In addition, we can provide computer skills training at every level, including Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, Photoshop, Quicken, Flash MX, Windows and OSX.

Help with college, law school and med school applications process:

We will combine our knowledge and experience to help you maximize your chances of gaining admission to your top-choice school. We'll work with you on refining your list of schools and deciding whether applying to college early is right for you and we will make recommendations to strengthen your admissions case. [Harvard, Princeton, The University of Virginia and a number of other schools have ended their early admissions programs, but many have not.]

We will streamline your application process and make sure your effort stands out from the rest. If you are located in Metro West, Metro North or the Greater Boston area, our college applications coaches will provide home or library visits at your convenience.

Law school applications:

If you are applying to law school, our LSAT coach can help you write your personal statement, prepare for the LSAT, attend to your applications and/or prepare for your interviews. Our LSAT coach's own score--161--afforded him a full scholarship to New England School of Law. He is a practicing Massachusetts lawyer and an experienced LSAT prep tutor.

Success on the LSAT is crucial to obtaining admission to an accredited law school. Whether or not you intend to practice law, a law degree can be instrumental in opening new career opportunities. The skills required to perform well on the LSAT are not intuitive and do not come easily to most students. Thus, there is no more effective means to improve your score than one-on-one coaching with a licensed and practicing attorney. Our law school application process coach understands the skills required to succeed on the LSAT and can offer added counseling on post-law school career opportunities.

College application essays or personal statement for law school:

We will help you to better position your strengths and minimize any perceived weaknesses and we will provide essay consulting and editing services. We can also help you create a dynamic resume that highlights your key extracurricular activities and accomplishments and, if you are applying to colleges that offer on-campus or alumni interviews, we'll include interview training sessions to make sure you are prepared to shine in the interview.

Scholarship and grant applications support:

Rising university tuition has coupled with the recent economic slowdown, making it harder for families to afford college. Many lenders like the Massachusetts Educational Financing Authority and Bank of America are reducing or even eliminating their student loan programs. One of our tutors has been extraordinarily successful with grants and scholarships. He specializes in helping applicants to identify the most promising options for external financial aid. Once the best possibilities have been identified he will work with you to pursue those awards and reduce the burden of private loans. Lexington Tutoring is committed to strengthening your academic and financial resources in order to prepare you for effective independence in college.
