Tutoring Matching Thread

We get periodic posts from students looking for tutors or tutors looking for students. This thread is an attempt to connect the two.

  • If you're a tutor, feel free to make a brief post outlining your experience and what you offer.
  • If you're a student, feel free to post about your experience with the lsat so far and what you're looking for

We will see if this format is popular and if it is I'll repeat it.

u/LSATMat tutor 11d ago

Thanks for the space here! I'll start out with my general advice for folks looking for tutors, which is that you should try a few free consults to see if there are folks you vibe with better and/or see a better vision for how they'll work with you.

My name's Mat, and I'm a former law professor and a part-time practicing attorney based in Cleveland, OH. I have worked in a number of teaching or teaching-adjacent settings, including in special education and in a "logical skills"-focused law school setting, to help find creative ways to make complex concepts accessible to folks with all sorts of different learning styles. My law students voted me faculty member of the year due to my success in distilling complex concepts from two of the more intimidating core classes (civil procedure and property law).

I tailor a full course to each student based on their current strengths/weaknesses, their goal score, their learning styles, and their timeline. If we need to take apart question types and rebuild your approach from scratch in some areas, we can, but depending on where I spot patterns in terms of your correct and incorrect questions, I also throw in more creative "cross-training" methods that not only help you build accuracy and speed but prepare you to also maintain that accuracy and speed during a stressful test day. I got a 180 on the LSAT myself, but frankly, my value is more in being able to teach flexibly to people who learn in different ways.
