About Bob Verini
I've spent more than 45 years teaching the LSAT and helping students reach scores they once thought were out of reach.
After earning my master's degree from Indiana University, I began my LSAT career when I was hired by Stanley Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Inc., as a teacher and course developer. I went on to serve as a Director, manage Kaplan's LSAT curriculum for two decades, develop LSAT materials, author multiple LSAT books, and train LSAT teachers.
Over the course of my career, I've taught more than 10,000 students and helped students achieve score increases of up to 30 points, including multiple students who have earned perfect 180 scores. Today, I work privately with students, providing highly personalized LSAT tutoring and admissions guidance.
Why Work With Me
I've personally scored a perfect 180 on the LSAT multiple times. More importantly, I've spent more than 45 years studying and teaching this test—learning where students struggle, why they make the mistakes they make, and what separates good scores from exceptional ones.
My approach is built on identifying exactly where you're losing points and focusing our work where your time will have the greatest impact. Every student is different, so I tailor our work to your individual strengths, weaknesses, and goals.
I've also helped students strengthen their law school applications through strategic guidance and personal statement development.
Additional Background
Beyond LSAT instruction, I bring a unique set of experiences that inform how I teach and communicate.
Featured Appearance: Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions
I'm a five-time Jeopardy! champion, including a Tournament of Champions victory. Competing successfully at that level required many of the same skills I emphasize with LSAT students: careful reading, disciplined reasoning, recognizing patterns, and performing accurately under pressure.
I've also been a contributor to Variety since 1996, writing about television and entertainment. That experience has reinforced something I've emphasized throughout my teaching career: clear thinking and clear communication go hand in hand.
