Instructors

At HarvardReady we know that if there is one thing that can make or break a course, it’s the quality of the instructor. As such, we make no compromises in this field. First, we only hire the cream of the crop –our instructors have scored at least a 170 on an officially administered LSAT (that’s the top 2% of all test takers). Of course, that’s hardly enough; we also screen our instructors for personality, to make sure they’re both engaging and personable. As a result, while our pool of instructors may be limited, you can rest assured that the quality of your instructor will not.

Yoni (John) Stratievsky

Known to leap tall structures in single bounds, Yoni is a skilled acrobat with a penchant for the LSAT.

Sort of. He’s not really an acrobat. Nor can he actually leap tall structures in any number of bounds. But, the penchant for the LSAT thing is true. Very true. Yoni has worked with hundreds of students in both large classroom and private tutoring settings. Coming out with plenty of experience and countless positive reviews, Yoni helped us develop the HarvardReady program.

Yoni’s general approach is easygoing and humorous to keep his students engaged, but thorough to ensure they have all they need to excel. He is known for his ability to pick apart the toughest of arguments or passages by relating them to everyday examples.

Yoni maintains that his LSAT score of 179 (99.96%) is the result of a bubbling error on his Scantron. We’ve chosen to reserve our judgment on the matter.





Allan Cousins

Having rocked the LSAT after taking a HarvardReady course himself, Allan decided formulating logic games before going to sleep every night just wasn’t enough. Naturally he came right back to us, whiteboard marker in hand, ready to teach.

If you can stand his ultra geekiness – and according to him, you can’t expect much more from an engineer – Allan will have little problem helping you foster a love for the LSAT on par with his. Or, if you find that a little awkward, he’ll just help you get a kickass LSAT score. You know, whichever.

When he’s not formulating mathematical models for figuring out the probability of dinosaur-theme questions showing up on the next LSAT, Allan can be found eating jujubes and working hard to break the high score in Super Smash Brothers ’64. Living the dream Allan, living the dream.
