Highlights
We dove into today’s Devil’s Advocate class by tackling student questions on building test stamina and keeping focus on difficult passages. Robert shared strategies for “gamifying” the test that can help make it more interesting and fun. We dissected three LR questions: a Must-Be-True about doctors blaming peers for drug company influences, a Flaw question on experts’ incorrect conclusions about the first civilization to make alcohol, and a Reasoning question calling out someone for not believing their own argument. We wrapped up with more student questions, focusing on how predictions can boost speed and accuracy.

Robert's really great at breaking down everything piece by piece and showing the process from a student's end as we actively think about these passages when reading them in real time. He's also super helpful when it comes to answering any questions!Spencer B.
Every class with Robert, you go in to learn one new thing , but you end up learning five. He brings high energy every class, and is opportunistic with teaching concepts to all students regardless of level.Rachel B.
Robert is so careful with how he articulates himself, in particular the manner in which he provides feedback. He is a great instructor, and never rushes students or the process of learning!Shriya R.
Robert is an amazing teacher! He is kind, thoughtful, and very easy to talk to! Prior to his class, I often found myself frustrated when reading LR questions, but his advice on approaching each question as a conversation with the author really helped to reorient the way I viewed the section and the test as a whole! Thankful to Robert for all his help!Shivraj S.
Genuinely one of my favourite tutors. Robert's advice is great, and he breaks down LR and even RC into very simple ways. He's always incredibly friendly and always willing to stay after and help answer questions for the class. I always look forward to Robert's class!Emma G.
Robert's guidance through passages is helpful while still leaving room for you to make inferences independently! He attacks questions masterfully and is very patient with students.Anonymous
Robert explains things soooo clearly! He is an incredible instructor.Spencer B.
Robert is extremely passionate. His explanations provide so many "aha" moments. You will leave his class with a sense of clarity and purpose.Zeina S.
Robert is so great at stripping down rc passages. he teaches us to dissect what the lsat gives us into a 'common sense' approach. There is no need to be intimidated by the sometimes convoluted language, when you take a second to think about the point of each sentence. The way he reads aloud, and asks question in between sentences, is SO helpful. I want to emulate his style of reading comprehension with every passageDemonda I.
He makes it so simple with his step-by-step process when it comes to LR and is really good at getting you to become an active reader and attacking the questions.Pradnya L.
Attending Robert's classes is truly a breath of fresh air for me, personally. As someone who is aiming for a similar score jump, I am not only optimistic but also more determined than ever to not be tempted by the traps of the LSAT. His approach is so simple yet so skilled and that's the biggest advantage I see because anyone can emulate it! Check out Robert's class and you will thank yourself!Joshua S.
Robert is the man. He breaks down the passage part by part and then picks apart the argument. His approach helps us truly understand what we're reading so we can destroy these questions.
