… Every moment spent with Peg is valuable as she truly helps build your understanding ... from the ground up. … [more] ... With an exam such as the LSAT, it can be challenging to maintain motivation and positivity over the span of several months, but with Peg, I genuinely looked forward to every session and self-practice following each session as her methods and positive attitude built such a stable basis for preventing burnout ... In summation, I could not recommend Peg enough; her services are truly priceless! Brita B.
"She really likes you and says she has learned so much and thinks so differently now.... Each time she has tutoring with you she says she feels more prepared and knowledgeable. You truly have an especially effective way of teaching … I'll recommend you all day long." Linda S. Ward, parent of tutee
"Quite simply, your strategies work — I cannot make it any more straightforward than that. (I reached, and exceeded, my goal, increasing my score by 14 points.) You have fundamentally changed both how I think and how I see the world for the better. Your influence has left a greater lasting impression on me more than any teacher I've ever had." Joe Morris
"Peg is amazing! Her extensive experience both as a former writer of LSAT questions and as a teacher of critical thinking at the university level positions her perfectly to coach students as they prepare to take the LSAT...[more] In addition, her wit and sense of humour made the tutorials very enjoyable. I highly recommend her as a tutor to anyone preparing to take the LSAT!" Claire H.
She really likes you and says she has learned so much and thinks so differently now.... Each time she has tutoring with you she says she feels more prepared and knowledgeable. You truly have an especially effective way of teaching, and it resonates in your passion as you describe your goals for your students’ knowledge and beliefs. I am absolutely sure that her confidence in her LSAT ability and beyond is attributed to you! … I'll recommend you all day long. Linda S. Ward, parent of tutee
"Peg does not simply prepare you for the LSAT; she teaches you the how to think critically at a very high level. This is a skill that is absolutely necessary for scoring well on the LSAT and for the study of law. ... Peg is always enthusiastic and energetic during sessions. These are contagious qualities. ... I came to Peg scoring in the 148-152 range and increased to 160-168, writing 12 prep tests in a row, scoring in the 160s every single time! I was able to duplicate this success on test day and walked out with a 161." [more] N.B.
"… Once I learned that she wrote a book about critical thinking and reasoning (Critical Thinking: An Appeal to Reason, Routledge 2011) and that she was a previous writer for LSAC employed to write questions for the LSAT exams, I was intrigued. After speaking with her on the phone, I was sold. … Peg Tittle is a brilliant teacher. Please consider her before purchasing any of the crash courses. After just a couple months of intensive work with Peg, I scored a 169 on my first practice test..."[more]" Pete Baldwin, President, Platinum Realty Network, Law School Candidate
"Hearing Peg think out loud is priceless!" [more]" C.L., LSAT tutee
"Tutoring sessions with Peg are amazing! When I first read that Peg's tutoring sessions were over the phone (or Skype in cases of bad phone connection), I was hesitant as to how it would work out. After our first session, however, this concern was put right to bed! Peg explains and articulates her process so well. Along with hearing her verbalize her thought process, she makes sure you really understand the question, what it's asking for and why a certain answer is the correct one.

"Just started law school this week and … in my first lecture, critical thinking was brought up (of course). Really brought me back to our very first tutoring session … What a life long skill I now have, thanks to you." T.C. first year law
"Initially, I was wary of hiring someone with whom I would be communicating only by phone, but my initial call with Peg was so excellent I hired her on the spot and only wish that I had done so sooner. The program that Peg takes her students through is exceptional: she breaks down the sections and progresses at a pace that is practical, her approach is customized to her students, and she had specific methods to improve my weaknesses. I would not have improved as substantially as I did without Peg's help." E. G.
"I began tutoring sessions with Peg in early August, after having done a little preparation myself (I was getting scores in the high 140s and low 150s, and was struggling to improve). Her approach to LSAT tutoring, from the early stages to the week of the test, was incredibly effective and manageable. [more] After working through my weaknesses and implementing her plan for stamina-building and taking full, 5-section timed tests, I went very calmly into the LSAT and walked away with my target score of 167: a whole 20 points higher than when I was studying independently! I would recommend her to anyone preparing for the LSAT." Jaime M., legally-blonde-wannabe
"I wish I'd found you sooner! Without you, I was lost! You're the best thing...[more]" Hailey B., law-school-student-wannabe
"I received tutoring from Peg for several months and the effect was outstanding... [more] With Peg's help, I was able to improve my score by more than 15 points and gain admission to the University of Pennsylvania Law School..." K. P., LSAT Tutee, U of Penn Law School
"Peg is a fabulous tutor. Patient, animated, and very thorough, phone tutoring sessions with Peg were extremely helpful in preparing for the LSAT. ... She was always willing to answer all of my questions, and took time to ensure that I really understood the whole of the question… Without a doubt, I came a long way with Peg, and I am really thankful...[more]" Maddie P., LSAT tutee
"No gimmicks or '10 steps to LSAT success' here, just good, solid guidance from a very experienced and effective LSAT tutor... [more] With Peg, you are actually learning about logic, not just trying to find a way to hack through the test. This made the tutoring sessions much more interesting, and helped me to remember what I learned through understanding, not just by rote." Daniel G., LSAT Tutee, Melbourne, Australia
"I chose Peg because of her history of writing LSAT questions and teaching background...[more] I absolutely recommend her and her no-nonsense approach." Emily
"I just received my LSAT score … 11 whole points higher than my previous score!! This is well beyond what I thought I would get, and I would not have been even close to achieving this if it had not been for your help. Just wanted to take the time to extend my gratitude to you, especially for the patience it took to work with me. If anyone ever asks if I know any good tutors, I will absolutely be recommending your services." Anthony L., law school bound
"After months of self-guided studying for the LSAT, I felt like my progress was plateauing. … I was impressed with Peg's experience. As a test writer, she knew the test better than anyone. … She has a great sense of what the test writers are asking for … . Her RC techniques helped me score a 172!" Caitlyn L.
"Point blank, period: the LSAT is a critical thinking exam, and without a doubt, Peg Tittle is an excellent critical thinking tutor. After working with Peg for ONLY six hours (plus tons and tons of self-study), I improved my LSAT score from a 166 (93rd percentile) to a 174 (99th percentile) in the summer of 2021. ...[more]" Nick (T14-Accepted 0L)

"I’m really grateful that I found your book. It is an invaluable resource. I have read other books about logic in my attempt to master the LSAT, so I have a frame of reference when comparing your book to others. Your book and the LSAT fit like a key and lock; the concepts and logic discussed are so perfectly matched to my needs for understanding the LSAT. I find the logic can be challenging, but your book is written in manner that is very accessible; it’s entertaining and informative. Like the SuperPrep explanations, this book is 'straight from the horse's mouth' so to speak." Catia L., student
