Neil distills the information you need to know to do well in a way that you can't find in any LSAT prep book. He teaches you how to approach the test by building a solid foundation in logic. Not only that, but he was always willing to be accommodating for any schedule changes, so it's always possible to sneak a meeting in. Neil is so great that I was even willing to make an hour long round trip for our sessions!

Amazing LSAT tutor!
Neil was an amazing LSAT tutor. He really helped me improve my score in both the LR/LG sections, which I was struggling with the most. He gave me easy tips on how to approach the different question types and worked through questions I had trouble with. He gave me a solid foundation on understanding the logic behind the LR section and provided me with homework to help improve my skills. Thank you Neil!

Very Efficient and made sure I understood before he moved on to the next lesson!!!
Neil was great he explained topics, that I didn't understand in the Argument section that gave me insight to where I had been going wrong! This made things very clear for me to understand from a perspective that was clear to me! He was excellent and very, very, thorough!!!

First Session
My first session with Neil went really well. Neil made good use of every minute of our session, and some of the strategies he used to teach the concepts made them exceptionally easy to understand. I look forward to working with Neil as I prepare for the February 2024 LSAT.

A Verbal Genius, Brilliant Teacher and Lovely Human Being!
Just WOW!!! Neil took me from a V28 to a V38 on the GMAT in just 5 sessions and would have taken me to a perfect verbal score if I had more time; I am confident of that. If you are looking to master the complicated verbal section for which you only find complex and absolutely inconsistent explanations online, you would be foolish not to hire Neil. On top of being a masterful teacher, he is very kind and extremely funny! Do not look any further in your hunt for the ideal verbal coach.

GMAT Verbal God
Imagine a world where GMAT Verbal actually makes sense. If you're using the so-called 'top' verbal programs or resources, you’ll just want to tear your hair out. Between arbitrary style rules and contradictory explanations, you will drive yourself crazy trying to navigate the bizarre world of GMAT verbal. Enter the one true verbal god, Neil. Rather than confusing you with random rules, Neil offers a singular, unifying theory (linguistic rather than grammarian) that makes everything in Verbal Land click. No more scratching your head at abstruse OG explanations. Hire Neil, and you'll learn so much you'll beg him to charge you more. Under his guidance, my score went from a 41 to a 47.

Invaluable Guidance and Support
Neil, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your invaluable guidance and support throughout my GMAT journey, particularly in the Verbal section. Your expertise and dedication have played a pivotal role in helping me achieve a score of 730, with an impressive 41 on the Verbal. Reflecting on my progress, I can't help but be amazed at the transformation from my initial score of 590 in December, with a mere 30 on the Verbal section. Your commitment to providing detailed explanations and your flexibility in tailoring the tutoring sessions to my needs have been instrumental in this remarkable improvement. Breaking the 700 barrier seemed like a daunting task, but your guidance made it not only achievable but a reality. Once again, thank you for your support, patience, and expertise. I am truly grateful for your contribution to my success on the GMAT. I look forward to applying the skills I've acquired not only in my academic pursuits but also in the challenges that lie ahead.

Knowledgeable
Had a great lesson for preparation for the LSAT’s. He takes his time and ensures that what he explains is understood. Stops in between to make sure I understood everything in detail. Look forward to future lessons.

GMAT Verbal guru
After spending months studying for GMAT verbal, the highest score I was able to get was a V35. However, I knew that I could get a higher Verbal score, and I just needed some expert guidance and coaching to do so. With Neil's help, he broke down Sentence Correction to me in such a way that it went from my most prominent weakness to my greatest strength in GMAT verbal. He also helped me develop a strategy in order to spend less time on Critical Reasoning which was really helpful in the exam. After all, in less than two weeks with Neil, my score went from a V35 to a v41 (94th percentile). He's a great teacher, and you can tell he's very experienced and knows this stuff inside out. His homework was practical and helped me develop quickly. Thank you so much, Neil!
