Just received this from Fisch:
Hi,
You are receiving this email because you inquired about my LSAT course.
I know some of you emailed a while ago (or numerous times) and I'm sorry I didn't respond sooner. If you've already taken the LSAT or found another teacher, I truly wish you the best of luck!
If you are still interested in my courses please read on.
Usually, my yearly teaching schedule looks like this:
1) From Feb through June I teach a M/W class in Brooklyn (Midwood) and a T/Th class in YU (Washington Heights).
2) From July through October I teach a M/W class in Brooklyn and a T/Th class in YU.
3) From November through December I usually teach a single class in YU that meets 3 times a week, M/T/Th. This class meets just as many times as the other classes of the year, but it does so over a shorter time-frame and meets more times a week.
(I don't personally do any private tutoring at all, but my sister-in-law tutors students from my classes and she's excellent. She only tutors students from the classes though.)
This year things have changed.
The LSAC (Law School Admissions Council) has made a number of changes and one of them is to no longer offer a Dec LSAT but instead to offer an LSAT at the end of January.
So my last class(es) of the year will meet from approximately November 4th until Janurary 20th.
What I'm undecided on is whether I will teach one class at YU, or teach one class in Brooklyn, or teach 2 separate classes, one in YU and one in Brooklyn.
So here's where I'm asking you what you're interested in. Based on your responses and the demand, I'll decide in the next day or two exactly what I'm offering and will reply back to everyone who answers the below.
If you don't answer, I'll assume you are no longer interested and not email you again.
Please reply back to me ASAP (the hypocrisy! I know!) with one of the following responses:
A) I want to take your course in YU from Nov-Jan
B) I want to take your course in Brooklyn from Nov-Jan
C) I want one of the above but would be okay with the other one too
D) I want to take your class in Feb through June instead
(Depending which one or ones I teach, I will decide if it meets 2 times a week or 3 times a week.)
I'm also considering teaching an AM class in Brooklyn and then a PM class at YU. So if you do choose Brooklyn, please specify if you can do PM only, or if you'd be up for a noon-time class as well.
Before you reply, please read the specific info about the course below:
The course costs 2300 dollars. (Everything you need including books is included.)
The course meets for about 2 hours and 45 minutes each night and also meets on some Sundays for proctored exams. The total number of meetings is usually 29 or 30 times including the tests.
Most students need 6 or more months to get their LSAT score to its peak, which is why even if you're planning on taking the June or July LSAT next year, now would be a good time to start studying. If you're shooting for the January test, your score will definitely improve a bunch by then and you may be ready, but you may also choose to wait and let your score improve more. There is also an LSAT given in March.
One last word about my courses:
As bad as I am at replying to emails, I'm that good at teaching the LSAT. I have had thousands of students, and a very large percentage of them have had amazing success. I hope to be able to help a lot of you reach your LSAT goals in the near future.
Thank you,
-Fischel Bensinger
