LSAT Tutoring with Manhattan Review LSAT Tutors

Manhattan Review has developed a proprietary process on how to approach tutoring. Over the last 20 years, Manhattan Review has improved and refined this process helping thousands of satisfied students achieve elite scores and gain admission into the law schools of their dreams. So how is Manhattan Review different from the other LSAT prep services? It sounds simple, but we rigorously follow the timeless management process: gather data, plan, execute and monitor. While this sounds easy, you will see that many tutors create their lesson plans on the fly without having a clear goal and flow in mind for each individual student. Topics to be discussed are determined spontaneously rather than according to a well thought out curriculum. In contrast, the session content and the sequence in which topics are covered are clearly defined with Manhattan Review tutoring programs.

After completing an initial LSAT Prep Consultation, where we have the opportunity to get to know more about each student's goals and background, they are assigned to one of our highly qualified and experienced tutors based on the student's specific needs, strengths and weaknesses. Our tutors work closely with students to set realistic, yet ambitious goals create a strict plan that will give students the best chance of attaining them, which is based on identifying and becoming confident with any topics that are thought of as difficult for students and determining the optimal order in which the topics should be covered in order to have the sessions flow properly. The result of the planning process is a list of sessions with the content that should be covered during each one. Manhattan Review takes lesson planning seriously and opts to take a rigid, structured approach as opposed to the more relaxed, go with the flow type of sessions most other tutors employ. Each session is focused on extracting maximum potential from both the student and instructor with efficiency as a top priority. During the program the instructor will be sure to cover test taking techniques as well as the basic knowledge of the content so that students are optimally prepared to achieve those elite LSAT scores that are required for competitive Law Schools.

Manhattan Review prides itself on its highly selective hiring process of instructors and tutors. We not only expect scores in the top percentiles from our instructors, but also, and more importantly, a dedication and passion for helping students develop their test taking skills and master the content. With Manhattan Review being a boutique type company, we have the resources and patience to execute a true 360-degree evaluation with only those with both elite test-taking and tutoring skills being selected. The combination of scoring highly on the LSAT and having a successful track record teaching in the test prep industry is the combination Manhattan Review seeks out for their instructors so that we can ensure each student gets the necessary attention they deserve from an expert on both the LSAT and the process of creating a curriculum for and preparing students with a wide variety of strengths and weaknesses. Through many years of experience in the test prep world, we have learned that taking an exam and relaying the content to students are two separate skills and actually put more emphasis on those who seem to have a passion for conveying the necessary information to students in a way that is effective and efficient, but may have scored a couple of points lower on the actual LSAT.

If we go back to the time when Manhattan Review was founded, it is easier to see what sets us apart from the competition in the test prep industry. Manhattan Review was built from the ground up at Columbia Business School by someone who was actually teaching at the school. Manhattan Review's Founder was not only pedagogically trained at Columbia University but also later became a successful professor at an elite business school in Europe. Having taken part in numerous hiring committees for academics, during which he was required to evaluate teaching applicants at the university level is experience that you simply cannot acquire or simulate in another context. This is the most critical reason why Manhattan Review is seen as the best choice for your LSAT preparation.

Our tutors pride themselves on their ability to create customized lesson plans for each individual student based on their needs. This ensures that students are participating in a program that has them and their LSAT preparation as the top priority. By making use of a combination of diagnostic exams, practice questions and in-depts discussion of each student's learning style and goals, our tutors are able to accurately put forth a lesson plan that provides both efficiency and sound structure for the preparation time before the LSAT. The customized lesson plan also clearly lays out the structure and sequence in which the content would be covered during the sessions, which is based on prioritization to optimize the process for each individual student.

We understand that many students preparing for the LSAT have a full schedule through work and/or studies. This is why the flexible scheduling offered by Manhattan Review's private tutoring programs is optimal for the preparation period. Your tutor will hold you accountable for the assignments you agreed to complete outside of the sessions to keep up motivation, which is critical to the preparation process. Manhattan Review will continue to develop and improve upon the curriculum, lesson planning and teaching methods used for private tutoring students in order to stay on top of the industry, as we have since being founded in 1999.

Tutoring packages are offered by Manhattan Review in both in-person in and online settings. In past times, students showed a preference for the traditional in-person options, but there is now a growing trend toward the online version. With learning platforms becoming more and more reliable and higher quality, they are almost indistinguishable from their in-person counterpart. The online platform used for tutoring and group courses has many interactive tools including a whiteboard, on which both you and your instructor can use in the same way you would a normal sheet of paper on a desk in front of you. The video aspect, which allows you and the tutor to see each other in real time, helps deliver a more personal atmosphere, such as the one you would get while doing in-person sessions. But perhaps the biggest reason why student preference has shifted almost exclusively toward online private tutoring is that Manhattan Review has a large pool of highly qualified tutors who are well-equipped to work with students in any time zone as working through an online platform offers even more flexible scheduling because neither party needs to put in travel time. You are limited to the tutors in your area for in-person tutoring as they need to be in the same area, which is highly affected by the demand for LSAT tutoring in the city, whereas with online tutoring you have the chance to decide between a diverse set of backgrounds and teaching styles to ensure that your specific expectations are met. While there is a growing trend towards the online tutoring options and considering the arguments in this text, Manhattan Review has you covered no matter what your preference may be, and we are equally happy to match you with our expert tutors in your area for in-person sessions.
