Frequently Asked Questions
Answers about sessions, pricing, scheduling, and how Mindful Tutoring supports LSAT students.
Getting started
How do I know if Mindful Tutoring is a good fit?
The best first step is the free 1-hour consultation. Emily uses that time to learn your goals, timeline, current study process, and what has felt frustrating so far, then recommends a tutoring plan that fits your situation.
What should I bring to the first consultation?
Bring your most recent LSAT score or diagnostic score if you have one, your target score, your expected test date, and any notes about what feels hardest. If you are just starting, that is completely fine too.
Can I start tutoring if I have not taken a diagnostic yet?
Yes. A diagnostic can be helpful, but it is not required before reaching out. The first conversation can help decide when to take one and how to use the results productively.
Tutoring style
What makes Mindful Tutoring different from a course?
Tutoring is built around how you think, not around a preset class script. Sessions focus on diagnosing the habits behind missed questions, rebuilding logical fundamentals, and making the LSAT feel less mysterious.
Do sessions include homework or a study plan?
Yes. Students receive guidance on what to practice between sessions, how to review mistakes, and how to structure study time around their test date and schedule.
Can tutoring help with LSAT anxiety?
Yes. Mindful Tutoring works with students who feel anxious, stuck, or overwhelmed by the test. Sessions focus on both LSAT reasoning and the patterns that cause students to freeze, rush, or second-guess themselves.
Scheduling and pricing
How much does tutoring cost?
Mindful Tutoring charges a straightforward rate of $200 per hour after the free initial consultation. There are no tiered packages or surprise fees.
How often should I meet with a tutor?
Most students meet weekly, but the right cadence depends on your timeline, score goal, budget, and how much independent study you can realistically complete between sessions.
Are sessions online?
Yes. Sessions are designed to work online, making it easier for students across the United States to work with Mindful Tutoring from wherever they study best.
LSAT prep questions
Do you work with students who are scoring in the 130s or 140s?
Yes. Emily built her own score from the 130s to a 177, so she understands what it feels like to be stuck and how to rebuild the fundamentals from the ground up.
Can you help if I am already scoring high but need a few more points?
Yes. Higher-scoring students often need sharper review habits, better timing decisions, and a clearer process for the question types or reasoning patterns that still cost them points.
Do you help with LSAT accommodations?
Mindful Tutoring can help students think through study strategy and practice conditions, but accommodations decisions and documentation should be handled through LSAC and the appropriate professionals.
