Sound Familiar?

The LSAT doesn't have to feel impossible.

📉

You've plateaued

You've done the courses and the books. Your score won't budge. You need someone who can pinpoint exactly where your thinking goes sideways.

😰

Test day nerves kill your score

You nail practice tests but freeze when it counts. You need a coach who gets the mental game, not just the material.

🎯

You're chasing 170+

The 170s take precision. You need a tutor who actually lives at that score range — not one who just teaches about it.

💸

Big-name courses let you down

You spent thousands on a generic class with 30 other students. You need instruction built around how your mind works.

Paul Fryfogle

Lead Tutor & Founder

I used to teach for a major national LSAT prep company. I left because I got tired of watching smart people get lost in one-size-fits-all programs. I've since logged over 2,700 hours of private instruction and picked up 761 five-star reviews — but what I'm most proud of is the students who came in stuck and left with scores they didn't think were possible.

Don't take our word for it — take theirs.

★★★★★
"Paul is, without a doubt, the best LSAT tutor I've worked with. I was plateauing for months in the high 150s after an expensive course and two other tutors. I learned more from Paul than from those resources put together."
— Simran 158 → 174 28 lessons
★★★★★
"Paul has a gift for teaching that comes once in a generation. I went from the high 160s to the high 170s and scored my first 179 on a PT after just a few weeks. Do yourself a favour and pick him."
— Elias High 160s → High 170s 15 lessons
★★★★★
"Paul completely changed my life. He isn't just a tutor — he's a mentor and a voice of reason. Applied to 12 of the top 14 law schools — all A's so far."
— Leo 146 → 172 69 lessons
★★★★★
"I worked with him for seven months and received a 178. Sessions often ran over time, and he would only move on when I genuinely understood it."

Admissions Consulting with Elias

Georgetown Law J.D. Candidate · Admissions Counselor

I've sat on both sides of the admissions table — as an applicant who got into Georgetown, and as a counselor who helps students put together competitive applications. I know what admissions committees are actually looking for, and I'll help you put your best case forward.

I'm currently building a college counseling program for schools across the Middle East, and I bring that same strategic, big-picture thinking to every law school application I touch.

Personal Statement

FAQ

Common questions.

Prep companies give you a canned curriculum and a room full of students. We build everything around you — your weaknesses, your schedule, your goal score.

All of them. We've helped students in the 140s build fundamentals and students in the high 160s break into the 170s. The approach adapts to wherever you are.

Most students notice a shift within the first 2–3 sessions. Meaningful score jumps typically happen over 4–10 sessions depending on where you're starting.

All online via Zoom or Google Meet. Screen sharing makes real-time problem walkthroughs easy, and you can work with us from anywhere.

Yes — it's a big part of what we do. Personal statements, résumés, school list strategy, and full application review. Elias brings firsthand perspective as a Georgetown Law student and admissions counselor. Paul has helped dozens of students with personal statements and school selection. See our admissions services →

Groups are 3–6 students (small) or 7+ (large), focused on a specific section or question type each session. It's a great option if you want quality instruction at a lower price, or if you're studying with friends.
