Real Student Success Stories

Our students consistently achieve remarkable results on the LSAT. Here are some of their stories:

167 → 180
+13 points

"My Theoryworks tutor was really helpful and I credit working with him for helping me break the plateau I got into in the high 160s."

— Sarah, Advanced Curriculum

165 → 174
+9 points

"Do yourself a favor and instead of trying to learn by watching a thousand video tutorials, invest in working with an actual, live person who can answer your questions, cater the learning to you, and develop your action plan to get into the 170s."

— Meagan, Advanced Curriculum

157 → 174
+17 points

"This 2-hour session ended up being more valuable than my entire last month of studying, and changed the way I looked at LR. Even if I hadn't pursued further tutoring with Theoryworks after that, this session would have changed my entire approach to the exam."

— Josh, Advanced Curriculum

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our LSAT preparation services.

What makes Theoryworks different from other LSAT prep companies?

Unlike large test prep companies, we're a boutique service focusing exclusively on the LSAT with 99th percentile tutors who are professional teachers, not just high scorers. At the moment, we only have three tutors, all of whom teach the LSAT professionally on a full-time basis. We do not hire tutors who teach the exam "on the side" like most test-prep companies. Our goal is to provide a specialized boutique service for those who are ambitious and serious about improving their performance on the LSAT. At Theoryworks, your instructor will not only be good at the LSAT, they will be good at teaching the LSAT, which is a very different thing.

I am looking for a fundamentally new approach to the LSAT. How is your approach different?

Here is the short answer to this question: We will teach you what works. Our instructors teach the exam for a living, which means they have a sophisticated understanding of what is going to be on the exam and how it will challenge you. We may teach a novel way of answering Flaw in the Reasoning Questions compared to more mainstream companies, for example, but that is incidental to our primary goal.

To do well on the LSAT, our students know they must approach the exam in a way that is effective (so as to be able to arrive at the correct answer choice) and efficient (to be able to do so quickly).

From the beginning, we focus on helping students develop fundamental skills and abilities, not cheap techniques that offer short-term gains at the expense of long-term improvement. When we do teach specific strategies or techniques, they act to supplement—or compliment—a student's fundamental skills, not replace them.

I'm having difficulty determining which curriculum is right for me. Can you help me decide?

Of course! This is actually one of the reasons why we offer a free diagnostic trial session for all prospective students. The diagnostic session allows us to get a first-hand look at your objective level of proficiency in the exam. This allows us to give you more reliable advice about whether—or how—we might be able to help you achieve your goal. It also gives you an opportunity to experience what a session with one of our tutors is like and to assess whether we are a good fit for what you are looking for.

What happens in the free diagnostic trial session?

The free diagnostic session is a comprehensive 90-minute evaluation where we assess your current abilities, understand your goals, and identify the optimal approach for your LSAT preparation. We'll review any previous experience with the test, analyze your strengths and weaknesses, discuss your target score and timeline, and recommend the most suitable curriculum. It's also an opportunity for you to experience our teaching methodology firsthand with no obligation.

How much can I expect my LSAT score to improve?

While results vary based on starting point, commitment, and timeline, our students see an average improvement of 10-12 points. Many students achieve even greater gains, especially those who complete our full curricula. Our highest achievers have improved by 20+ points from their diagnostic to final scores, and we've had over 10 students achieve a perfect 180 in the past five years.

Do you offer a score guarantee?

We do not offer a score guarantee because we cannot guarantee whether a student will follow through on their commitment to studying outside of our sessions/classes. How well you do on the day of the exam largely depends on how much time, energy, and effort you are willing to invest in improving before that day arrives. We have helped countless students achieve extraordinary results on the LSAT, including perfect scores of 180, and by far the most reliable indicator of test-day performance is a student's study ethic. That being said, however, both our one-on-one private tutoring and Small Class courses cover multiple retakes. If you're committed to improving, we promise to be committed to you.

Do you offer payment plans? What are your fulfillment policies?

We understand it can be difficult to afford good LSAT prep. To help make paying for our services more financially accessible, we started offering payment plan options for our private tutoring packages in January 2022. If you can't find the information you're looking for on our website, please feel free to contact us for additional details. There is also financing available through Klarna, which you can access via the payment page for each curriculum.

As a general rule, we offer refunds before the start of a curriculum in the (hopefully rare) circumstance in which either the tutor or the student are incapable of moving forward due to, for example, severe health-related issues.
