More Testimonials from Matt’s Students

 

“Without Matt’s help, I can honestly say I don’t know how I would have navigated applying to law school, a process that Matt has become increasingly familiar with over his decade of experience both as an instructor and a mentor. Not only is he one of the most brilliant individuals I’ve ever met, he’s also funny, supportive, and down-to-earth — traits that make applying to law school feel much less stressful. In fact, working with Matt actually made the process enjoyable; because of his enthusiasm and humor, I often found myself feeling excited about attending LSAT prep sessions and meetings about my personal statement. To anyone interested in applying to law school, I’d absolutely recommend that you consider working with Matt.”

“Working with Matt was one of the best decisions I have ever made. He’s one of the smartest people I know, and has a contagious sense of humor that made our sessions fly by. Second, Matt is passionate about teaching. He is incredibly skilled at breaking down complex topics and is even better at explaining these topics to his students in a way that keeps them engaged and motivated. Finally (and most importantly), Matt is committed to helping his students succeed. There are a ton of LSAT tutors out there, but Matt is unique. He wants you to excel, not only on the LSAT but in your future career. I will always be grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from him.”

"After getting into all the T3 schools, Yale, Stanford and Harvard, I know there is a person I must thank—Matt. His LSAT tutoring was extremely helpful. As an essay advisor, Matt is amazing! He senses the good and the bad. He advises you on how to make your essays better in a very concrete and constructive way. He also tells you what to keep, and the point at which you should stop editing and leave the essay as-is. He truly cares about his clients’ success."

"Matt is without a doubt the most supportive teacher and mentor I have ever worked with. I'm a teacher myself, by the way. I found Matt's methods rigorous but focused on the skills that I needed to improve upon in preparation for the LSAT. He is honest with his assessment, provides clear guidance throughout the process, and still manages to be his students' biggest cheerleader. I gained something from him every session. He is a creative and technically brilliant writer, and my personal statement benefited enormously from his editorial feedback. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

“I started my LSAT tutoring with Matt after self-preparing for a few months with little to no improvement.

“Matt helped me build a solid foundation, giving strategic advice for each type of question. My score improved by 14 points by the end of our sessions and I was able to gain admission at Berkeley and NYU.

“But he also helped me tremendously with the law school admission process in general. (I remember frantically calling him after realizing I had missed the September LSAT registration deadline. He calmed me down and rescheduled our sessions so they'd be spread out until December.)

“I'd recommend Matt to anyone. He goes out of his way to make sure you maximize your potential, and he really has your back through this entire process.”

“Matt was my instructor in an LSAT course and my adviser during law school applications. Matt is hilarious, and you may think that’s irrelevant but it’s not. The LSAT is very difficult and confusing, but Matt’s humor made it so much fun. That aside, Matt knows this material so well. He always handled people’s questions well and offered new ways to think about problems, while keeping the class on track to get through material at a fast pace. He was extremely helpful to me when I was drafting my essays, helping me read them as law school admissions departments would read them. I knew what story I wanted to tell about myself, and the writing was all mine. His job was to read, to listen, and to offer subtle guidance, often by asking the right questions. Matt was also wildly helpful when it came to navigating things like getting scholarships from schools and knowing how that whole world works. I had a lot of success with my law school applications and am currently at a top 10 law school. I wouldn’t have gotten there without Matt and I highly recommend him as a tutor and an adviser.”

”Matt is the LSAT ninja that you want to train with! There are tutors who see teaching as a job, rather than a calling. That is not Matt. He takes the time to find different ways to explain something and will not give up until you understand the question or the mistake that led you to the wrong answer. It is evident that for Matt teaching is a passion. He genuinely wants to help you succeed and will go the extra mile to make that happen. I am currently at Michigan (Go Blue!) thanks to his help.”

“Matt is an exceptional LSAT tutor: warm, enthusiastic, engaging, and surprisingly funny. His analogies and examples made LSAT prep a much more pleasant experience than it would’ve otherwise been. What puts Matt head and shoulders above the rest is the fact that he does not ‘play the genius.’ He is an empathetic teacher, who understands why the test is challenging.”

“On my first practice test, I scored a 149 and was very discouraged. However, Matt was completely supportive. He made himself available as much as I needed. His lessons were interesting and fun. I learned so much in such a short amount of time. I took the official LSAT and scored a 165. I retook the exam and scored a 172. At the beginning of this process I would have never thought a 23 point jump was possible.”

“Before I started my LSAT prep with Matt, I got a timed practice-test score of around 148. I wasn’t finishing a single section, and felt that I had no shot on any of the logic games.  To be honest, I was very worried at that point. Matt did a good job of tamping down my anxiety. (I could see that he didn’t feel nervous about my score.) He showed how to break each test, section, and question down: to simplify my decision-making processes, while staying positive and relaxed. In the end, I brought my score up to a 164.”

Emmett


“If anyone needed motivation and was seriously not studying even though they should have, it's was me. The LSAT made me anxious, I felt comfortable with Logical Reasoning and Reading Comp but Logic Games were my bane. I had taken other LSAT prep courses (one physical and one online), and while the material was useful, something wasn't clicking. Then I started working with Matt.

”Matt is both knowledgeable and human. He can make jokes and TEACH. Rare combination. He really takes the time to work with you. I now understand and LOVE logic games! He made sure I understood the material and taught me in various ways until it all made sense.”

“I cannot recommend Matt highly enough!  He is hands-down amazing. As miserable as studying for this test can be, Matt makes class extremely fun and I actually looked forward to meeting at 6 p.m. after an eight-hour workday.  

”He is extremely positive and upbeat and he always has a goofy anecdote to lighten the mood. I have never met a person who is both brilliant and so personable. He is a surprisingly genuine human being who really cares about each of his students and their success.  Plus he has many tricks that can make even the toughest logic games seem like a piece of cake.

”Matt is also unusual because he is not a current law student or recent grad working this job for extra money.  He is a full-time tutor with over 10 years of experience teaching the LSAT. This expertise and his devotion to his students makes him a one-of-a-kind LSAT instructor.”

Elaina


“Matt's a hardcore expert in all things Logical Reasoning, Logic Games, and Reading Comp and has the evil-genius sense of humor required to ensure students maintain sanity. The guy is hilarious, which is so important if you expect to stay awake during an evening LSAT class. Going into the official exam last week, I felt fully prepared and confident because of Matt's capable instruction. You’ll for sure still cry when you eventually take the LSAT, but only because one of the questions reminds you of a Matt joke.”

“Matt proved to be an outstanding teacher. He works extremely hard, and takes a genuine, personal interest in his students' success. His classes are entertaining, well-paced, and well-planned.”

John


“Matt is one of the most intelligent people I've ever met and he has a gift for making dry things like Reading Comprehension passages interesting. I’m always cracking up at his remarks without getting off course. He can help you with specific issues or the best strategy for you personally to get to your target score. Matt is a natural teacher. He never makes anyone feel bad about themselves. The LSAT is really hard, especially at first, and even those like myself who are scoring high miss a lot of questions, which can be difficult for the overachieving types who are applying to law school. Matt never makes anyone feel bad about having a wrong answer and it instead becomes a positive learning experience.”

Sarah

 

 

“Simply put, Matt is the GOAT. He knows this test like the back of his hand, he's a joy to be around, and there is never a dull moment in class. He makes learning the LSAT as fun as it can possibly get and is the epitome of what it means to be a great teacher. (Thank you!)”

Keenan


“Matt is simply the best. Seriously, I actually enjoyed going to class because of him. He is so smart and funny, and he is able to break the material down in a way that makes it memorable and accessible. He is also a super nice guy. He took the time to learn something about everyone in the class, and really seemed invested in my personal success.”
