The Apollo Philosophy

Our curriculum is only as effective as the coaches that teach it - it's why we pride ourselves on only hiring the best coaches in the business. In fact, our median coach score is a 177 (out of 180) and almost all are students at the country's top law schools. If there's a prep company out there with a higher median score, we haven't found it.

Our coaches are so much more than their scores and schools, though - they're a diverse group of passionate instructors with a track record of success. They all love teaching the LSAT and get rave reviews from their students. At Apollo, we make sure each student is matched with the coach that can bring out the absolute best in them.
