What our students say:
"The first time I took the LSAT I self studied and the second time I worked with a large testing company completing an online course. Each time I scored in the low percentile with a 138 and no change in my score. I was pretty much ready to give up on my goal of being an attorney because my anxiety about taking the test again was so overwhelming. I had zero confidence in my ability to pass this test. One day while searching the LSAT on Instagram’s explore page, I found Shana’s page and arranged a consultation. Shana was SO helpful and flexible. We started right away. I worked with Shana for a year, one hour a week. Shana provided me with individualized strategies, meditation methods and some kick ass motivation. I was balancing starting a new job with heavy responsibilities and Shana kept me on track with a schedule and reassurance that I was doing awesome. I could not imagine taking this test again and not doing well, Shana eased my nerves so much and encouraged me! This February I took the LSAT again and got my goal score increasing 12 points!!! If I worked with Shana longer I am sure I could’ve crushed the test even more. After the LSAT, she guided me through the LSAT process, she also reviewed all my personal statements and applications. Shana is truly AMAZING at what she does and I owe this success all to her. I cannot thank her enough for helping me reach my goal of becoming an attorney! If you need a tutor, she is the ONE that will get you to where you want to be!" - Gaby, LSAT student, future attorney
"I grew up having anxiety and I was never the best at taking tests. I tried to pass my Praxis 2 test but I always choked up. With Shana's patience and determination she helped me study the material, as well as relieving my anxiety on test day! With Ginsburg advanced tutoring, I passed my tests with flying colors this time around!" - Alexa, Praxis Student, New Certified Teacher

Teaching Style
My approach is mastery learning- strategic and patient, at your pace. I work with you to diagnose your biggest weaknesses and teach you advanced strategies for test-taking success. Often times, weaknesses are not just found in content understanding and mastery, but also with test taking strategy and critical analysis technique. After a few 'a-ha' moments, you'll learn the approach you need and the confidence to think like the test maker and master your test!
I specialize in working with repeat test takers, and students with test taking anxiety and learning disabilities (ADHD, ADD, Asperger's, Executive Functioning, Dyslexia, and Dyscalcula).
My Hobbies
Songwriting, Rockclimbing, Cooking, Baking, Meditation, Yoga, Road biking.
