I started my LSAT journey in vain, finding myself disappointed with test prep companies such as 7sage and LSAT Demon. They lacked a coherent vision that frequently left more questions than answers. After a free consultation, it became clear that Brad offers students something other LSAT tutors do not have: an established curriculum that enables students to achieve consistent and substantial score improvements. I was amazed at how effective his methods were for logical reasoning and reading comprehension because I consistently achieved unprecedented accuracy. Brad's passionate commitment to maximizing his students' potential is what led me to score in the 170s. Brad is a truly gifted educator, strongly invested in his students' success and intellectual growth. His enthusiasm is as infectious as it is genuine, instilling in me a confidence that I had never possessed. Brad demonstrates a profound ability to articulate dense concepts in clear, unambiguous language, which assured me that every obstacle would be overcome with proper explanation. Above all, Brad is an incredible joy to work with, removing the tedium that normally accompanies test prep. He is just as generous with his time as he is insightful as a teacher. At many moments throughout the tutoring process, Brad paused sessions and dedicated time off-the-clock specifically to address gaps in my understanding with thoughtful consideration. Additionally, Brad's dedication to his students goes well beyond mere success on test day, for he regularly inquired about my well-being throughout the test prep and admissions process. I am tremendously thankful for having worked with Brad for the LSAT and will be continuing to seek his guidance for law school applications and beyond. Since the LSAT is given the most weight on law school applications, there is no reason to settle for less. read more

When I first met Brad, I remember looking at my transcript and breaking down in tears. I had spent $3,000 on Angela Vorphal's Law School Masterplan, and all I had to show for it was a transcript full of B's. At that moment, I felt like I was crashing out of law school. It wasn't because I hadn't tried. In fact, I had poured myself into every resource that I had thought would help. I went to office hours almost every day. I attended TA sessions religiously. And I sat through Angela's classes, clinging to the idea that she had the "secret" to succeeding in law school. But the results simply weren't there. I was exhausted, discouraged, and starting to believe maybe I just wasn't cut out for this. Angela's program was marketed as a "masterplan," but it turned out to be nothing more than recycled, surface-level advice wrapped in flashy branding. She charged thousands of dollars to tell students the same clichés you can hear at orientation or read in any free law school blog: make an outline, brief cases, condense notes. None of that was new, and none of it helped me actually perform on exams. The truth is, Angela never taught any substantive law--ever. Not once did she sit down and actually explain a doctrine, rule, or principle in Contracts, Torts, or Criminal Law. She sold the illusion of a plan but gave nothing but empty strategies. It was a $3,000 pep talk. And that's why my grades didn't improve. Outlining the way she prescribed left me with binders of notes but no better understanding of how to solve an exam question. Her program was all busy work and no substance. It looked impressive, but it was hollow. I walked away from her "masterplan" with nothing but a thinner wallet and the sinking realization that I still didn't know how to succeed in law school. Then I met Brad, and the difference was night and day. Brad isn't a cheerleader or a strategist; he's a teacher. Every session, he actually lectures on substantive law. He breaks down complex doctrines into simple, understandable rules. For the first 20 to 30 minutes of each session, Brad teaches real content: blackletter law, key principles, and frameworks that matter on exams. He doesn't waste time with fluff. He teaches Constitutional Law, Property, and other core subjects directly, the way professors should but often don't. One moment that really crystallized the difference between Brad and my professors was when we were working through cases involving the Commerce Clause. In class, my professor would just gloss over the holdings and jump straight to hypotheticals, leaving us to fend for ourselves in understanding how it all tied together. But with Brad, we didn't just read cases; we unpacked them. He showed me how each decision reflected a broader battle over federalism, with the Court constantly shifting the line between federal and state power. Brad made sure that I understood not just what the Court held, but why it mattered--how each ruling either expanded or limited Congress's reach under the Commerce Clause and what that said about the structure of our government. That kind of doctrinal context was completely missing in class, but Brad brought it to life and made the entire doctrine make sense.' We didn't just skim cases or focus on canned briefs. He had me read entire cases--usually 60 to 80 pages long but for Sebelius, it was 190 pages!!!!--and he would highlight the key points, dissecting them until I understood what was happening, why the court reasoned the way it did, and how it fit into the broader doctrine. That kind of deep, rigorous engagement with the law is what finally made things click. It was the opposite of Angela's shortcuts; instead of pretending that there was a "hack" to law school, Brad made me do the work that actually builds mastery. The results were undeniable. In ConLaw and Property, two of the toughest classes in 1L, I earned solid A's. After a semester of nothing but B's, I had proven to myself that I could master these subjects when someone actually taught them to me. Brad also helped me realize that knowing the professor's quirks doesn't matter nearly as much as students think. The law doesn't change from professor to professor. Once you learn the doctrine and practice applying it, you can excel on any exam. By the end of my second semester, my transcript told a completely different story. I went from struggling to even get B's to earning A's, and that transformation gave me the chance to transfer from a T-20 law school to a T-10--an outcome I never would have imagined after my first semester. Looking back, the $3,000 I spent on Angela's so-called Masterplan was a waste. She never taught me a single rule of law. Brad, on the other hand, gave me exactly what I needed: real lectures, real substance, deep case work, and real results. He turned law school from an exhausting struggle into something I could actually succeed at. The truth is simple--I never would have gotten here without Brad. read more

I first learned about Brad's tutoring from my older brother when he was preparing to take the LSAT. My brother spoke highly of Brad's tutoring style, and he often described Brad's method as "the only way" to get an elite LSAT score. My brother ultimately scored in the high 170s on the LSAT, and he was accepted to UPenn. When I began my journey with Brad, I was unsure if my brother's high score was a result of my brother's innate talent, Brad's tutoring, or a combination of both. Going in with an open mind, Brad told me that I have the potential to score just as high as my brother if I was willing to put forth the effort required. I ended up scoring in the high 170s. I cannot thank Brad enough for what he has done for both my brother and me. Although Brad is expensive, it was worth every penny. Specifically, Brad's reading comprehension method is unique, and it allowed me to quickly improve my weakest section. read more

I can't express enough how much Brad has helped me. I had a diagnostic score of 154 and now PT between 178-180 regularly. He has completely transformed how I approach this test. I knew that I wanted good tutoring for this test before I even started studying for it. After extensive research and many consultations, I ended up choosing Brad. I couldn't be more happy that I did. Brad completely guided me through this test: we went through every section, question type, and challenge together. He became more than just my LSAT tutor; he is my mentor throughout my entire pre-law school journey. Brad is genuinely just a very good teacher. Having one-on-one sessions with him helped me to figure out my specific problems. This meant that I was able to spend more time on one thing, but breeze through something else that I picked up easier. I would not have had as much success with the LSAT if it wasn't for Brad because I have always struggled with reading comprehension. So much so that I thought something was wrong with me. Brad's method for reading comp allowed me to finish my sections within the allotted time, get perfects or close to perfects on my practice tests (-0 to -2 was normal for me), and helped me to actually understand what I was reading without blanking after I had read everything. I could say the same for Logical Reasoning. I regularly get -0 on this section. Again, wouldn't have even dreamed this was possible if it weren't for Brad. He just has a way of teaching and encouraging that works. If I had to put it in only a few words, it would be "he's just really good at what he does." read more

I first found Brad, my tutor, after trying & spending $$$ on Blueprint LSAT study program. I felt there had to be better use of my limited study time rather than attending 2.5 hr. weekly live sessions twice per week with countless other students where we spent a good 30 minutes greeting the Blueprint instructors via zoom chat. I'm all for camaraderie but this was wasted time, in my opinion. When we spoke during the consultation, I learned more about his ability to recognize where we needed to focus to gain maximum benefit. I felt heard and seen by him immediately. We spent 4 hours per week getting into the meat of the LSAT over the course of 6 weeks. My practice exams were landing me around the 148-152 mark prior to my work with Brad. I took the Nov. LSAT and was elated to see I had achieved a 167. Brad is a skilled teacher. He also earned a law degree himself and he knows what he's doing. I was dismayed to learn that many of the tutors at some of the expense tutoring platforms, haven't actually taken the LSAT, personally. Brad is not cheap, be forewarned, but he is worth every cent because he will push you and teach you in ways that the big LSAT platforms do not. I will end by saying I cannot recommend Brad enough and give credit to him for my substantial jump in score because he showed me how to work smarter rather than longer, or 'harder.' read more

I first contacted Brad in May of 2021, after struggling with the learning format of TestMax Prep and self-guided LSAT study books. I realized that the LSAT for me personally would be the only way I could compete for placements into good law schools, and that it would be necessary to receive formal education of this test in order to achieve a great score. After working with Brad for over a year, I have begun to master the LSAT. Brad takes the success of his students to heart. He demands that his students not only learn his methods, however perfect them. His teaching style is unorthodox and old school; and for a test that has the power to open doors for you as the LSAT does, it is an absolute necessity. I specifically came to Brad for help with Logic Games, and am currently sitting at my desk jaw dropped, as I have played approximately 10 games since learning Brad's approach to this section of the test, and have only gotten 3 questions wrong due to a lack of meticulous examination on my part (48 out of 51 questions answered correctly). If you are willing to put forth the effort into learning his approach to the LSAT, you will be successful. I honestly never thought I'd look at a particular Logic Game as easy, however Brad's teachings have lead me to this point. I am beyond thankful. Brad has also become a mentor and friend. Through our interactions and discussions, I have become a better person and have learned valuable life-lessons which extend far beyond the field of law. Many other students of his have stated that Brad has changed their life, and honestly I haven't even taken the test yet and I can't help but state the exact same conclusion. Please do not hesitate to message me if you would like to speak to someone for a referral. Ren C. -Indiana University -Liberal Studies (Pre-Law) read more

I didn't know that I wanted to go to law school until midway through college. Because of that, my GPA was lower than I wanted, so I decided to focus on getting the highest LSAT score I could. I started my LSAT journey with 7Sage and improved significantly in logic games, but did not improve in logical reasoning or reading comprehension. I needed someone to point out where my thought process was illogical and why my answers were incorrect or correct. After three months of 7Sage, I decided to look for an LSAT tutor who could specifically do these things and help me improve my score. I found the LSAT Genius on Reddit and contacted him immediately. During our free phone consultation, he was very realistic with me about how he could get me to the score I wanted but that we would need more time than I had currently allotted. Based on his reviews and confidence in his curriculum, I decided to work with him. It was the best decision I could've made. Brad was very flexible in working around my hectic schedule with school and work. Along with that, he had to teach me to unlearn 7Sage's logical reasoning material and then teach me his curriculum. I had never truly understood how learnable the LSAT was until I learned Brad's curriculum. With each session I had with Brad, I became more and more logical and better prepared for the exam. He could immediately spot weaknesses in my thinking and correct them so that I could get to the correct answer. Brad also has a full-proof reading comprehension method that had me consistently scoring -1. Brad and I also worked together on curating my application materials. His process for writing the personal statement is unlike anything I have ever seen or would have ever thought to write. His process allowed me to portray a side of myself that wasn't just numbers. Additionally, he brainstormed ideas for supplemental essays and edited them. I know for a fact that I would not have had as good of an application if I had not worked with Brad. He is beyond dedicated to his students and is worth all the effort. Through his LSAT curriculum, Brad made me become a more logical person. Through his application process, Brad helped me to showcase the best version of myself to the application committees. From the beginning, he believed in me and was my biggest supporter throughout my LSAT journey and even now through the application process. I 1,000% recommend Brad to anyone wanting to master the LSAT and/or curate a one-of-a-kind application! read more

Brad is no LSAT Genius, but rather a genius at manipulation and belittling people! Outrageous prices with nothing to back it up. Refuses to let you speak to past students, and acts offended if you ask. When asking for references he said it was like " I didn't think he was worth the money." Most people in their professions rely on referrals, recommendations, word of mouth and reviews. It was not outrageous to want to hear feedback from real people when demanding prices upwards of $15,000 for tutoring. His condescending attitude like many other people on here have described really comes out when you question his certifications, techniques and experience. As a paying customer we have the right to ask all of these questions to make an informed decision. For Brad to think that he can bully, belittle and call names to potential clients is disgusting. Take your money elsewhere, you will be totally fine with absolutely any other tutor. read more

Brad is the best tutor I have ever worked with. Before Brad, I had gone through multiple tutors and test prep companies. I was struggling a lot with Reading Comprehension. No one was able to help me. I was not confident in my answers and had been getting more than half of the questions incorrect. Before Brad, I had lost hope and was ready to give up. I assumed that my score was not able to be improved after so many failed attempts. I had resigned myself to the belief that I was not going to meet the minimum score I needed to go to the schools that I wanted to go to. After working with Brad, I have been able to get a perfect or near perfect score on all of my Reading Comp sections. His method is drastically different from any others that I have used or were taught to me. I have never seen anything like it. I am now able to answer every question with confidence, and I feel fully prepared to take the real thing. Brad not only drastically improved my score, but he has also restored my confidence in myself. read more

My LSAT Journey My undergrad GPA is below a 3.0. Being an aeronautical science major, a Division I athlete, and dealing with some personal issues during undergrad negatively impacted my grades. My goal was to go to a T14 law school, so I had my work cut out for me: I had to do very well on the LSAT. I dreaded the LSAT; I was petrified of getting a bad score. Eventually, the LSAT consumed my life and became the only important thing in my life. I began my LSAT journey in 2013. For three years, I bought every LSAT book that was available--you name it, I tried it. I wanted to master the LSAT and be able to tackle every possible problem on the test. Along with the LSAT books, I tried a plethora of LSAT courses (classroom and online) and private tutors. I still didn't feel confident that I had grasped what I needed to know to do well. My practice exams were showing me that I didn't fully understand how to tackle the questions. I personally know when I know something and know when I don't know something. I cannot fake it or act like I know; my confidence and performance will let me know. The LSAT was very overwhelming to me, and I plateaued for a long time before meeting Brad. I had to take a lot of breaks because the test was just so mentally and emotionally taxing. I got frustrated, stressed, and depressed with not getting things right and had to just stop for awhile. This experience, up until I met Brad in 2016, sucked. I went through so many tutors and so many resources that I felt my experience would be helpful to someone who is still in the process of studying and may be doing exactly the same thing I did, so I would like to share my experience and explain why Brad was so helpful. When I reviewed my work, I realized I was still having difficulty grasping and tackling the different concepts on the test, especially the logical reasoning section. I understood what it was asking, but I was finding it so hard to get to the correct answer choice. I was in dire need of help. I thought I was missing something or wasn't seeing the objective or wasn't thinking the correct way that I needed to. So I went from one prep company to the next, one tutor to the next, and one book to the next in search of what I didn't know, hoping that maybe someone would present that information in a way that would turn the light bulb in my brain on. Well, Brad was that person. Brad broke down the test to its simplest form and provided clear, efficient, effective, and flawless methods. Brad's methods allowed me to re-engage with the test and made me feel so much more confident in my abilities. Most importantly, with Brad's diligent guidance, I was able to apply these methods during the test without hesitation. I feel that this is very important. Most of the other test prep companies, books, and tutors I tried gave the most convoluted and complicated advice to memorize during a mentally exhausting test. Brad's methods are like a construction worker's toolbelt. Each tool in the construction worker's toolbelt serves a particular purpose. The construction worker doesn't hesitate or try to use a different tool to solve a problem that the tool wasn't meant for. The construction worker is confident about where to find the tool, how to use it, how it operates, and when to use it. The greatest aspect about Brad, above all, is that he is dedicated to providing his students with the knowledge and ability to succeed on the LSAT. It is not about money with Brad. I know the tutoring is quite expensive, but at the end of the day, it is very much worth it. I've experienced tutors who schedule a certain allotment of time and when that time is up, you have to purchase more time or stop, whether you understood the lesson/objective for that day or not. Everyone learns differently. I know I do. Suppose you are a slower learner, like myself. There are so many variables when learning or teaching are involved. Brad, on the other hand, literally, I swear to God, stops the clock and tries to explain something to you if he sees that you aren't grasping it or are having problems. Due to the fact that I had experience with other LSAT resources, my train of thought was sometimes stuck on what I had learned before and I couldn't comprehend Brad's methods clearly, so he had to break my bad habits. To break bad habits you have to explain and show why it is wrong and then show the correct habit. This takes time. Brad would stop the clock and speak for long periods of time--extremely long. This meant a lot to me. This made me feel confident that I had made the right decision in choosing Brad. Because of the amount of time I spent studying and prepping using other methods that didn't work, I found it difficult to break away/unlearn those methods and apply Brad's methods. I am here to say that if you are a student who is looking for a prep course for the first time, it is best to learn the principles and methods from Brad with no other information in your head. read more

As a student who has always accomplished by self-studying, I felt that I would be able to self- study my way through the LSAT by means of various prep courses and online resources. I first began with the PowerScore bibles and thought, "Hey, maybe I can do this!" But after months of studying, and the purchase of the Manhattan Prep interactive LSAT course in addition to my PowerScore purchases, I was still not hitting my goal score. My initial diagnostic test was a 154 and, through months and months of studying, I plateaued in the high 160s. This was still short of my ideal score, but no matter how much more I studied, I was unable to break the barrier and push on to the next tier of LSAT scores. To be honest, I lost hope in my test taking abilities. That is, until I met Brad. Brad is unlike any other tutor I have ever met. He is kind and caring, easy to converse with, and sincerely wants you to excel at both the exam and life. But it is not just his personable attitude that sets him apart, it is his thorough, precise, and overall outstanding curriculum that makes him, in my opinion, the best LSAT tutor available. His carefully constructed lessons were able to make this ambiguous and difficult exam into something much more manageable, accomplishable, and even fun to do. Brad made things easy to understand and showed me exactly how my goal score was accomplishable by identifying my strengths and weaknesses with incredible precision. The LSAT is not an easy test, but I am extremely thankful that I met Brad before I gave up on studying for the exam altogether. It is because of Brad and his incredible teaching abilities that I have now achieved my goal score on the LSAT and am heading to the law school of my dreams! read more

I first met Brad for a consultation in the summer of 2015. I had just finished taking a 3 month PowerScore test prep course. The course only managed to increase my score marginally, and the moment I stopped practicing LSAT material, my score dropped again. I noticed that the course only gave me tips on how to take the test better; it didn't teach me about the material on the test. After this, I started speaking with a few tutors to continue my studies with private tutoring. However, they all said that at most they could increase my score 7 or 8 points. Additionally, none of these tutors seemed to have a method of teaching, just tips on how to take the test better. Most believed that the LSAT wasn't something that could be taught. I nearly gave up on the LSAT when I met Brad. I knew immediately from the consultation that Brad's method of teaching was different. He was not just going to offer me tips on how to take the test better; he was going to teach me the very skill the LSAT tested: logic. Unlike other tutors I had met, Brad had an entire curriculum dedicated to making one a more logical person. This curriculum broke down every question type on the exam and gave me a way to analyze them. By the end, I had become an LSAT expert. Not only did this help me increase my score by 19 points (to a 167) but it has changed the way I persuade and am persuaded by others. I feel so lucky to have found him. He's changed my life. Before him, I thought I couldn't become a lawyer because I couldn't do well on the LSAT. Today I am happy to say that I have my pick of some of the best schools in the nation. Additionally, I know the logical skills Brad has taught me will be crucial in my legal career. Brad was also immensely helpful when it came time to writing my personal statement. Initially the task seemed daunting to me; I had no idea what to write about. Brad talked to me about some of the significant experiences in my life and helped me decide which would best convey my character to the admissions committee. He helped me write a personal statement that showcased many facets of my character and which I believe made me stand out in a pool of candidates with comparable numbers. Finally Brad is a pleasure to work with. The best thing about Brad is that he really cares about his students. He goes out of his way for his students and is truly invested in their success. This really mattered to me in my test preparation because I felt that "I had someone on my team" rooting for my success. When I had anxiety issues related to the exam, he went out of his way to help me work through them even though it wasn't part of his job description. I am so happy I found Brad. He is truly a gem! read more

I had spent about 2 years on and off of studying for the lsat and I'd gone through a useless Powerscore course and around 5-7 private tutors before finding a last-ditch effort in Brad. Most tutors I've had experience with tested in the 170s, but weren't very good at TEACHING the material. It's one thing to do well yourself, but can you explain it to another person with a different brain than you? Brad's the guy for that! My worst section, by far, was reading comprehension. I was at such a loss and had about 15 fresh lsat tests left. I was deathly afraid of scoring way below my potential. I was super worried because I was 15 points away from the lower end of my goal score range and 20 points away from a goal score I'd be ecstatic of. Timing was a huge issue too. Generally, I could only finish 3 passages, IF THAT. If the passages happened to jive with my brain and I found the topics interesting, I still couldn't finish a full section of passages in 35 minutes. I started with Brad apprehensively but found his reading comprehension method way easier to get my head around than the 20 million other methods that other tutors claim to have. Brad's method is unique and changed the way I read anything in general. He helps to figure out what information is important, how to categorize it, and how to answer questions faster. Logical reasoning was another problem for me. I found it hard to have a tried and true method for all the different question types. He brought it back to the basics of logic and helped me to understand each question type and how to approach each type. Again, his method is unique and I don't think I could've done as well as I did figuring it out on my own or with another rando tutor off the street. Now with applications, I was really stressed about the personal statement, because I lead a rather boring life and didn't really know how to best express myself. I talked extensively with Brad about myself and themes in my life, and we came to a topic that was interesting and something I'd never would've thought of on my own. The final product was literally the best thing I could've wished for and I'm really happy I chose Brad. Truly a savior. I would've given up at a certain point on law school altogether if it weren't for Brad. The important lesson here is that you need to find a TEACHER and a PROVEN, GOOD WRITER to be a tutor and application counselor. I also liked that Brad went to law school, so he understood the logic and thinking processes that are required for law school, applications, and beyond. A lot of tutors who decide against going to law school and take the lsat just to make money off tutoring are just not going to cut it, from what I've found. They don't understand the purpose of the lsat and how it relates to law school, so they don't see the big themes and patterns of logic that are needed to do well on the lsat. Logic just comes naturally to them. A high scorer alone can't help another student do well without an education background. I highly recommend Brad, seriously, I'm a generally skeptical person and I'm so glad I fought through my doubts to do this. I already know Brad is going to be the best investment in my life. read more

As other reviewers for The LSAT Genius have stated, Brad has changed my life. I really started taking Brad only as an alternative that seemed different from other LSAT tutors. Other courses I had taken and other tutors I had tried had their own individual methods or categorical answers to problems but they certainly dont have Brad's curriculum. He has an exact method for every single question type in logical reasoning that will get you the answer as well as for the other section types. His method will get you to eliminate the wrong answers and eliminate them quickly. You simply have to learn his method and implement it. Moreover, Brad's course teaches you how to think critically. His curriculum does not only extend to the test. It extends into your way of thinking. He will challenge you. He expects the most out of his students and if you rise to it you will get a double digit score increase. The benefits of studying with Brad dont end with his course; they transfer to your personal life as well as law school. Brad is flexible, especially for Skype students, as I was. He will shape his schedule around you, instead of the other way around. He will give you extra time to make sure you understand a question or to finish a particular lesson over a concept. You can text him almost anytime and he will get back to you about almost any LSAT/law school related issue. If you can, use Brad's services for LSAT preparation. No other prep service compares in regard to quality, professionalism or consistent results. read more

Students looking for LSAT tutoring will need the right guidance. The LSAT is an exam that is difficult in a multitude of ways. However, there is an individual who can give students the proper guidance that they're seeking. His name is Brad. Brad's style of teaching is beyond the greatest imagination. He has a certain elegance to him that allows the student to not only feel comfortable but allows the student to have such an environment that it will lead to success. He is very punctual and meticulous in his discipline which is much needed for the student's progress. His qualities make him a good teacher. One of his qualities is that he is very understanding. Such understanding is needed between teacher and student, though many instructors cannot provide it due to their ignorance. However, Brad is different. He not only understands the student but he takes the time out to know them so that he knows how to help them in the aspects that they lack understanding in. He is always thinking about the students' benefit. He is jubilant and has a wonderful personality. I personally have learned so much from him. If anyone is looking for an amazing, cooperative, understanding, and patient instructor for the LSAT and if anyone is looking to do well on this exam knowing that they will go into that exam and do the best that they can possibly do, it would be foolish to squander the opportunity to be taught by Brad. read more

I wish to second all of the accolades for The LSAT Genius. Brad has been truly instrumental in my success with the LSAT and beyond. I came to him in 2016 with no prior LSAT experience or prep, and a full work schedule which allowed me minimal study time. I knew going into the LSAT prep that I needed a tutor who could push me and help raise my score while making the most of my time. Brad was the best tutor for me--something I came to realize almost immediately after attending consultations with other area tutors. What drew me immediately to Brad was his unique curriculum which he devised himself, his ability to explain a concept in ways in which I would understand, and his complete candor. Brad's curriculum is one of a kind. As others have said in their review of his curriculum, if you learn his method and implement it exactly you will be able to eliminate the wrong answer choices quickly. Brad has a way of breaking down the sections beginning with macro learning. The curriculum then delves into the minutia detail--the nuances of each problem type (the many varied LR problems, LG types, and a unique method for how to tackle Reading Comprehension). If I was having any issues comprehending a trend or problem type, Brad made sure that I understood. He would make up scenarios that were applicable to my life and interests so that I would be able to grasp the idea in a larger, more familiar context. Then he would bring that understanding back to LSAT specific problems. He was incredibly thorough and thoughtful throughout my first meeting with him all the way through to my application process. Brad was also very candid--a trait which many other tutors are not. He helped me to realize that for me, it was best not to rush the process. Together we were methodical, thorough, and calculated. It was this approach that enabled me to boost my score, gain confidence in my test taking, and ultimately made me a more logical person. I also chose to have Brad edit my personal statement because he was so instrumental in my LSAT success and improvement. Not only did he know exactly how to coax the right story out of me, but his editing helped me to laser focus my essay. It is because of him that I got so many hand written compliments about my essay from law school admissions. I really can't say enough about how amazing Brad is. I am grateful I hadn't had any test prep prior, but know that I wouldn't have reached my full LSAT potential without him and certainly would not have had such a comprehensive understanding of the LSAT and logic in general. Brad cares about you as an individual and cares about your capacity to learn. It's not just about the numbers for him--he truly wants you to be a better student, person, and a better master of logic. He was there no matter what throughout this whole process, and was always a txt, phone call, or meeting away--and he still is! Without a doubt I would chose Brad 1,000 times over. Because of Brad's unparalleled support and my hard work, I am off to law school in the fall! read more

During my very long LSAT journey, the most difficult period of time was overcoming my issues with Reading Comprehension. I had managed to self-study for Logical Reasoning and Logic Games to the point where I could score highly on a consistent basis. I was having successful practice tests, and was scoring in the mid and high 160s. However, Reading Comprehension was holding me back from my goal score of 170+. I was stuck in a "plateau" in the high 160s. This was very discouraging because I had an increasing sense of helplessness when I drilled this section. I had lost all confidence. If I couldn't improve my RC performance, I was not going to get the LSAT score I felt I needed to realize my aspirations. I had exhausted seemingly every option - at least, every option prior to meeting Brad. I am a skeptical person, and I was particularly skeptical of hiring a LSAT tutor. I thought that since I was already scoring fairly well, hiring a tutor wouldn't do me much good. What could a tutor possibly offer that I hadn't already read about online? I cannot even believe how wrong I was. From the first few minutes of my first session with Brad, I could tell that he was going to help me. Not only is he highly knowledgeable about Reading Comprehension (and the LSAT in general), but I also found right away that he personally cared about my progress. Brad was simply not going to let me fail, as he made apparent right from the start. His teaching approach is one of discipline, fundamentals, and consistency. I had never seen or heard of a Reading Comprehension curriculum as thorough and methodical as his, despite my countless hours of research on the internet. Brad has spent years developing his curriculum, and you can tell he puts in more effort than one could possibly expect or anticipate. From the fundamentals I learned early in our sessions, we were able to move on and tackle the Reading Comprehension section in a manner that gave me tangible and sincere confidence. My scores were immediately going in the right direction after our sessions, and I was eventually able to get my Reading Comprehension score to a point where I could consistently rely on it as a strength. As someone who never thought I would see the score I eventually got, I cannot recommend Brad strongly enough, especially for anyone who is struggling in Reading Comprehension. Brad will take the time, effort, patience, and care to improve your score. He will also make a real, sincere effort to check in with you and ask how things are going. Brad doesn't just want his students to do well - Brad takes his students' results as a reflection of his own skill in teaching, and routinely demonstrated that he was eager to provide guidance and help me succeed. He always puts the student first. I can confidently and without hesitation say that, because of the work Brad and I did together in Reading Comprehension, I received an LSAT score of 174 (roughly a seven point increase from where I was before). Brad is seriously that good. read more

Brad has changed my life forever. I have always worked with tutors, so when preparing for the LSAT, I knew it would be no different. After interviewing several people, I finally found Brad. I have never met someone so talented, passionate, or educated. Brad truly is the full package. After my diagnostic test, I was very discouraged and worried that I wouldn't be able to go to law school. But Brad reassured me. We worked tirelessly for 8 months, and with his help, I consistently achieved a 33 point score increase on my practice tests. I recently took the February 2017 exam and will update this review once I receive my score. Brad's original curriculum is genius. Brad's tutoring treats the LSAT as a necessary foundation for law school, which is what so many other preparation courses lack. Whether you need a 10 point increase or a 30 point increase, his tutoring is a must. Hiring Brad is well worth the investment. Brad really cares about his students. Most people would have quit or given up after seeing my diagnostic score. But he believed in me and taught me how to believe in myself. It is very apparent that Brad is passionate about helping people. Brad is qualified in ways other tutors aren't. Not only did he excel on the LSAT, he excelled at one of the top-ranked law schools as well. So he understands what it takes to do well and how to prepare. Additionally, he understands teaching and is able to cater to the needs of each individual. His qualities and experiences set him apart from the rest. Brad also does more than just LSAT preparation. He also helped me write my personal statement and is now tutoring me in his Law School Overview course. I am so fortunate to have found Brad. Only through his tutoring has law school been made possible. read more

My daughter contacted Brad The LSAT Genius to retain him as a tutor. Brad claimed that he could bring my daughter's score up 15 points if she worked with him. Initially it was for 10 hours of tutoring at the cost of $2800. After meeting with Brad he suggested that she would need 40 hour of tutoring at the sum of $11,000. I was willing to entertain this, however I knew nothing about Brad, not even his last name. After reading his website I realized it was self-serving and I had some questions for him. One of the points in his website was that he developed a matter of teaching which is different than anyone else's and has been copyrighted. So I asked Brad in a text message for three simple things: 1. a resume, 2. a copy of the document that has been copyrighted, and 3. contact information for several references. He did not respond to me, but immediately wrote to my daughter. This was Brads reply, "Your father just contacted me with his requests. I am not applying for a job with him; you are seeking help from me. In all my years of tutoring, I have not submitted a resume to a student or her parents. Like I said, what is relevant is how good I am at teaching and that is best verified by a consultation and student references. Since you have done the former, I can provide the latter, but anything else is superfluous. It is not sufficient for your father, I unfortunately will not be tutoring you." My daughter responded kindly asking again for some basic details and a resume. His response, "I've been tutoring for years. Considering all my students have done well without asking for a resume, etc. you are the outlier, the exception. We will not be working together, so good luck with the test then." I always believe that one doesn't have to defend himself if there is nothing to defend. In this case, Brad immediately defended himself when all I did was ask for references, a resume, and a document. If you are considering using Brad, please BE CAREFUL! read more

"To score in the 160s, you would be swinging for the fences, kid." Those were the last words my Princeton Review instructor said to me. Using her words as motivation, I was determined to find a better option to realize my true potential. Scouring the Internet, I came across Brad's website. As I read more and more, I felt like he was speaking directly to me and my Princeton Review experience. I immediately contacted him and started tutoring right away. With his in-depth approach, I learned more in the first couple of sessions with Brad than I did during the whole summer with Princeton Review. Brad tailors his curriculum to the individual student and goes into a level of detail that a large, generic prep class simply can't. His curriculum is rooted in logical thinking, which allows students to easily comprehend the material rather than simply memorize techniques. Brad does not only prepare his students for the LSAT; he teaches them how to think like a rational lawyer. I work a 50-hour a week, full-time job and Brad easily fit me into his schedule with regular sessions that were at my convenience. After diligently working with him, the improvement was tremendous. I improved 12 points on the actual LSAT from my diagnostic test and proved that my Princeton Review instructor's assessment of my potential was wrong. Brad's devotion to his students does not end with the LSAT; he helps out with the application process as well. Brad helped me brainstorm creative and inspiring ideas for an authentic personal statement. After bouncing ideas off of Brad, I was able to create such a powerful personal statement that multiple schools included a handwritten note with their acceptance letters stating how wonderful it was to read my statement. Due to my great LSAT score and high-quality application, I have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in academic scholarships. The average scholarship I have received from law schools ranked in the top 25 has been $90,000. The amount of merit scholarship money makes the cost of tutoring with Brad well worth it. Brad did such an incredible job that I am currently taking his Law School Overview course in order to prepare for my first year of law school. read more

Before I delve into a review of my current LSAT journey, I think I should provide some background on my previous experience. I took an LSAT prep course as an undergraduate and did not do well, so I decided to put it aside and focus on my career after graduation. I tried again to give Kaplan a second go after I finished my MBA, and this time, I had enough money saved to even tack on additional 1:1 tutoring. I actually did worse than I did years earlier as an undergraduate. Not wanting to give up, I tried one tutor who professed to be a working attorney in the NYC area, and after two sessions, I realized that the individual was neither a working attorney nor even had a method/curriculum for teaching the LSAT. During my second session with the attorney, after I realized that I might be wasting my money AGAIN, I heard back from Brad and he mentioned his free consultation. I took him up on his offer; after all, what did I have to lose other than that one hour? I left so enthused after that one session simply because after all these years - with just a few minutes of going through WHY the answers I chose were either right or wrong, I finally "got it". Brad made even the harder question types seem like a piece of cake with only a few quick tips. I knew I hadn't even scratched the surface of all the methods and shortcuts that I was about to learn with Brad and decided to work with him after that free consultation. I sent Brad my last LSAT exam and he was able to laser focus on my weaknesses, so that when we went back to cover question types, we could focus on the problematic questions longer than the question types that might have been a bit easier for me based on the test results. When I look back to analyze what was the difference between Brad and the rest I have worked with, Brad actually had the one thing that all the others lacked: the skill of teaching. He is a true teacher at heart. The rest were regurgitating the method they were paid to teach, versus looking for a tailored way to make sure a student's light bulb goes off. I felt like I was back in high school with my favorite AP math and science teachers, breaking down the most complex concepts into digestible easy ways, and you knew WHY you did it that way versus just memorizing a method. By far one of the most important things that automatically came after tutoring sessions with Brad was rebuilding my confidence. After having my ego destroyed numerous times from the test score despite all my effort and hours of work and only seeing 2 or 4 point increases, I started regaining my confidence in my abilities. When I would show Brad that my answers on a question type were all correct, he would respond by asking "why are you surprised?" He both expects perfection and mastery on questions and also sees this from ALL of his students. On top of being a full-time working executive with an excruciating work schedule, I am also a spouse and a parent of a highly energized toddler. I am so ecstatic that I finally found someone to help me crack this test! read more

Brad's coherent teaching ability, precise methods and exceptional techniques led me to conquer the LSAT. His insightful approach to the LSAT and keen understanding of logic, in addition to the specific concepts being tested, make him the ideal tutor for the LSAT. Before tutoring with Brad, I viewed the LSAT as I viewed all other standardized tests: unapproachable and unbeatable. This view quickly changed after a few sessions of tutoring with Brad, as he instilled an unprecedented level of confidence in me. Brad provided me with a clear path to reaching my goal and assured me that my goal was attainable in the time frame he allotted. Throughout the tutoring process, he was incredibly patient and thorough, while also caring immensely about my progress and success. Brad's techniques are highly unique, detailed and effective. Specifically, his methods and particular way of teaching guided me to master every single question type. His strength as a tutor also derives from his ability to explain himself in a very clear manner--his teaching is supplemented with analogies and examples to ensure that his point is strongly understood by his students. After tutoring with Brad for approximately one year, my LSAT score improved by 19 points from my initial diagnostic score. I have since been admitted to many top law schools. I'm confident that tutoring with Brad was one of the best decisions I've made to date, as I could not have achieved such success without his involvement. I would certainly recommend him to all! read more

I took the Kaplan LSAT course about 2 years ago and didn't find it beneficial. They went through the material too fast and it was difficult to get individualized attention. With Brad he is able to design the curriculum around my weaknesses and I'm able to go at my own pace. I also have an extremely busy work schedule and he is able to work around my availablility. read more

Brad is one of the rarest tutors in the LSAT world. From my first diagnostic, Brad was able to assess my weaknesses, and come up with a comprehensive plan on how we ought to go about improving my score. He first taught me the reading skills curriculum, which greatly improved my reading and vocabulary skills. For each section, Brad has a unique and methodical method that is designed to help you answer the questions. Studying for the LSAT can be a daunting task, but with Brad's strategies everything becomes simple. Realistically, of course, the key to getting a better LSAT score is a two way street. One needs to be able to put in the effort and time into doing the homework in order for improvement to materialize. I can proudly say that after learning the entire curriculum and taking the LSAT, my score increased by 23 points! If you pick Brad as your LSAT tutor, he will surely contribute to making a difference in your LSAT performance. In addition, not only is Brad the epitome of an LSAT genius, but he is also a very accommodating teacher. Brad works with your schedule when scheduling for tutoring sessions, and is open to meeting at the location of your choice. He is very punctual and professional. I highly recommend Brad as your LSAT tutor! He is like no other; he will work hard with you to reach your goal. Lastly, receiving tutoring from Brad will assure you a learning experience that cannot be taken away; his curriculum not only prepares you for the LSAT, but it simultaneously prepares you for law school and your future. read more

I feel very lucky to have found Brad the LSAT genius when I did. I was coming off a terrible experience with Testmasters and I needed a game plan that was catered to my needs as a student who struggles with standardized testing. Brad and I worked tirelessly throughout the next couple months to boost my score. Luckily, I saw a 17 point increase from my initial diagnostic test (no previous knowledge or studying whatsoever) to when I took the October 2012 LSAT. Due to some changing life events, I ended up postponing law school applications for several years. I recontacted Brad last year to see if we could push that 17 point score increase into something even higher. I am pleased to report that I received an additional 7 point increase when I took the February 2016 LSAT. Studying for the LSAT was completely demoralizing and put me through so much anxiety. I've never been a fan of standardized tests, so going into this felt like I was already coming from a point of weakness. However, Brad guided me through the most challenging parts of this experience and really helped me gain the confidence to realize that I was capable of a 24 point score increase. What sets Brad apart from other tutors is that he is honest and will give you realistic assessments of where you are in your LSAT journey. I know a few people who went into the LSAT completely underestimating the test. Bottom-line... you can conquer the LSAT but don't expect a 15 point score increase in a week. Brad gave me an assessment of what he thought was possible given my timeline and resources. I found this to be really valuable... and accurate! He is also incredibly flexible and will modify the curriculum to suit your needs. For example, when I recontacted Brad I was in the position of being a student who was strong in logic games but weak in logical reasoning. Instead of rehashing areas where I knew I didn't need help, we laser-focused on logical reasoning and spent some time with reading comp. You unfortunately don't get that sort of customization when you take a big prep course. It is that sort of personal attention that made all the difference on test day. My experience was great and I truly hope that students who feel beat up by this whole process turn their attention to a professional! Tutoring is of course an investment of serious time and money.... but I received a good return on my efforts :) My final word of advice is don't get sucked into the trap of some shake and bake LSAT teacher who really doesn't have any experience. There are plenty of eager law school/Ph.D. grads who haphazardly take on students without any serious teaching experience. Brad is someone with years of experience. He is patient, knowledgable, and knows how to connect with students. He is a professional through and through. These qualities really shine through and make a difference for his students. read more

I met Brad a year ago and I was blown away by his teaching ability and how simple yet effective it was. I had to pause my tutoring due to financial issues. After saving up some money I restarted tutoring after a year. Most people would be completely out of place when returning to a curriculum after a year, but Brad's curriculum is so concise and easy to digest that it was like I didn't even miss a beat. He really went above and beyond for me while I was his student, and that is one of the many reasons why I have seen so much success from his teaching. After finishing his curriculum, I found out that it not only helped me out on in my academics, but also in everyday life. He helped me develop a way of thinking that I don't think I would have been able to do on my own. Brad is an amazing tutor to say the very least. I highly recommend you just sit down and talk to him. You will see the gifted teaching ability that makes him so good at what he does. Give him 10 minutes and I'm sure he will have you thinking in a remarkable way! read more
