Real Students - Real Results

This is a sampling of actual students at various starting points.

Actual Student Testimonials:

 
Sarah Brown (169):
 
"Working with Jeff at Metroplex LSAT was a great experience. From the start he was responsive and flexible with scheduling. After meeting with me one time he was able to determine my strengths and areas of improvement and from there developed a lesson plan specific to those. He explained things in ways that made sense, and if something wasn't 'clicking' he would think of another way to teach it. In addition to efficient one-on-one lessons, Metroplex LSAT also provided me with ample study material to work on at my leisure. I cannot imagine a better preparation course for the LSAT than one tailored to my individual needs. I went in with a goal score and ended up making 4 points above that! I am so grateful to Metroplex LSAT and Jeff for all of the work they did to help me surpass my goal."
 
Jamie Drillette (172):
 
"I felt like Jeff evaluated and addressed my needs on a very specific and individualized level. We were able to focus on areas where I was weak, and work towards my goals. I know I wouldn't have gotten this type of customized program in a class setting."
 
Derjuan Tharrington (157, improved from 139):
 
“OMG!!! I can’t believe this! Thank you Jeff" (after improving 18 points from his first disappointing score, which came after 8 weeks with a big test preparation company)
 
D'Laney Gielow (171):
 
"Got a 171. I'll take it! Thanks again for all your help!"

Kevin W.:
"I greatly enjoyed my time working with Jeff! During our sessions, he was always locked in and looking for anyway to help. I was impressed with his ability to cater his teaching style to whatever he felt would bring the most success for myself. He was always available to help even outside our sessions and he provided more than enough practice to help me feel prepared. He was very funny/kind and a great tutor! With his help, I finally got out of the 150s and into the 160s!I highly recommend him to all who are looking for individualized LSAT help!"  

Connor B.:
"Working with Jeff was a great experience and the highlight of my studying for the LSAT! He was influential and helped me raise my score into the 170s. He always came prepared and really helped tailor the material towards my individual needs. Whether you’re starting from day one or are looking for that last bump in your score, Jeff can definitely help you achieve your goal. His methodical approach and ability to see where my strengths and weaknesses were was highly influential to my final score! There was never a dull moment, and Jeff always managed to keep me engaged and wanting to keep studying!"

Grayson L. (169):
"Thank you so much, Jeff. I couldn’t have scored this (169) without your help. I am more than happy to be a reference for you!"
 
Patrick Leahy (179, improved from 162):
 
"Kyle is a real pro. Rather than teaching generic tricks and test-taking tips, Kyle tailors lessons to students' individual needs. With his help, I was able to go from a 162 to a 179, and earned a full scholarship to a Top 14 school. " 
 
Jacob Aronson (177, improved from 166):
 
"Kyle was great to work with and I highly recommend his tutoring services. Kyle helped me understand the test questions in a much clearer way and greatly improved my efficiency and time management. I had previously self-studied for the LSAT and got a 166. After working with Kyle for a month or two before the next exam, I increased my score to a 177. I've since been admitted to most of the top-ranked schools, including Columbia, Chicago, UVA, Penn, and Berkeley."
