Alex Trugman

Before pivoting into LSAT tutoring, Alex built a distinguished career in education. He taught at The Buckley School in Los Angeles and Stevenson School in Carmel, where he led both academic and music programs. He developed innovative courses that integrated analytical rigor with creative problem-solving and cultivated a structured, engaging teaching style that has guided hundreds of students to success.

In his LSAT preparation, Alex discovered that success on the exam is not about innate ability but about training reasoning the way a musician trains the ear or a scientist refines a method. He broke the test down to its fundamentals and teaches students to recognize the patterns beneath each question, understand why arguments fail, and think with clarity and precision. With over a decade of teaching experience, he has developed a rare ability to pinpoint where a student’s understanding falters and how to bridge that gap. His instruction is conversational, structured, and adaptive, ensuring every student feels understood and supported.
