Griffon Preparation Services - Washington, District of Columbia

Griffon Prep, and Bernie specifically, are the LSAT tutors you want to have in your corner. If you’re like me, and your first LSAT was kind of rough, or even if you just need a couple points here and there, they have the tools to get you where you need to be. I improved my score by more than 10 points as part of their program and i don’t think that would’ve happened without the excellent lesson plans and Bernie’s great attitude as a teacher. At Griffon they know all the tricks and they really are invested in your success. Whatever your LSAT goal is they will get you there.

A few years ago I was planning to pursue education in the legal field and needed some serious help to crack the LSAT. Since it had been sometime that I had last graduated, I was looking for some real guidance in helping me prepare for the exam.

After my usual exhaustive search online, I came upon Griffon Prep and decided to give them a shot. I went to the first session with Jeff and was immediately sold on this place. Both Jeff and Bernie are awesome people and great teachers. I had a good learning experience with them.

I did end up with a much better score than what I had anticipated and cannot thank Bernie enough for her coaching. I did get accepted to a couple of good schools on my list!!

I would recommend Griffon to anyone who is looking for test prep - great location, good fees, and awesome instructors!

I cannot recommend Griffon Prep highly enough. The services and support they offer are unparalleled, and they were an invaluable resource as I was preparing to take the LSAT and the GRE. Bernie routinely went above and beyond to support me. I came in for an initial consultation and expected to stay for 20 or 30 minutes to get a sense of what Griffon Prep could offer. Instead, Bernie and I talked for well over an hour and past Griffon Prep’s closing time to walk me through practice problems and explain alternate approaches to questions. Bernie helped me isolate exactly what I needed to work on, gave me actionable recommendations to improve, explained solutions in a way that made sense to me, and was always available to answer my specific questions. The resources from Griffon Prep helped me understand topics I had been struggling with and using their test techniques and study methods I more consistently achieved my target scores. When I was concerned about the GRE’s verbal reasoning section, Bernie sent me the resource packet from one of their courses and answered all of my questions over email. Griffon Prep helped me see exactly how I could improve and gave me the tools that enabled my success. You won’t find a better, more supportive, or more honest test prep company.

Bernie & Jeff are not only incredible GRE instructors but also highly-personable, caring people. I improved my entire GRE score 16 points (Quant score 7 points and Verbal score 9 points) working with them. They are the only in-person GRE class in the DC area and were super involved in helping me get my target score. I was able to contact them over email / phone to ask questions even outside of class. They also hold weekly office hour sessions outside of class to help their students out on homework problems. I am very grateful to them and highly recommend anyone taking the GRE to enroll in their class.

I was trying to register my daughter for the LSAT class and required a lot of assistance (since I had to make multiple payments). Griffon provided exceptional customer service each time I called. Trust I made so many calls they knew my number🥰. Each person I spoke to was more than willing to accommodate my request. Thank you. Really appreciate the patience and assistance provided to me.

I had such a great experience with Griffon and would highly recommend it to anyone. I took the GRE prep class and my score average increased by 10 points. The help you receive is very personalized and all of the teachers are so helpful. Jeff and Bernie definitely go above and beyond for their students and I found their teaching methods to be extremely useful. Beyond just teaching concepts they really simplify the material to save you time and show you how best to approach the exam.

Taking a standardized test prep course is a major investment in both time and money. Choosing the right place is essential. Personally, I value individualized learning, which made me choose Griffon Prep.

The program doesn’t only explain the material in depth, Jeff and Bernie answer each question fully and help develop transferable test-taking skills. They evaluate individual levels and work with students to reach their targets. In class, the teachers use everyday examples and lighthearted humor to simplify the material, identify common themes, and teach tricks that can be used across the entire test.

During my preparation, after finishing the course, I took advantage of the one-on-one help Griffon Prep provides. I attended the extra-help sessions, and called many times when I felt stuck. Jeff and Bernie taught me how to solve the questions independently and in stages, rather than solving them for me, which reduced my anxiety on the actual test day.

Overall, for those who are willing to put in the effort, go the extra mile, and seek a good experience, Griffon Prep is a great place!

I took Griffon Prep's LSAT class and would have a difficult time recommending a better a test prep company. Jeff and Bernie, the owners as well as two of the company's teachers, use only real LSAT questions in all of their material, and have written articulate and easily understood explanations for all of the questions covered in the review material they provide. The course is structured by breaking down the exam into question types, with each class providing an explanation of how to best tackle each respective question type. This is a format that I found to be both accessible and effective.

As if the material weren't enough, Griffon Prep maintains small class sizes and provides free extra help sessions on Fridays (along with email/phone support!) so that if you have issues with the material in class or a question you run into in a practice test, you always get the help you need.

As far as the teachers go, Jeff and Bernie are unbelievable. It's not an exaggeration to say that these guys have memorized nearly every LSAT question that's been released.

Now here's the disclaimer: there's no question that if you don't keep up with the homework you get in class that you won't improve. However, put in the work and take advantage of the resources that the class provides and there's no question that your score will go up.

These guys are the best. No doubt about it.
