The Reward
One free tutoring hour.
For both of you. Always.
No matter which plan they join — Vanguard Basic, Plus, Elite, or standalone tutoring — both you and your friend receive the same reward.
You — the referrer
1 Free Hour of
1-on-1 Tutoring
With a Defenders-trained 99th percentile tutor, matched to your weak points. Awarded as soon as your friend completes their purchase. Void if they cancel within the 7-day refund window.
Your friend — the referred
1 Free Hour of
1-on-1 Tutoring
A welcome gift to get you in front of a Defenders tutor right away. Awarded as soon as your purchase is confirmed. Void if you cancel within the 7-day refund window. Note: receiving this hour makes you ineligible for the money-back guarantee.
Refer more than one person and earn a free tutoring hour for every successful purchase — there is no cap. Rewards are void if the referred student cancels within the 7-day refund window.
How It Works
Three steps. That's it.
1
Tell your friend about LSATDefenders
Share your experience, send them to go.lsatdefenders.com, or forward them the link to book a free consultation with Daniel. No special link needed — just have them mention your name when they enroll.
2
They enroll in any plan
Your friend books a call, decides on a Vanguard plan or tutoring package, and completes their first paid month or first paid session. Any plan qualifies — Basic, Plus, Elite, or standalone tutoring hours.
3
You both receive your free hour
As soon as your friend's purchase is confirmed, Daniel will reach out to both of you to schedule your free tutoring hours. No forms, no portals — we handle it directly. Hours are void if the purchase is cancelled within the 7-day refund window.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know.
Who can refer?
Any active Vanguard member (Basic, Plus, or Elite) or active tutoring client in good standing with LSATDefenders.
Does my friend need to use a special link?
No. They just need to mention your name when they enroll or book their free consultation. Daniel tracks referrals manually and will confirm with both of you when the reward is triggered.
When exactly do we get our free hours?
As soon as your friend's purchase is confirmed — not after a month. You will both be contacted by Daniel to schedule your free tutoring hours within a few days of the purchase. Hours are void if the purchase is cancelled within the 7-day refund window.
Can I refer more than one person?
Yes — every successful referral earns you another free tutoring hour. There is no cap. The more people you bring into the Vanguard, the more free hours you accumulate.
Do my referral hours expire?
Referral hours follow the same terms as standalone tutoring hours — they do not expire and are yours to use whenever you are ready.
What if my friend cancels or gets a refund?
Referral hours are void if your friend cancels within the 7-day refund window. If they cancel after 7 days, the referral hour is still honored for both parties since the purchase was confirmed. If your friend already used their free tutoring hour and then requests a refund, the session cost ($97) will be deducted from any refund amount.
Does receiving a free tutoring hour affect my guarantee eligibility?
Yes. Referred students who receive and use a free tutoring hour upon enrollment are not eligible for the money-back guarantee. You can still take advantage of the standard 7-day full refund if needed — but the guarantee and the referral reward cannot both be claimed.
Can I refer someone who is already a member?
No — the referral program applies to new students who have not previously enrolled in any LSATDefenders program.
