Program Overview

LSAT

Since 1996, IHL's calling card has been LSAT preparation. IHL founder and Managing Partner Mayssoun Bydon has developed and refined a proprietary one-on-one curriculum and methodology that covers every section of the exam. Our program is effective, comprehensive, and custom-tailored to the needs of each student. It includes a full set of lectures and IHL’s own coursepacks that detail our approach and strategy for each exam section.

I used IHL’s services for my LSAT test prep and law school applications, and I could not be happier with the results. Mayssoun and the entire IHL team made the law school application process as seamless as possible. Through their LSAT test prep, I improved from my baseline LSAT score by 17 points. I was so impressed with the results that I later used IHL’s admissions consulting for my law school applications. I will be attending NYU School of Law to pursue a career as a public interest lawyer, and I could not have done it without IHL. I was so impressed with IHL that I have since recommended them to several of my friends who are applying to graduate school.

LSAT Process

To get started, complete a brief contact form. Our Chief of Staff Alex Kopko will contact you to discuss your goals and needs and get you started with a more detailed enrollment form

Generally, the preparation process begins with a diagnostic exam that you will take at home. Along with these results, we also consider factors such as learning style, learning disabilities, budget, strengths, weaknesses and goals before matching you with a tutor best suited to your individual needs.
You can work with a junior, senior or chair-level tutor. Our Founder and Managing Partner Mayssoun Bydon also works with a select number of students each year. Once you have been placed with a tutor, he or she will contact you to schedule your first session. While all of our tutors are fluent in IHL’s proven teaching methodologies, they are also flexible, dynamic educators who are able to adapt to a wide variety of individual learning styles.
Our tutors work around your schedule and can meet in person at one of our offices or remotely via Skype or Zoom. The majority of our students meet remotely, and we have found it to be as effective as in-person consultation. The length of sessions, number of sessions, and frequency of sessions is up to you! Average sessions are 2 hours in length, twice a week, for three to four months leading up to an LSAT administration.

LSAT Materials

In addition to providing students with the best commercially available LSAT study materials, our tutors also teach from IHL exclusive coursepacks, written by Managing Partner Mayssoun Bydon. These coursepacks break down each section of the test using our unique methods.

Questions About LSAT Prep

We typically advise students to dedicate at least three to four months to the preparation process, although we are happy to begin working with you at any point leading up to your test.
Tutoring is billed on an hourly basis and the rate depends on the tutor’s seniority level. There is no minimum number of tutoring hours required to enroll with IHL. Our coursepacks and other materials are billed separately. Contact our Chief of Staff Alex Kopko to discuss your options.
Wherever you are in the world, you can take advantage of our program. LSAT tutoring is available in-person at our offices in New York City or Ann Arbor, or remotely via Skype, Zoom, FaceTime or other videoconferencing platforms. The majority of our students study with us remotely, and we have found it to be as effective as in-person consultation.
The foundation of IHL’s business model is client service and sophisticated advice. IHL does not take a cookie-cutter approach to working with students. We believe that an individualized plan and mutual trust are necessary for any effective tutoring and mentoring relationship. IHL works with only 100 to 200 students a year, to ensure that we maintain our high level of service and intimate client focus. We take a team-based approach to everything we do.
