I started working with Mitchell a month prior to my scheduled test (4, 1-hour sessions, once per week). I had a 173 on file from the August 2022 test but wanted to push my score above the T-3 medians. Tutoring someone to bring a 173 to a 175+ score is a tall task but Mitchell was more than up for the challenge. In our sessions, he would carefully analyze the method by which I answered questions and would either slightly tweak the method I was already using or provide me with a better one. The tutoring sessions and LSAT solutions were always catered to ME - something no other tutor before Mitchell had ever done for me (and I worked with two very highly regarded tutors in the LSAT space prior). Another differentiating factor between Mitchell and prior tutors I worked with is that Mitchell makes himself available to clients at all hours outside of sessions through text/email. Anytime I was reviewing on my own and had questions, I knew I could reach Mitchell immediately instead of waiting for our next session. I had worked through 7 sage, blueprint resources, power score resources, the LSAT trainer, and the Loophole in Logical reasoning prior to working with Mitchell. The suggestions and tips he offered me were ones I had not learned through those prior sources and ones that allowed me to be exceptionally successful on the LSAT. I got a 176 on the October 2022 LSAT. During the test, I used every trick that Mitchell taught me. The October 2022 test had the most difficult reading comprehension section that I had ever encountered and I still finished the section feeling like I nailed it (an uncommon feeling for me considering that prior to working with Mitchell, I was losing the majority of my points in the RC section). Working with Mitchell took my LSAT testing experience to the next level. The only thing I wish I had done differently in my LSAT journey was to seek out Mitchell's tutoring service sooner.

I first connected with Mitchell at the very beginning of my LSAT journey but before going the route of private tutoring I decided to do a group class and self-study. After doing that for several months, I took my first real LSAT November of 2021 and scored a 167. I started working with Mitchell shortly thereafter because I really wanted a score in the 170s in order to have a chance at my desired schools. I only worked with Mitchell for 2 months and he quickly got me to where I was consistently scoring in the 170s on my practice tests. My biggest struggle when it came to the LSAT was extreme test anxiety, which Mitchell was incredibly successful at calming and challenging through his various study methods. My final score on the real LSAT was a 171. Although my practice test average was higher than this, I was ultimately very happy to have even broken into the 170s, especially given my intense struggle with test anxiety. Despite it only being a 4 point jump from 167 to 171, the jump from high 160s into the 170s is exponentially challenging, and something that I really don’t think I could have done without Mitchell’s help… Also keep in mind that we only worked together 1-2 times per week for 2 months and this is the effect he had in such a short time. He’s a super engaging, intelligent, articulate, gentle and kind teacher, while at the same time, was able to push me out of my comfort zone when it was necessary for growth. For example, at times he would observe me doing a full timed section and on my bad days I’d try to quit or pause my time, telling him that my anxiety was too bad today to do a timed section with him watching me, and despite any amount of whining or frustration he legit wouldn’t let me quit haha… it was really uncomfortable in the moment but it really forced me out of my comfort zone and taught me how to push through my anxiety so I could be prepared for anything and everything on test day. Moreover, I often did better than I expected on those “bad days” upon being pushed in the right way. Mitchell meets you where you’re at, he customizes his guidance for YOUR specific aptitudes and vulnerabilities, which is very unlike many of the generic LSAT classes out there. He also formulates study schedules that are manageable, creating the right balance of rigorous study with relaxing restoration time in order to avoid burnout and to keep your mind clear and your energy-level at its peak. Working with Mitchell was genuinely worth every penny. I really recommend him to anyone struggling to reach their LSAT goal score.

Mitchell saved me throughout my process of studying for the LSAT. I seriously would not have been able to get through it without his support. Mitchell helped improve my confidence in my test-taking ability tremendously. Not only that, but Mitchell's knowledge and understanding of the test go beyond knowing the answer to each question. He understands the approach that we as new learners need to grasp the concepts. His knowledge of Logical Games is insanely impressive and he even converted me into a Logic Games fanatic as well! I always felt comfortable asking questions and never felt judged. Mitchell is understanding, thoughtful, and extremely responsive. I strongly recommend having Mitchelle as your tutor. Good luck!!

I began studying for the LSAT by myself while in England with little to no experience on what resources I should have been using. I was all over the place and wasn’t sure what I needed to do to improve my diagnostic score of 151. I knew I wanted to score at least 160’s and then make it to the 170’s, but I had no idea where to start. While I was abroad, I found Mitchell and we hit it off right away! Each week for about 3 months, we met via Zoom for an hour and half and worked our way through the LSAT, taking it section by section. Mitchell is an incredible tutor and tailors his teaching to what works best for you. My worst section was LR, but under his guidance, we were soon able to figure out a couple strategies that worked for me consistently and that I felt confident using on test day. Mitchell is also super accommodating and worked with my schedule and time, which was especially helpful while in England (an 8 hour time difference!) and as I moved back to the US halfway through my study prep for the September exam. Thanks to Mitchell’s guidance, I was able to score a 161, which had never happened before, not even in practice exams! Although my end goal is still to score in the 170’s, I’ve taken a break for now to focus on academics before going back to LSAT prep. However, I know that Mitchell made a huge difference in my journey, and I doubt I would have been as successful without him.

I worked with Mitchell for three months in preparation for the September 2022 LSAT. This was my first official LSAT. I had a diagnostic score of 162, but I shared with Mitchell that my goal score was at least 170. Mitchell from the start showed how personally invested and interested he was in my success; he never doubted my ability to reach that goal score and helped reassure me even when I doubted myself. He planned our sessions incredibly well, utilizing every minute of our time and planning homework for me to work on between sessions. I met with him once a week for a two-hour session. I always felt like the pace was right on track, never too fast for me to fully absorb but never too slow that I wasn’t learning enough. Mitchell’s professionalism as a tutor is abundantly evident in his teaching style, patience, and organization. Content wise, Mitchell really is the Lord of the LSAT! He had an answer to every question, a method for every bump in the road. In my opinion, Mitchell’s knowledge is far more valuable than any other LSAT studying tool combined. I know this from experience: before starting with Mitchell, I used 7Sage, The LSAT Trainer, and LSAT Demon and none showed significant improvement in my score. It is worth every dollar and cent. Studying for the LSAT can feel all-consuming and treacherous. I spent many nights crying over practice scores, wondering if it was worth continuing. Mitchell always made it clear that I could reach out with anything, and when I did reach out for emotional support, Mitchell was my most vocal supporter, offering advice that I will continue to carry not just with the LSAT, but in life. In the end, I received a 173 on my LSAT, a full three points over my goal score. Mitchell prepared me for every possible scenario, every potential hiccup that may arise, allowing me to buckle down on test day and use the extremely solid foundations I had built in my time working with him to achieve my strong score without letting any outside factors filter in. I cannot recommend his services enough.

After self-studying with 7Sage for 5 months and scoring a 167, I am so grateful to have found Mitchell! In a little over 2 months we raised my score to a 172. Mitchell approaches the LSAT with strategies that are tailored to your learning style, and adjusts his sessions according to your progress. With RC, my hardest section, we tried a few different strategies before the right one clicked. Mitchell is patient, easy to talk to, and uses positive encouragement to make the LSAT more manageable. Communication was also great with text, phone, and Zoom. If you want to reach your full LSAT potential I highly recommend hiring Mitchell!

When I started studying for the LSAT, I was overwhelmed by the amount of prep options out there. I also knew that with my LSAT diagnostic score of 141, I had a long way to go. Thankfully, I found Mitchell through some of his AMAs on Reddit. Before working with Mitchell, my studying was all over the place. I truly felt lost and hopeless. However, Mitchell tailored our sessions and his coaching to individually fit my learning style. Mitchell is intuitive and truly interested in your success. As someone who struggles with anxiety, especially when it comes to standardized tests, I always felt comfortable with Mitchell and in asking him questions. His text check-ins helped me stay accountable and provided an open dialogue for feedback. By working with Mitchell for a little over 4 months, I was able to climb 15 points from my diagnostic, scoring a 156 on the August 2022 LSAT. Plus, he made learning LG fun. Fun is never something I thought I would associate with the LSAT, but that’s my GoldenLSAT experience.

Working with Mitchell was the key to getting out of my bad LSAT habits and attacking the test in a whole new way. Before working with him, I scored a 171 and struggled with maintaining consistently good scores on RC and LR. I had essentially hit a plateau. After just a few weeks (May until the June test) we trained on habits that improved my speed, which lended to better, more consistent scores. These were ways of attacking the test I had never heard about from commercially available prep books. His confidence in me and my abilities went a long way to making me feel like I could succeed. I ended up scoring a 174 on the June test thanks to his help!
