“That's by far my favorite part of all this — all the ones you mark X go straight to your wrong-answer journal.”

“I really enjoyed talking with Kat every week and being part of the Slack. Overall, my favorite part of LSAT tutoring was having a personalized curriculum. I only had a month to study for my first LSAT and tutoring with Elemental made me feel prepared.”
Sarah C.171

“I've never been so comfortable around a teacher/tutor! I wasn't scared to sound dumb or make mistakes, which is important. You can't be uncomfortable because it impedes the learning.”

“I had been studying for 6 months and seemed to plateau. I knew that I had the potential in me to be significantly better than I was but I didn't know how to access that potential until Susie came along.”

“Most people will doubt you. Ellen and her staff never will. So neither should you.”

“So I started working through the loophole (per like everyone on lsat TikTok) and honestly it is really really helpful.”

“I read Ellen's Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning, and immediately I was hooked. Ellen's method spoke to me in a way that no other prep materials had (and I went through A LOT of them). However, I reached a plateau with self-study, so I did two weeks of her On Demand program.”

“I love the Loophole. I undoubtedly can't afford Ellen's tutoring but the book is invaluable.”

“Reading this book actually helped me figure out what I was doing. Now I'm very confident in my LR skills.”

“I never thought I could predict the answer to questions. The CLIR changed that.”

“I often felt like other test materials were implicitly brushing me off when I didn't understand answers or why I'd missed a question, and often had awkward or forced understandings of the LSAT, whereas your book felt like you'd engaged deeply with the test & students' challenges and stucknesses to offer strategies, frameworks, and common failure modes.”

“The Loophole's techniques accelerated my improvement in LR.”
Eun Ji172
Tutoring
“I studied for the LSAT for 8 months with a booklet by question types, color-coding every concept in 7 different colors. I had several eureka moments while I analyzed those and I thought I had mastered the LSAT. I even told my parents and friends that I wanted to teach the LSAT.”

“The community definitely makes it worth it. Obviously, Ellen is an incredible human being. But my mentors, mentees, and study buddies are all phenomenal people that really made my LSAT journey.”

“I'm super excited about this course, because it's more memorization and practice rather than just doing PTs over and over again.”

“*10-year LSAT journey.* For the first time in my 10-year on and off journey with the LSAT, I finally feel truly hopeful that I can crush this test! That wouldn't have been possible without Ellen and her incredible Elemental Team! The Loophole, Ellen's strategies, and the community have become irreplaceable.”

Your Guide

Meet Ellen Cassidy.

Ellen wrote the book — literally. The Loophole in LSAT Logical Reasoning is recommended across r/LSAT and has shipped tens of thousands of copies.


But Ellen isn't just an author. She still tutors students 4-10 hours a day — but there's only one of her. She built Loophole Online so every student could get her complete methodology, not just the few who can book her calendar. Same strategies, same frameworks, same results — now at scale.

Her mission: teach the world to read and think.
