How much does LSAT tutoring cost?
Check out our Pricing page and find out!
elleSAT students are budget-conscious and like to do their research, so of course they want to know how much they can expect to spend. The answer, unfortunately, is the lawyer’s refrain: it depends. We do our best to make educated guesses in consultations, but there’s no tutoring hours: point increase formula.
Because every student is different, the best we can do is provide information about how much time and money our students spend with us. On our new Pricing page, you’ll find a first-of-its-kind resource that lets you see real tutoring results. You may see some trends: students with more experienced tutors progress a little more quickly (that’s why we charge different prices); some score jumps take longer to make.
This page means a lot to me personally. As a young professional, I watched with envy as my friends’ parents purchased expensive LSAT classes for them. These lucky young people were able to start their careers with significantly less debt as their scores unlocked scholarships and opportunities at elite schools. It wasn’t until my early thirties that I finally felt financially secure enough to consider making career change to do something I really wanted to do.
Working with a tutor on an hourly basis made achieving a high LSAT score possible for me, and I started elleSAT because I had a hunch that 1) students could get better results with private tutoring for the same price they’d pay for a group class, and 2) that there were other tutors like me who would want to work directly with students like us.
We ask new tutors to join us at $35/hr because that’s the hourly cost paid per student in a discounted online class at a leading LSAT company. It also happens to be close to the starting hourly compensation for tutors at companies that charge students more than twice what they pay their tuttos.
My hunch that students can get better results for the same price as group classes was dead-on, but because private tutoring at the bigger companies is so expensive, it’s been hard to communicate to prospective students that working with elleSAT might be their cheapest option.
With the Pricing page, we’re finally able to get that point across with information about how much time and money our students spend with us. We’ll be updating after each LSAT score release to help you make the most informed decision possible as you consider investing in LSAT prep.
