“The absolute best resource for students who need to get past a plateau during LSAT prep.”
I’ve been coaching people to succeed on the LSAT since 2017, and tutoring general test prep since 2006.
I self-prepped for the LSAT and scored in the 97th percentile. I’m not a lawyer. I didn’t go to law school. I’m just really good at taking tests—and at helping you get the score you want.
All the prep you’ve done so far hasn’t worked because it wasn’t made for the only person who thinks like you: you!
Tutors just explain things, and explanations don’t usually generate learning. I don’t tutor; I coach. I listen and observe. I learn how you think. And then I tailor my coaching specifically to you.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I have shifted focus away from LSAT coaching since mid-2023, as it doesn’t work well with having small children at home. That being said, I still love the work and am willing to discuss the possibility of working with you at a premium rate. If you’re seriously committed to maximizing your score, I invite you to reach out.
For some free LSAT help, check out Reddit. I’m not as active as I used to be, but you can PM me and I’d be happy to spend a few minutes answering your questions. I’m MichaelMarvoshLSAT.
Everyone finds different parts of the LSAT more or less challenging, which is why 1-on-1 coaching is the best way to address your specific needs. Though I have years of experience, my style doesn't work best with everyone. That's why I sit down with every potential client for a 60-minute consultation. This allows both of us to determine if we will work well together. Book your consultation now, or give me a call!
“I can not recommend Michael enough!!! He has helped me improve my score by 13 points!!! He was patient with me even during the times I was completely down and ready to give up. Mike’s services are worth every penny!!!!”
“Amazing tutor. Even though I was was only able to do 2 sessions, the strategies Michael taught me really helped me save time and focus on the majority of the questions! Highly recommend.

“Worth every penny for LSAT tutoring. Just a couple hundred bucks with Michael helped me earn thousands of dollars in scholarships.”
“Michael helped me immensely in ways I couldn’t have progressed otherwise with my online learning program. Having someone help you with pointed tutoring is invaluable when it comes to this test.
I want to say that he helped me most with logic games, but that wouldn’t begin to cover it. While he taught me how to approach them in ways that my online system couldn’t capture and worked with me through it question by question, I got to the point where I was doing them perfectly, he also helped me perfect logical reasoning and reading comp in ways that didn’t make sense online. I could give you my pointers but Michael did such a good job pointing them specifically to how I approached the test that his pointers for me probably wouldn’t even be how he would tell you how to improve.
I started my first practice test after using 7sage for three months and scored a 146, and after three months with Michael’s instruction my practice test scores were up to 163.
Do yourself a favor and get pointed, personal instruction from Michael that online programs simply can’t offer.

“Michael offered an incredibly personalized tutoring experience, which enhanced my score significantly. He took the time to assess my unique learning style and utilized strategies that I was able to understand and implement. He is very kind, patient, professional, and approachable. Michael is amazing and I would absolutely recommend him to others.”
“~ I went from 158 to 169 after tutoring with Michael Marvosh ~
My LSAT diagnostic score was 148, untimed. After taking a prep course, reading a couple of books, and taking 30 practice tests, my score band was 163-168. On my first LSAT in July 2019, I scored 158. I didn’t reach my potential, and without knowing where I was going wrong I couldn’t fix it…that’s where Michael Marvosh came in.
During our first consultation, we dove right in and reviewed some of the LR questions that I had missed on my most recent PT. Michael’s unique ability to adapt and improvise was immediately evident. If I didn’t understand something as it was explained one way, he delivered it in a different way—and if that way didn’t work, he then had yet another way to explain it. For one single question, he could clearly articulate how to view the problem from multiple different perspectives, and he gave a variety of strategies to use in order to arrive at the correct answer choice. He taught me how to quickly and effectively change my approach in response to what each question demanded so that I could correctly answer questions within the time that was given. My LR went from -6/8 to -0/4 for both sections. After working on LR we moved on to Reading Comprehension which is where I saw more big gains from working with Michael. He taught me how to read the passages so that I understood, and actually retained, the information. Then he devised an RC drill plan for me to apply the skills that he had taught me. My RC improved from -7 to -0/3.
Some tutors have one formula, one standard approach for everyone; but the human psyche does not exist in one rigid and static state, so an effective approach to education has to be flexible. It was Michael’s adaptive teaching style that helped me achieve my potential. When I would have conceded defeat, he kept me pushing forward—his composed demeanor and deliberate method ensured that I fully understood each question I got wrong.
I can honestly say that the improvement in my LSAT score from 158 to 169 is a direct result of Michael’s unique coaching and tutoring expertise, and I recommend him with absolute confidence.”
“Michael has been a tremendous help for me in my LSAT studies! He has helped me raise my score by a significant margin. His tutoring style is patient and understanding and that has been one of the most important factors in my continued sessions with him! I would 11/10 recommend. He is absolutely worth the investment!”
“First I took an LSAT prep course at a university. Then I used Blueprint, Powerscore and LSAT Trainer. Though those taught me how to do the test, they didn’t help me budge my score above 150.
Then I decided to use tutors. After using Michael (and one more tutor), I took the real LSAT and ended in the 160s for the real test.
I learnt things from Michael that I did not from those other sources. He also taught me things I can’t learn from a book, such as mindfulness (I liked calling it “being in the present moment”).
Michael is also very professional, always prompt, and he won’t waste your time (and therefore won’t waste your money). I did have one other tutor who cost more, but I didn’t learn anything from that tutor that I couldn’t have learned from Michael. If anything, I learnt more from Michael than the other tutor (even though the other tutor was good too).
I think Michael has a science background, or at least is scientifically inclined mentally. Why does this matter? Well, chances are, if you’re taking the LSAT, I’m guessing you have a Humanities type of major, so you’re having trouble with the science passages in RC. This is exactly why you’d benefit from having someone with a scientific mind explaining it to you.
Furthermore, Michael tries to figure out how your mind works and how to teach you in a way that would make sense to you. That’s extra work on his part that other tutors might not do, but Michael is just that much of a thoughtful professional.
To be clear, no tutor, no book, and no other resource is a silver bullet that’ll get your score high. You need to do the work. Michael Marvosh is the sherpa who’ll help you climb, but you still need to climb.
Yes, having a tutor does cost money, but it was worth it. I wish I didn’t blow so much money on the books and on Blueprint and just went straight to Michael.
Bottom line: I jumped 13 points.”
“Michael is SO incredibly helpful! I hired him for LSAT tutoring and he really helped me understand where I was going wrong and come up with new strategies to help me. I 100% recommend Michael for anyone looking for a fair priced and effective LSAT tutor!”
“Michael was a fantastic tutor. Even as we worked virtually in the age of COVID, he was able to teach me multiple tips to improve accuracy and speed across the board. I wouldn’t feel nearly as comfortable heading into the LSAT if I hadn’t been tutored by Michael.”
“Michael is an amazing tutor for anyone looking to significantly increase their LSAT score. He was very flexible and adaptable to what you need as a test taker. The strategies he teaches you allow for a much more structured and practical approach to answering the various questions and sections of the LSAT. I highly suggest hiring him if you are looking to make leaps and bounds in your LSAT results.”
“Michael is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve at the LSAT. The first few tutoring sessions with Michael increased my average score by about eight points. Definitely worth the money.”
“Michael is a great tutor! I went from a 145 to a 162 with him on the LSAT. He is always ready to work and will answer any questions you have and explain how to work it out. He definitely knows what he is doing. You can trust him to be on time and work out a good schedule plan to meet your needs!”
“Michael helped so much in my LSAT preparation. He taught me new ways to approach the sections and helped break down the information to be more manageable. He had many tips for taking the test, and was even there the morning of test day to support his students. I would highly recommend him as an LSAT tutor!”
“Michael is a truly excellent tutor. He knew my goals before our first meeting, asked good questions about my previous LSAT preparation, and was able to offer actionable suggestions at our first meeting. I highly recommend the initial consultation. During our subsequent tutoring sessions, it was clear he knows the LSAT very well and had a variety of answer techniques that made my test taking more streamlined and saved me time on the LSAT. He has a great demeanor as a tutor, as well, a good communicator and observer. I recommend him highly as an LSAT tutor.
