For my daughter, we set up weekly sessions in math since that is the subject she strugles the most with. For my son, we have done drop-in sessions for math and Spanish on an as-needed basis. We have used them about 10 times and will continue to as it has helped both my kids tremendously.

My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Ann. Our son struggled with learning to…read moreread in Kindergarten. Learning sight words was particularly problematic for him as was identifying rhyming words and following multi-step directions. I am a former teacher, and my bag of tricks was not helping him. Ann evaluated our son in March of his Kinder year and quickly identified fundamental areas that we needed to address. We also began a Listening program using sound therapy to target sensory motor issues. Ann is the ultimate professional, but she is also a great motivator and coach. Although my son had started to shut down at school and with us at home, he was willing to work for Ann. She is just the right combination of no-nonsense and positive encouragement. She knows her stuff. I immediately felt that my son was safe in her hands and that our money was well spent. As a parent, I learned so much from watching Ann work with my son, and she gave me the confidence to implement what she was doing with my son at home. My son worked with Ann throughout the summer after his Kinder year on reading (in addition to doing a sound therapy program). The progress he has made with reading is truly remarkable, and I cry when I think about the difference in my boy in less than a year. We were already beginning to hear him make comments that he wasn't smart and that reading was too hard for him. Under Ann's guidance and instruction, our son's confidence has soared. Not only is he reading, but he views himself as a capable learner and reader -- HUGE!!

When I first talked to Varsity Tutors I was skeptical because it's online. However, I decided to…read moretry it because it was webinar based and my class was small (3 people, eventually 2). I got a very flexible instructor Marcela from Mexico City currently residing in the Midwest to teach Spanish. She had such a jovial disposition and a good understanding of not just her native language and culture but ours. She pointed out what words or phrases no one uses and easier ways to say things. We wrote, we spoke, we learned. I'd love to do it again. I just hope my instructor is Marcela. The next person has very big shoes to fill. The courses are twice a week for an hour and a half for 8 weeks. They're fun but there is no syllabus and your learning is catered to you not a piece of paper.

The LSAT was a true beast for me. It was so very hard. I was sitting at a 165. After working with…read moreRachel for half a year while working full time, I got a 173 on the real thing. I give Rachel a lot of credit for that. If you're like me, you take an online LSAT course, read several LSAT prep books, take a bunch of practice tests, then plateau in the low-160s. The LSAT did not come intuitively for me, and as all LSAT takers know, one question may translate to one or maybe even two points. So, if someone can give you a tip to help you get an additional question right, that literally translates to an extra point on the test. Below are several tips Rachel gave me specifically for what I struggled with: 1. A necessary assumption question's answer may also be a sufficient assumption; don't get confused. 2. For strengthening questions, Imagine you're giving a PowerPoint presentation trying to convince your audience of something. 3. Using shapes is a powerful method for attacking certain logic games. 4. Try doing LR questions backwards. For some people (like me), the psychological benefit of doing easier and easier questions as you move along may help. 5. For splitting game boards in LG, split them using rules that form the biggest "blocks". 6. For some people (like me), diagramming frequently in LR actually slows you down way too much. Rachel pointed that out to me; I never would've realized it. I never thought doing away with diagramming would actually increase my speed and accuracy. I imagine Rachel would give you different tips based on your specific weaknesses. After all, the tips above were provided to me based on my particular weaknesses she observed. Importantly, the LSAT is already a struggle, and you don't need a tutor who's just there to make some money on the side. Rachel is not like that. She shows up eager to help more than anything else. Thanks a lot Rachel; I owe you one!

Before writing this review in depth, I would like to begin by stating that Rachel's coaching &…read moretutoring was crucial in my preparation for the September 2022 LSAT, and her guidance was instrumental in receiving a 170s score on the exam - Rachel was a terrific teacher for me on my LSAT journey. For what it's worth, as a former PhD student with experience as a teaching assistant at a university, I can attest to the soundness & effectiveness of her pedagogical methods. Now, onto the rest of the review. At the age of 32, I decided it was time for something new, and started to study for the LSAT. I started off with all the usual recommendations such as The LSAT Trainer, the PowerScore LSAT Bible Trilogy, and The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning. Self-studying with these books as well as a 7Sage account brought me to a good fundamental understanding of the LSAT, and after 9 months of studying, I received a 164 on my 1st LSAT. It was a bit of an underperformance, but indicative of the fact that some important details were missing from my understanding of the material & exam. I came across Rachel & Starpath Prep on Reddit after reading a positive account of a former student who had been a similar situation to me. After the scheduled consultation, we met over Zoom on a weekly basis for 2.5 months. During that time, my finer understanding & confidence in the LSAT grew each and every session as we went over RC & LR sections. As an adult diagnosed with ADHD, the organized daily study planning & check-ins were tremendously helpful in staying accountable and on-track. During our 2-hour weekly sessions, she made sure that all the fundamentals were understood to create a base from which to expand further into the nitty gritty details. She was able to quickly diagnose which question types were my problem areas, and also some more general test-taking tendencies that I had. Throughout all of this, she was patient & kind while being articulate & instructive - this was able to bring about both a well-rounded & pointed understanding of the material & question types. This allowed me to eliminate much of the hesitancy in my weaker question types (namely SA, NA, Flaw, Parallel Reasoning in LR). Essentially, my weaker areas were shored up while strengths were reinforced. As many who have been studying for the LSAT know, confidence is key and this cannot be understated, especially for those who are looking for a high score where the margins of error are so slim. With Rachel's help, we were able to systematically create a plan that gave me a solid sense of direction & pacing going into test day, and this preparation allowed me to take the real thing without too much additional pressure (as far as that is actually possible). I bought into the system, trusted the process, and the end result was a rewarding one. In addition, Rachel was more than accommodating with certain scheduling changes throughout our time working together as I still had other obligations in the midst of studying for the LSAT. Also, I do want to quickly mention that I believe her instruction to be of high value in terms of pricing given the quality & care in her instruction. When you consider the cost of tuition of law school in this day & age, and the potential difference in scholarship dollars at play with just a few increased points on your LSAT score, it should give one an appropriate & well-measured perspective on the matter. In conclusion, Rachel was a pleasure to work with, through and through, and for anyone who is serious about improving their understanding of the LSAT & ultimately their actual score, I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel & Starpath Prep on your journey to achieving your LSAT goals.
