“I can highly recommend Lori without any reservations! When I first came to Lori, my LSAT score was a 150. After about ten sessions with her, she helped me score a 164 (90th percentile), which helped secure me a full-paid scholarship to a top-50 law school. I was genuinely astounded at Lori’s ability to simplify LSAT strategy and customize it to me and my specific needs and strengths. She would read a question that I answered incorrectly on a practice test and could let me know what I was thinking when I got it wrong and then proceed to let me know how to change the way I thought about those types of questions. Her knowledge of the LSAT and ability to recognize and adjust to students’ tendencies are just some of the things that make Lori the best LSAT tutor I could have asked for. ”

Testimonials
“Can’t imagine a better tutor.”
“In addition to LSAT prep, I highly recommend Lori for law school application coaching. In undergrad I wrote mostly research papers and had very little experience writing anything personal. My initial personal statement sounded like a generic resume. Lori provided the constructive criticism I needed to make my personal statement stand out. Lori remembered life experiences I told her about during LSAT prep and said, “You have a fabulous story and need to tell it!” Lori asked many questions that inspired ideas that brought life to my personal statement and made it enjoyable to read. Lori was so supportive throughout the entire application process. When I told her I got my acceptance letter from Pepperdine, Lori was so excited for me. She remembered how much I wanted to go to Pepperdine and said it would be a great fit for me. Lori’s ability to connect with people enables her to help students be their best. I cannot imagine a better tutor.”

“My score increased by 20 points.”
“There is no better teacher than Lori out there – as long as you follow EVERYTHING she says! Lori has a unique ability to adjust her teaching style to the learning style of the student and to make it fun at the same time! Lori genuinely believes in her students and dedicates herself to their progress. If you want to improve your score dramatically, Lori is the only option you should consider! After working with her, my score increased by 20 points.”

“Scored a 167.”
“I came to Lori for help with the LSAT because I was working full-time, studying on my own and wanted the flexibility to work with someone independently rather than sitting through a long prep course after working a full day. Over the course of 2-3 months Lori was flexible and fit me in always at the most convenient times for my schedule. I came to Lori scoring in the mid-160s and consistently running out of time. Lori is the consummate pro – she has worked with nearly every big test prep company (or their founders) and knows every trick in the book, and then some. After working with her, I ultimately scored a 167 (95th percentile) and got into a good school with a scholarship.
Just as important as our work together on the LSAT was Lori’s overall coaching. My average practice test score was a 172, and I was disappointed when I dropped on test day. Lori walked me through my options – studying more, retaking the test, or accepting that even though I didn’t hit my mark, the LSAT was just a snapshot of where I was at that moment. After 1L, I transferred to Stanford Law School. Having Lori’s guidance (and delicious food and coffee) to remind me that the LSAT was just one test was invaluable. I have sent at least five friends to Lori over the years and would recommend her in a heartbeat. You won’t regret it.”

“Trust her process and you’ll do great.”
If you’re going to apply to law school and want help preparing for the LSAT and/or your applications, call Lori Vincere. I only wish I had found Lori earlier as my first test score was awful (141).
We started our tutoring relationship in September of 2014 preparing for the February 2015 LSAT. Lori’s teaching style combines her comprehensive understanding of all sections of the test with her intuitive ability to understand where my learning style needed more focus or adjustment. I learned in a way that the information stayed with me. Each section of the LSAT was thoroughly reviewed. The day I walked into the testing facility I felt confident and ready.
I cannot stress enough what a key component Lori’s process is for someone like me. Trust her process and you’ll do great. Just do it. Seriously.

“Worth every penny.”
“Lori is an amazing tutor who truly cares about her students. Unlike a college student strapped for cash, this is her full time job and she knows the ins and outs of this ridiculously difficult but doable exam. What I appreciated the most from her was her easy-going attitude and ability to understand that each person has their own unique abilities. As a filmmaker, and only four-months-removed from my second brain surgery, I was quite rusty in terms of taking multiple-choice/standardized tests and I had some self-doubts, however she sat there patiently and worked at my pace to get me to where I needed to be on the exam. She was worth every penny and I would definitely recommend her to friends and family.”

“An invaluable experience!”
“After taking an LSAT prep course from one of the major companies, I was unhappy with my practice test scores. A friend recommended Lori Vincere and I am so thankful I followed his advice. Lori’s test-taking strategies are highly effective and she has an amazing ability to make studying fun! Lori not only taught me the techniques I needed to succeed on the LSAT, but she also helped me overcome my test anxiety. Lori has a genuine concern for her students and understands that the same learning style does not work for everyone; Lori finds the approach that will work best for the individual student. Thanks to Lori, my LSAT score improved substantially and I have continued to use skills Lori taught me for other areas of my life. Working with Lori was an invaluable experience!”

“Proud of my application”
“I’m proud of my application’s content because of my partnership with Lori. Applying to law school is unlike anything I’ve ever done before and every part of it matters. Lori was instrumental in crafting my personal statements and the various addendum sections of the different law schools I applied to.”

“Her experience was invaluable.”
“When I finally received the score I needed on the exam I faced the daunting task of writing an eye-catching one-of-a-kind personal statement. As a filmmaker and only four-months-removed from my second brain surgery, I knew had many things I could write, but I didn’t know what I should write. Just like the LSAT prep, Lori sat there willing to help me tell MY story. Her personal experience and the experience of helping other students write personal statements was invaluable when it came to polishing my paper. Her expertise in addenda was helpful in determining what was and wasn’t going to help me. Also her ability to look at the smallest of details was what turned my ‘okay’ application into an ‘excellent’ one. I know I wouldn’t have gotten into these law schools without her help.”
