Unlike most tutors I had before, Shana uses her amazing analytical skills to figure out my weaknesses and help me to tackle them while constantly making sure that I stay on track. She is the most encouraging and positive teacher I have ever had! I believe that your performance on a standardized test reflects not only your knowledge, but also your self-discipline, stamina, and psychological strength. Since it is hard for us to work on all of those at the same time, it is very important and wise to have an experienced guide to observe you objectively and analytically and determine what prevented you from achieving your goals. Now, let me explain why Shana is absolutely a great choice for guiding you through the tough test prep journey. I selected her to help with my LSAT after comparing with several other tutors because she appears to be the only one who believes in my potential and articulate how her approach can help me to achieve my goals. After starting with Shana, she provides me many useful tips about test taking, such as the structural analysis of logical reasoning and reading comprehension questions. For the logic game sections, she advised me to implement a very organized set up, which will help me get the answers more quickly and efficiently. I found those recommendations also applies to real life success because understanding reading materials and being organized are two important factors in achieving career success. Furthermore, she also encourage me to change my habits towards a stress-free and disciplined life style. Though I am still preparing for the test, I live a much happier and more fulfilling life than before! Bottom line: Shana is a great choice for private tutoring. She cares about how to make you better at whatever you need help with and she feels happier than you when you make progress! Don't wait, call her now!! read more

Shana and her LSAT program made it possible for me to apply to law school with the required LSAT score after my long, hard, and painful experience with others over a two year period. Without Shana's help I would never have succeeded in achieving an acceptable score on the LSAT. Shana is an educator and a coach who knows how to get through to the student and reach their unique needs. Other service providers or courses provide you with a puppet as an instructor who is unable to understand your needs. They may not even know the material, but they are merely trained to teach the boiler plate standardized script. Shana knows both the material that she teaches and she knows how to teach the student. In certain areas of the LSAT, Shana and her staff made the material easy - this is unheard of elsewhere. Shana's material is structured properly according to how the human mind learns, and therefore, learning difficult material is possible through her. Her staff is exceptional, too. Beyond the technical side of learning, Shana's program "effectively" addresses test management, student anxiety, and time management. In the end, my LSAT score increased 20 points. Without Shana's program I would still be "on the outside looking in," and that is a bad place to be. If you want either partial tutoring or a full fledged test prep package Ginsberg Advanced Tutoring is the way to go. Save yourself the headache, despair, time, and the lost opportunity by going straight to G.A.T. to get the test score you need or acceptance into the school you wish to attend. Because I feel this strongly about GAT services, I have given Shana permission to provide my phone number to anybody who is either unsure or has additional questions concerning her services. I cannot speak highly enough of the service at Ginsberg Advanced Tutoring. read more

I want to give a big thank-you to Shana for working with me and helping me reach my goals. She has worked with me over the past year to successfully pass two Praxis exams. Last summer, I was on a deadline to pass the Praxis Core Writing Exam. Shana worked with me to really understand the material, as well as improve my essay writing. I was finally able to pass, and stay on schedule with my education program. In addition, Shana helped me prepare for the Social Studies Content and Interpretation Exam, which was the last Praxis I needed to pass for certification. Shana was patient with me, and helped me create a study guide for all the material. This was a big help because all the information I needed to know was condensed, which made it easier to understand. Shana worked endlessly with me to cover all content areas of the exam, to ensure that the next time I took it would be my last. The best score I was able to achieve prior to working with Shana was a "150." After working with her for months, I finally passed the exam with a "164." All the practices and reviews were totally worth the 14-point increase. I was stuck in a hard place, trying to pass these two exams which are needed for certification. Shana's approach and presentation of the material in different ways was instrumental to my success. She was amazing throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her if you need any help passing a difficult exam. Shana will be with you until the end and, because of her, I was able to achieve my dream of becoming a teacher. Thanks again, Shana. You are amazing! You rock! read more

I worked with Shana to study for praxis core writing and reading in 2017. I speak English as a second language, and it has been only few years I started learning and speaking English. Shana was my big emotional support and she was my best English teacher. I was sometimes frustrated and annoyed with English. She was always very patient with my frustration, and she understood my frustration and encouraged me to not give up. Whenever I had a hard time with English and cried because of stress, Shana was always there for me. She also taught me exact things what I needed to know to pass the test. When I first met her, I was not able to write a one page essay. I had to be able to write at least 4-5 paragraph two essays to pass the praxis core writing test. Within a few months of training with her, I was able to write a full page essay, and I passed the writing test. After the writing test, I started studying reading with her. I have never read books in English, so reading was a bigger problem than writing an essay. She had many resources, and she knew what resource to use. She had many different strategies, and she knew what was the right strategy for me to pass the reading test. Without her, I would not have been able to pass the tests or it would have taken even longer to pass the tests. I am very happy that I found her. Studying with her was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. read more

Where do I even begin?studying (battling) the LSAT for close to a year with two unsuccessful attempts. After spending thousands of dollars on the typical Kaplan and Powerscore plans to no avail, a friend recommended Shana to me. Besides being extremely flexible with her time and knowledgeable on all three sections, she has been able to build a lesson plan that addresses my SPECIFIC weaknesses on the LSAT. Moreover, she has special techniques to help overcome my test-taking anxiety, which has affected me all of my life. Her methods are atypical of most tutors whether it is a company or an individual AND SHE WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE METHODS NEEDED TO SUCCEED ON ANY STANDARDIZED TEST. I have never been comfortable asking questions before I began with Shana. I used to have the hardest time sitting down to study because I had such a negative attitude coupled with anxiety that i dreaded sitting down to study. She has completely changed my outlook and has worked wih me on a number of things both related and unrelated to the test that have helped me and prepared me to exceed both on the LSAT and in law school. I highly, highly, highly recommend using Shana. You will instantly see her innate abilities in tutoring and her ability to adapt to your style to address your specific needs!!! read more

LSAT preppers have no fear! Testing Doomsday is all tall talk. With Shana here, it'll be a cakewalk. I don't know what I would have done without her guidance. Patient, intuitive, and honest, Shana's approach to the LSAT will have you mastering sections because you learn to view the test from the writers perspective. Did I mention she's a lawyer? She's been there and done it! And now lives it! A wealth of knowledge on how to apply for schools and what schools are actaully looking for in a personal statement. "Fun and Games" is how I look at the LSAT now after working with Shana. Her hour flexibility to fit my schedule while offering the option to Skype or meet in person made the studying process that much easier. But nothing helped more than going to her Group Games sessions, which allowed me to ask and get answers to all my questions, and an actual test taking simulation which includes free lunch! To learn different strategies and ways to tackle a problem from an LSAT guru and test preppers like myself made the experience that much better. read more

I sought out Ginsburg Tutoring this summer for help with the PRAXIS a test that I needed to pass before becoming a teacher. I had taken the test numerous times and not passed because of test anxieties. When I went to the initial consultation I meet Shana, she explained to me that in the past some students she worked with repeatedly took the test without passing. However, those students through tutoring were able to take the test one more time and pass. It did not seem possible. But, after a few weeks of tutoring, I started to see my practice scores increase. Through the tutoring, my anxieties about the test being timed went away, the reading comprehension strategies (the process of elimination) started to make sense, and I became more confident that I would pass. When I took the test, my feeling was that I had gotten most of the questions correct and had passed. My score came back higher than I had expected a 182/200. I am so glad that I went to that initial consultation and continued tutoring till I felt ready to pass the test. Thank you Shana! read more

If you are looking for a tutor, look no further. Shana is by far the most amazing tutor I've ever had. She is brilliant, kind, honest, positive, patient, and very motivational. She has a relaxed demeanor and I felt completely comfortable asking her questions. She helped me pass my math praxis exam, which I had taken and failed repeatedly before I found her. She is very flexible with her time. She did not move onto another section until she knew I fully understood the content we were learning. She has so many methods, so if I didn't understand something, she always had an another way of explaining it. She gave me advice on test taking anxiety, and when she felt I was ready, we practiced timed drills. I would go back to Shana for ANY subject I need help with, because she is truly knowledgeable and I know that whatever it is, she can help. read more

This review is long overdue. It's thanks to Shana and her team, that I've been able to realize life goals! Plagued by testing self-doubt and not being able to set aside "study-time" (or so I thought) kept me from forging ahead towards career goals. Shana re-introduced my childhood love of Math and showed me that I was capable. Her team of tutors worked around my hectic mom/life schedule and set me up for success. Other reviews have said this and its the truth, Shana CARES. I'm just waiting for her to start working with children and create a system that schools can use...because her teaching makes sense, its transferable and it works! I'm looking ahead to possibly taking the GMAT and I will go back to Shana. read more

I worked with Shana last year for my Praxis core reading exam and LOVED every last minute of it. I am a dyslexic with ADHD and a anxiety disorder and after working with her I was able to confidently take and pass my exam with flying colors!

I feel confident in working with Shana because I know her educational background and her ability to understand that all minds work differently. Plus, I know she is able to help me succeed in passing all my praxis exams. She is a truly amazing tutor! read more

I am so beyond lucky that I found Shana! I came to Ginsburg Advanced Tutoring with little confidence in my ability to take the LSAT and came out the other side with such great self-assurance, not only because of all the knowledge that I gained from Shana, but also because of how she was able to help me understand myself as a test-taker better.
