Here are 10 of the best, most reputable LSAT tutoring options you can realistically choose from right now - with strengths and published pricing where available. The "best" one depends on your score range, target, and how you learn, so I am also giving you a fast selection checklist at the end.
Also: make sure any tutor is teaching the current LSAT (4 x 35-minute multiple-choice sections; LR + RC; plus an unscored variable section).
10 best LSAT tutoring options (reputable and transparent)
Table - Who each is best for, and what it costs
| # | Tutor / Service | Best for | Published pricing (examples) | Why it is on the "best" list | Watch-outs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7Sage Private Tutoring | Students who want analytics-driven, highly targeted remediation | 5h $1,099, 10h $1,999, 20h $3,999 | Clear packages plus performance-data focus and structured planning | Best results if you will actually do heavy homework and review (tutoring alone will not carry) |
| 2 | PowerScore Private Tutoring | Students who want structured fundamentals and systematic LR/RC skill-building | Hourly $175/hr (2-hour minimum), 5h $800, 10h $1,500, 20h $2,800 | Very established LSAT pedagogy with transparent bundles | Make sure your tutor match fits your style (some learners prefer less "system") |
| 3 | Blueprint LSAT Tutoring | Students who want a premium tutor and course ecosystem setup | "Core" from $2,699; "Premium" from $4,199 | Structured support plus integrated course access and guarantee language | Often more expensive; confirm what "from" includes (hours, length, terms) |
| 4 | TestMasters Tutoring | Students who want a big, established org with extensive internal materials | $200/hr, 10h $1,750, 25h $3,750 | Long-standing LSAT presence with clear tutoring pricing | Big-company variance exists - ask who your tutor is before buying large bundles |
| 5 | The Princeton Review (LSAT LiveOnline Tutoring - New Format) | Students who want brand-name tutoring with structured packages | 10h $1,800; 30h $5,000 | Transparent "new format" tutoring products with fixed bundles | Pricing is premium; make sure you get a tutor match and a review system (not just lecturing) |
| 6 | Manhattan Prep (Course + Tutoring add-on) | Students who want small-class instruction plus some 1-on-1 | "Complete Course + Tutoring" starting $2,198 | Strong structured instruction with tutoring hours included | It is not purely tutoring; best if you want a course plus a little 1-on-1 |
| 7 | Manhattan Prep Interact (On-Demand + Tutoring add-on) | Students who want self-paced learning plus limited tutoring | "Interact Complete + Tutoring" starting $1,498 | Good if you want flexibility plus some expert help | Still not a pure tutoring model; verify how tutoring is scheduled and allocated |
| 8 | LSAT Lab Tutor Plan | Students who want subscription plus recurring tutoring without huge upfront spend | $425/month includes 2 hours tutoring/month | Predictable monthly structure and steady coaching | 2 hours per month is limited - works best if you are very disciplined between sessions |
| 9 | LSAT Demon (request-a-tutor model) | Students who want platform plus classes with optional 1-on-1 help | They offer request-a-tutor matching; Demon Live includes 15-minute consults | Strong emphasis on drilling and feedback loops with easy add-on help | Tutoring pricing is not clearly posted on the tutoring page - confirm cost before committing |
| 10 | Wyzant (marketplace for independent tutors) | Students who want to shop many tutors (and possibly find a gem) | Wyzant states tutors average $35-$60/hr | The "best tutor" is sometimes an independent - Wyzant gives volume and filtering | Quality varies widely; you must vet hard (see checklist below) |
Reality check: pricing and packages change. Always verify on the provider's current page before buying.
Non-negotiable: your tutor should use official LSAC practice tests and the real interface
No matter which tutor you choose, your practice should be anchored in LSAC LawHub Official PrepTests. LSAC notes that four full four-section PrepTests are free, and LawHub Advantage is $120 per year for the larger library.
This matters because your execution depends on the actual digital interface and real LSAT question style.
2) What Reddit says about major tutoring options (patterns and receipts)
A) 7Sage tutoring (Reddit consensus: high variance)
Positive experiences reported:
- Some users say the tutor had them record a full practice test beforehand and gave feedback just from that, then built reading-comprehension strategies around the student's exact weakness.
- Others describe a structured onboarding (intake form), a free initial session, and weekly schedules tied to the student's timeline.
Negative experiences reported:
- Multiple threads complain it was not worth the money (especially if the student already had a study system), with issues like sessions being conducted in noisy places, limited value-add, or inconsistent quality.
- Some report ghosting (missed meetings or no follow-up) after paying for packages.
- One recurring theme: turnover or lack of continuity, plus frustration that tutors were not proactively building a plan from analytics ("come to me with what you want to work on").
Reddit takeaway: 7Sage tutoring is not "good or bad" as a category - Reddit's biggest warning is that your experience can depend heavily on the individual tutor and continuity.
B) PowerScore tutoring (Reddit consensus: also mixed; match matters)
Critiques:
- One thread claims PowerScore tutors can be "hit or miss," says it felt overpriced, and strongly warns against tutors who force big packages upfront.
Positive experiences:
- Another user says PowerScore tutoring has been "great," and recommends a smart selection method: read and compare different tutors' explanations (to find who "clicks"), then request that specific tutor.
- A separate thread (including a commenter who says they are a competitor) suggests the price and value can be strong and recommends interviewing tutors by phone to see who you like and who communicates clearly.
Reddit takeaway: People are not unanimously pro- or anti-PowerScore; Reddit's consistent message is that it depends on the specific tutor, and you should actively choose (or interview) the individual.
C) Blueprint vs LSATMax (Reddit: Blueprint over LSATMax, at least in one thread)
In a thread where someone asked Blueprint vs LSATMax for 40 hours of tutoring, a commenter explicitly recommended Blueprint over LSATMax, and also pointed the user to Reddit's tutor directory while stating they generally prefer individuals over companies.
That is one thread - not universal truth - but it is a real data point from Reddit.
D) Independent tutors and Wyzant (Reddit: cheap trials can be a good filter)
A PowerScore tutoring thread recommends trying newer or cheaper tutors on Wyzant as a low-risk way to test fit (rather than paying big-company prices upfront), and again warns against package pressure.
3) The recurring Reddit advice that is actually useful (and how to apply it)
Here is what keeps coming up across threads (including complaints), translated into practical rules:
Rule 1 - Do not buy a big package until you see a real plan
A core complaint is paying for tutoring and then being told, effectively, "show up with what you want to work on," instead of the tutor proactively diagnosing and building a plan.
Your move: require a tutor to do at least one of the following in session #1:
- Diagnose 10-15 of your missed questions and label why you missed them.
- Build a 2-week written plan based on a timed section or practice test.
Rule 2 - Fit beats brand (and "fit" means explanation style plus diagnosis)
Reddit users repeatedly stress "someone you gel with," and one PowerScore-positive post says you should compare tutors' explanations and choose the one whose reasoning you understand and can replicate.
Rule 3 - Beware package pressure
One of the bluntest warnings is: avoid tutors who force you into packages upfront.
Your move: pay for 1-2 sessions first (or do a free consult), then decide.
Rule 4 - Continuity matters (ask about turnover)
Reddit complaints about tutor turnover (especially in some company settings) are common enough that you should ask directly:
- "If my tutor leaves, what happens to my plan and notes?"
Rule 5 - Use Reddit's directory as a shortlist, not as a guarantee
The directory itself says rates can change and you should verify details; it is a starting point, not certification.
How to pick the best one for you in 10 minutes
Step 1 - Pick your "tutoring need" (most people pick the wrong one)
- If you are below about 160: you usually need fundamentals, accuracy, and process - not fancy "advanced" tricks. Best fits often: PowerScore, TestMasters, Manhattan, LSAT Lab, Princeton Review.
- If you are around 160-169: you need diagnosis, timing triage, and trap immunity (why wrong feels right). Best fits often: 7Sage, PowerScore, Blueprint, LSAT Demon, a strong independent tutor (Wyzant).
- If you are 170+: you need micro-precision (hard LR/RC, inference discipline, passage viewpoint control, question selection under time). Best fits often: 7Sage, Blueprint premium, elite independents (Wyzant), specific high-end matches via Demon.
Step 2 - Ask every tutor these 5 questions (this filters out most weak tutors)
- "How do you teach the current LSAT (LR + RC; 4 x 35; variable section)?"
- "Show me your review system. What do I produce after each timed section?"
- "How do you distinguish misread vs inference vs trap vs timing panic?"
- "What homework do you assign between sessions, and how do you check it?"
- "If the tutor match is not right after the first session, what happens?"
Step 3 - Do not buy big bundles until the tutor proves 3 things
- They can diagnose your errors (not just explain answers).
- They give you a written plan (2 weeks minimum).
- They make you do structured review (error log and re-drills).
