How Much Does an LSAT Tutor Cost in 2026?

Most LSAT tutoring costs somewhere between $45 and $300 an hour in 2026. The big prep companies sell packages that start at about $2,000 and work out to roughly $120 to $200 an hour, more for their premium tiers. Independent tutors usually charge by the hour. I charge $150 an hour pay as you go, or $125 an hour when you prepay 10 hours.

Here's what the main options cost right now, what you're actually paying for, and how to keep the bill down.

What the big companies charge

These prices come from each company's own pricing page on October 13, 2026. Sales come and go, so check before you buy.

Kaplan: packages of 10, 20, 30 or 40 hours, starting at $1,999. That's about $200 an hour for the 10-hour package.
Blueprint: Core tutoring starts at $2,429 for 16 hours on sale ($2,699 regular), about $152 to $169 an hour. Premium, with a 99th-percentile tutor, starts at $3,779, and the 170+ package starts at $4,319. Blueprint also adds LSAC's $124 LawHub Advantage fee at checkout unless you already have it.
Juris Education: $4,500 for 24 hours ($188 an hour), $7,000 for 48 hours ($146), $8,000 for 60 hours ($133) and $11,500 for 96 hours ($120).
Wyzant: a marketplace where tutors set their own rates. Wyzant says its LSAT tutors average $45 to $89 an hour. Several of its most-reviewed LSAT tutors charge $195 to $300.

The per-hour price drops as the package gets bigger. That's how packages work: you pay less per hour by paying for more hours up front.

What a package actually includes

A company package is more than tutoring hours. Depending on the company, you also get course access, a question bank, a study-plan tool, help matching with a tutor, and sometimes a score guarantee.

That's worth it if you'll use those things. If you already have LawHub and a plan, you're paying for a course you won't open.

Read the fine print on guarantees. Juris Education, for example, guarantees a 165 or higher on your next test, and if you miss it you get free extra tutoring sessions. That's more tutoring, not your money back. My score guarantee works the same way: it covers students who put in the hours with me, and the remedy is extra tutoring, not a refund.

What every LSAT taker pays anyway

Whatever you pick for prep, LSAC's fees are the same. For the August 2026 to June 2027 testing year:

LSAT registration: $253, including LSAT Argumentative Writing
Credential Assembly Service (CAS): $219
Law school reports: $45 for each school you apply to
LawHub Advantage, for the full library of PrepTests: $124

So before any tutoring, a student applying to eight schools is already past $900. LSAC offers fee waivers if you qualify, and it's worth checking before you register.

How many hours do you need?

It depends on three things: how far your current score is from your goal, how long you have until test day, and how much you'll study on your own. Most of your improvement happens between sessions, in your own drilling and review. A tutor's job is to find what's going wrong and make that practice time count.

So don't buy 40 hours on day one. Start with one or two sessions. Get a plan, see whether the tutor actually helps you, and then decide how much more you need.

How to spend less

Know your weak areas before you pay anyone. Upload your LawHub score report to the free diagnostic. It sorts your misses by question type, so your first session goes to real problems instead of an hour spent figuring out where you stand.
Pay by the hour if you can. You can stop as soon as you've got what you need.
Use sessions for what you can't do alone. Drilling 30 questions while a tutor watches is expensive practice. Bring the questions you still couldn't explain after your own review.
Ask about the tutor, not the company. You'll be working with one person. Ask about their score, how long they've tutored, and what they'd do about your weak areas.

What I charge

Private tutoring with me is $150 an hour, online and one-to-one. You can pay as you go and stop whenever you want, or prepay 10 hours or more for $125 an hour (used within 60 days; unused hours are refundable within 7 days). Strong students with a timed 167+ can apply for my advanced track at $100 an hour. I scored 177 and I tutor the LSAT full-time. I also review law school applications (essays, school lists and strategy); ask me for the rate. All the rules are in my tutoring terms.

The first step is a free 15-minute phone call, subject to availability. We talk about your score, your timeline and whether tutoring makes sense for you. Sometimes it doesn't, and I'll tell you that.
