Erik is a phenomenal tutor! He really gets into the nitty gritty making difficult questions easy. His enthusiasm for the test is crucial while studying for the LSAT, and positive attitude always makes ZOOM classes a great time.Megan N.
Erik is amazing at dumbing down the question to the point that anyone can understand. For every convoluted sentence, whether it is LR and RC, he really knows how to break it down sentence by sentence, and every few words.Dom D.
I really enjoy Erik’s new approach to getting us students to engage with the material. Asking us to say “stop” or “I object” to LR/RC stimuli and answers is really honing the skills that Ben, Nathan, and all of the LSAT Demon team’s members demonstrate. Not only does it help us cut down on distracting information, but it will also help us avoid traps and save time without sacrificing accuracy.Anna Y.

Erik can read/explain a topic I've never heard/cared about in my life, & I'll be able to understand & explain it perfectly tomorrow. His explanation in all areas LSAT has been thorough, and engaging & I feel more confident about the LSAT thanks to that.Jake F.
