I tutor in a large variety of subjects, I am especially passionate about teaching Math, Chemistry, Biology, and also tutoring in Standardized Test prep such as for the SAT, PSAT, and ACT.
I am currently working on my Doctor of Pharmacy Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, where I attained my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. VCU is where I have held bioinorganic research positions as well as teaching positions. I acted as a teaching assistant in various chemistry and biology classes while studying and am currently an adjunct faculty teaching chemistry courses for the university. In addition to Varsity Tutors, I tutor for PCG education where I prepare students at J L Francis Elemetnary School for their mathematics SOLs. Throughout my different experiences with teaching and tutoring, I have found that each individual requires a different teaching style. Adjusting styles to accommodate different learning styles can be difficult at start, but overtime it helps the success of students to achieve their goals.
I am currently applying to medical schools in hopes of attending in the Fall of 2015. Helping my younger brother manage his genetic disorder, in addition to years of teaching special needs students at summer camp, has inspired me to pursue a career as a Pediatrician with a focus in Medical Genetics.
I am a sophomore electrical engineering student and member of the honors college at Virginia Commonwealth University. I recently graduated from Maggie L. Walker Governor's School in June of 2017. I have a passion for mathematics, especially calculus, and am excited to share my knowledge with others.
I am currently preparing to begin a Master's of Teaching program at VCU this fall and have continued to excel in the math and history courses I need to round out my teaching endorsements. Because my future career path focuses on teaching at the high school level, I have a preference for tutoring math (especially algebra through calculus) and history, along with writing and my current subject of philosophy. Besides my career motivations, I find that I stand out the most as a tutor in these areas because of my capability in clearly presenting complex material and my ability to grasp the diverse perspectives of my students.
I am a recent graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, where I earned a Bachelors of Science in Biology. Throughout my three years of undergrad, I have been a preceptor for Cell Biology and Genetics. In addition, I was a supplemental instruction leader in CHEM 101 and CHEM 102. I am currently a Medical Scribe, but I will be attending VCOM for medical school starting Fall 2018.
I am a 19 year old student taking a year off from college to explore opportunities in the intersection between art and cognitive studies. I am currently residing in Los Angeles, but traveled from Charlottesville, Virginia where I was studying Cognitive Science and Studio Art at University of Virginia. I am patient, flexible, and love working with students in different subjects, but especially math. I prefer to cater the way I teach a student based on how they learn, whether it be by visuals, repetition, etc. I create methods that are out of the box if a student struggles with the way she/he are learning in school since school tends to teach in a uniform method rather than on an individualized basis.
I am an avid enthusiast for following your passions, no matter what they are. I enjoy teaching and spending time with others. I have a great vast amount of experience tutoring other peers, students, children, etc. I hope that I can help others reach their goals in learning!
I am currently a lead preschool teacher. I received my Bachelor's in Psychology from VCU and am looking to return to school to further my education. While in college, I worked as a Supplemental Instruction leader, teaching general biology and anatomy. I have also worked in an after school program with elementary age children, but I have my fondest memories volunteering as a counselor for Camp Kesem. In my own experience, I loved school and now I love teaching even more at all age levels! I especially enjoy the challenge of getting creative to discover what approach and mediums work best for each student. I am available for in person as well as online tutoring.
I am a graduate of Tufts University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English as well as a minor in History. Since graduation, I have worked as a 7th grade Reading Language Arts teacher in Dallas Texas at a newly formed public all boys school. This has provided me with great experience and insight into how students best learn and how to create culturally responsive lessons that students will engage with. I am most passionate about English, Literature, History, and Spanish. In my experience, working to prepare students for state standardized tests has had the additional benefit of helping students to discover what they enjoy reading about. This increase in intrinsic motivation to read has had an important impact on struggling students. I am dedicated towards ensuring that students are provided with an education that increases their quality of life.
I am a two-time graduate of James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, receiving a bachelor's degree in English in 2008 and a master's degree in secondary education in 2009. Since graduation, I have worked teaching high school English and coaching wrestling in a relatively poor and rural district just south of Richmond. Though I am fully qualified and capable of tutoring any subject related to English, one of the things I have enjoyed the most success with as a teacher is preparation for standardized tests. I also very much enjoy teaching British literature and the writing process. There is no better feeling to me than seeing the gratitude in a student's face when he or she exceeds expectations and can go on to complete the next step in his or her educational journey. Outside of teaching, I am a rabid baseball fan (Let's go, Mets!), I love going to concerts, and I enjoy hanging out with my cats.
I am often asked by friends to help them with their math homework. I have spent countless hours teaching calculus to engineering, computer science, physics, and economics majors. Being one of seven children, I have been helping my sibling with math for as long as I can remember. I believe that a solid understanding of mathematics is crucial to success, and the demand for people with quantitative skills is only growing.
I am confident that I can help raise your exam scores and improve your overall test-taking abilities.
I am today, so tutoring seems like a good way to give others the same support I received.
I am able to help kids with the material when they don't understand what the teacher is saying.
I am a graduate of Brigham Young University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with an emphasis in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic. As part of my coursework, I studied Arabic for three years and spent a semester in Amman, Jordan. After graduating, I worked on a U.S. Senate campaign, then interned at a think tank and congressional office in Washington, DC. While at the think tank, I co-authored an article that was published in US News and World Report. I am currently pursuing my juris doctorate (JD) at the University of Georgia School of Law.
I am available to help students with any topics they are struggling with in their high school or early college-level Physics courses.
Logical Reasoning is where most LSAT points are won or lost, and Marin — a current Harvard Law student — tackles it by drilling students on argument anatomy: identifying the conclusion, spotting assumption gaps, and recognizing common flaw patterns like causal reasoning errors or equivocation. She treats each stimulus as a mini legal argument that can be taken apart piece by piece. Her own 1530 SAT speaks to the kind of analytical precision she brings to standardized testing overall.
I am a recent cum laude graduate of the University of Amsterdam's Masters in Economics Program where I specialized in Monetary Policy and Banking. While there, I worked as a teaching assistant and tutored in economics and mathematics. Prior to that, I worked as an ESL teacher for two years in Russia and China.
I'm a current student at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Statistics and Machine Learning, with minors in Business and Artificial Intelligence. I'm passionate about helping high school students succeed in computer science and math, and I've seen firsthand how a strong foundation can make all the difference. With 4+ years of mentoring experience, including leading the largest high school debate team in my state, I adapt to different learning styles and focus on building confidence through patience and clear communication. I strive to make learning engaging, supportive, and enjoyable. Outside of academics, I'm a dancer of 15 years who occasionally teaches ballet, an avid gym goer and hiker with over 200 miles hiked and visits to all top 10 national parks, and a fan of the NFL and NBA. I also love working on projects like coding games for hackathons and exploring startup ideas, bringing that same energy and creativity into my tutoring.
As a dedicated tutor pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University, I am passionate about empowering students to excel in subjects like AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, and AP Physics C: Mechanics. I also am looking forward to teaching various electrical engineering and computing concepts. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I focus on creating a supportive learning environment where students can build confidence and develop critical thinking skills. I hope that I can create an environment where learning is fulfilling and isn't done as a means to get a good grade for a class, but rather to build a rich mental model of the world. I love answer questions, exploring ideas, and creating real world connections from what students are learning to where it is applied. I hope to use my wide range of experience in the arts, sports, and engineering, to answer a plethora of question and never shy away from any question!
I am ready to help all students by answering their questions and frequently addressing some questions to them....
I currently work as a Software Engineer and I have been tutoring students for quite some time and many have seen significant improvements in grades and overall understanding of concepts. I assess students' needs and level of knowledge, work to create customized lesson plans for each student, and provide material to improve my students' comprehension of topics taught in school. I also offer tips and tricks to improve both accuracy and speed in both English and Mathematics and supplement students' school work in providing homework that aim to reinforce concepts and stimulate creativity.

I can offer tips and tricks to make this possible! Feel free to reach out with questions about my qualifications or to get to know me! I'm looking forward to working with you!
I am a current junior at Yale University majoring in biomedical engineering. I have taken all math classes up to Discrete Math and have over 7 years of tutoring experience across all fields. I work hard to ensure my tutoring is effective for every one of my students. I love finding creative ways to help students learn and also engage with their subjects. It is my goal that they will not only improve in their subjects, but leave with a new sense of appreciation for learning. I specialize in tutoring mathematics. Mathematics courses that I tutor in include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, precalculus, and calculus 1/AB. I also aid in college exam prep, including the SAT and ACT. I pride myself in being a patient and kind tutor. I love getting to know students and finding creative ways to efficiently teach them, while also growing a passion for the subject. It is my strong belief that anyone can learn anything with the right teacher! When I am not doing research with a biomedical engineering related lab (domestically and abroad), I love to run and also play music including cello and classical singing.
I am passionate about helping others and would love to help you to achieve your academic goals! Writing and language are my strongest suits, and I have plenty of experience working with kids and communicating with individuals of all age groups. You will gain a source of encouragement as well as practical help from my tutoring services.
I am a chemistry and environmental science student at the University of Virginia. In high school I completed the IB diploma program and took chemistry, math, english and history at the higher level. I tutor in Middle school math, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, IB Math (HL,SL and Studies), Calculus 1, Calculus 2, IB Chemistry (SL and HL), IB Environmental Systems and Societies, Ecology, and SAT math test prep. I have experience tutoring students in IB courses and non-IB courses. When I tutor I try to lead you to right answer by asking you questions to determine what you already know, clearing up misconceptions, and getting you to think critically about the material. This tutoring strategy is particularly effective for IB exams or application questions that test critical thinking in addition to your mastery of the subject matter.
From the moment I began helping classmates in middle school study for math quizzes, I realized how much I enjoyed guiding others toward understanding. Over time, that spark grew into a genuine passion for education. What drives me most is witnessing the transformation in a student's confidencethe moment when confusion gives way to clarity, and they begin to believe in their own abilities. Tutoring, for me, is not simply about helping students achieve better grades; it's about empowering them to trust their capacity to learn and grow. My journey as a tutor began in high school, where I volunteered as a math tutor for underclassmen struggling with algebra and geometry. I worked one-on-one with students after school, helping them tackle difficult problems and build foundational skills. This early experience taught me how patience and consistent encouragement could make a lasting difference. In college, I served as a teaching assistant for general chemistry at the University of Virginia.
I am in graduate school and she is in undergraduate college, we have regular online sessions where I explain her the concepts as best as possible.
Logical Reasoning questions reward the ability to spot exactly how an argument is constructed — its assumption, its flaw, and the one answer choice that actually addresses both. Stephanie unpacks each stimulus as a piece of rhetoric, identifying the gap between premise and conclusion before even looking at the answers. Her training in linguistics and syntax makes her especially precise at distinguishing the subtle language differences that separate a correct weakener from a tempting but irrelevant one.
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia (UVA) originally from Fairfield, Connecticut. I am pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Global Public Health on the pre-med track with the hopes of becoming a physician (hopefully in pediatrics). At UVA, I am involved in youth mentoring as a Program Director of "GEMS" (Girls Excited about Math and Science), where I teach exciting lessons and conduct experiments with a class of elementary school girls in a variety of scientific topics, while I am also the Head Program Director of Youth Mentoring at UVA. I was also involved in tutoring throughout high school, where I worked with a group of special needs students. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Science (especially Biology and Chemistry), and Humanities, which are most strongly reflected in my own studies. In my experience in the areas of reading and writing in particular, strong literary thinking skills helped me to be more creative and set myself apart in many of my applications to college, so I am passionate about helping students of any age to become stronger writers. I am also passionate about enhancing students' skills in critical thinking, especially through STEM topics, which can set students up for success in any difficult course or standardized test. I hope to instill a strong appreciation for education and learning within each of my students, and I believe that the first step is to help students feel more confident in their areas of interest while setting goals for the future. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, traveling, painting, and playing soccer.
I am a recent college graduate from Columbia University with a lot of experience in research and writing. My major was Human Rights and I am passionate about the issues that I engage with. I received my associate's degree from Bergen Community College in 2014 and my Bachelors from Columbia in 2017. At Bergen Community, I worked in the tutoring center focusing on assisting students with writing in any subject. I also tutor English and the SAT.
Hello! My name is Charlie, and I am a junior at Duke University studying Economics. I specialize in SAT prep and have tutored 10+ students for over 300 hours. My tutoring style is flexible and low-pressure. I focus on building real understanding, not just memorizing steps, and I will meet you where you are and adjust each session to your learning style. I look forward to meeting you!
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
Logical Reasoning is half the LSAT, and every question hinges on spotting the gap between an argument's evidence and its conclusion. Keith's legal training at Cornell sharpened exactly this skill, and he walks students through each question type — sufficient assumption, flaw, strengthen, weaken — until the underlying logic becomes second nature.
I am in the process now of applying for PhD programs in Computational Biology. I have done research in the field of freshwater ecology and am anticipating the publication of a paper I co-authored in the next several months.
I am a 2019 graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where I received a dual degree BFA in Vocal Performance and BA in Creative Writing. I also achieved a GPA of 3.92, 3 semesters on the Dean's List, induction into Phi Beta Kappa as well as Sigma Tau Delta (the English honors society) and Pi Kappa Lambda (the Music honors society), Carnegie Mellon University Honors, and Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences Honors. I graduated Bloomfield Hills High School with a 3.96 GPA in 2015, and was a National Merit Finalist as well as a Presidential Scholarship candidate, thanks to my top test scores.
I am a member of the Brown Class of 2018, pursuing a bachelors degree in mathematics. I graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 2014. (I am able to help anyone with the boarding school admissions process.) Outside of academia, I pursue my passions in dance, travel, volunteering, reading and art. My tutoring subjects are mathematics (from elementary school to college level) and standardized testing (SAT, SAT subject tests, PSAT, and SSAT). I have tutored mainly high school students in the New York State Regents exams and AP Calculus, although I also have experience with students in middle and elementary school. Since I have been through many school systems, including public, private, studying abroad, and boarding school, I have learned many different techniques and can attack a problem from various angles. Ultimately, my teaching style is full of tips and tricks to break down complicated topics into simple, more understandable ideas.
I'm eager to teach students how to make connections and understand any part of the world they need!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Logical Reasoning section makes up half of your LSAT score (two of the four scored sections), testing your ability to analyze arguments, identify flaws, and draw conclusions. Mastering this section is critical because strong performance here directly impacts your overall score and law school prospects. Many test-takers find Logical Reasoning challenging because it requires both speed and precision—you have roughly 8.75 minutes per question to read, analyze, and select the correct answer.
The biggest hurdles are pacing (finishing all questions within the time limit), distinguishing between similar answer choices, and understanding the specific wording of question stems. Many students struggle with question types like Necessary Assumption, Sufficient Assumption, and Weaken the Argument because they require different analytical approaches. Additionally, test anxiety can hurt performance on this section since it demands intense focus and quick decision-making under pressure.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to diagnose your specific weak spots—whether that's a particular question type, timing issues, or conceptual gaps—and build a targeted study plan around them. Rather than generic test prep, you get customized strategies for your learning style, real-time feedback on your reasoning process, and practice tailored to the areas holding you back. Research on effective learning shows that individualized instruction significantly accelerates improvement compared to self-study alone.
Score improvement depends on your starting point, study intensity, and how quickly you apply feedback—but most students see meaningful gains within 4-8 weeks of consistent, focused work. If you're scoring in the mid-140s, a realistic goal might be 5-10 point improvement; if you're already in the 160s, gains are typically smaller but still achievable. The key is identifying exactly which question types and reasoning patterns are costing you points, then drilling those systematically with expert guidance.
Your first session typically starts with a diagnostic conversation about your target score, timeline, and current study approach. You'll likely work through a few Logical Reasoning questions together so your tutor can assess your reasoning process, pacing, and where you're making mistakes. From there, you'll develop a customized study plan that identifies your priority areas and outlines a realistic path to improvement.
Yes—start by mastering the most common question types: Weaken the Argument, Strengthen the Argument, Necessary Assumption, and Sufficient Assumption. These account for a large portion of the section and understanding their distinct approaches will build your foundation. Once you're solid on those, you can move to less frequent types like Parallel Reasoning and Principle questions. A tutor can help you prioritize based on which types appear most in your practice tests and which ones you find most challenging.
Practice tests are essential—they help you build stamina, identify patterns in your mistakes, and measure progress over time. Most students benefit from taking full practice tests under timed conditions at least once a week, then reviewing every question (especially ones you got wrong or guessed on) to understand the reasoning. Between full tests, drilling individual Logical Reasoning sections and question types helps you refine specific skills without the fatigue of a full exam.
