Andrew
Certified Bar Exam Tutor
Andrew
PhD Boston University • BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
1+ Years Tutoring

Bar prep is as much a project management challenge as an intellectual one — hundreds of rules across dozens of subjects, all tested in different formats. Andrew's law PhD and his cross-disciplinary study background mean he can map out a structured MBE and essay prep plan while drilling the black-letter law in areas like torts, evidence, and civil procedure.

Kerry practiced law for three years at a major D.C. firm after graduating magna cum laude from Michigan Law, so she's been through the bar exam process herself and understands the MBE, MEE, and MPT from both sides. She breaks down the difference between knowing the law and applying it under timed pressure — especially in areas like Constitutional Law, Evidence, and Contracts where the examiners love to test nuance.

Ella
BA University
10+ Years Tutoring

I like learning anything new and enjoy reading, but I'm not fond of school. I made good grades only when the subject interested me. However, I have always done very, very well on standardized tests, probably because I read so much. I was a National Merit finalist and my LSAT score was in the 99th percentile. In today's system, that is about a 174. I attended law school at the University of Houston, graduated, passed the Texas bar with a decent score of 83, and practiced law for a long time. I quit practicing law when I moved to a small town in Central Texas. I began tutoring about a few years ago and discovered that I truly enjoy the intellectual challenge of tutoring and the opportunity to interact with a lot of bright, hard-working students. I had never tutored or taught before, so I read lots of study guides and picked out suggestions and tactics that made sense to me. I look for multiple ways to illustrate concepts because everyone understands information differently. My work with students is based on my experience, what I have studied, and feedback from my students. I think that tackling a problem directly is usually faster than looking for a trick or shortcut. I also help students with their applications and enjoy tutoring in writing and similar topics.

MS University of Minnesota • BA Carleton College

Teaching in various capacities since 2003, I combine legal expertise (class rank: top 20) and proven test strategies (UBE: 320, MPRE: 108) with compassion and creativity to elevate your legal acumen from good to great. With a law degree summa cum laude (Mitchell Hamline), a master's in public health (University of Minnesota), and an undergraduate degree magna cum laude from a top 10 liberal arts college (Carleton College), I have worked with K-12, college, graduate, and law students in 1:1, group, and classroom settings. My legal communication skills are second to none: I earned top oralist marks at the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition (the world's largest), provided strategic communications coaching to litigators in big tobacco cases, served as law journal writer and editor, and placed top-of-class in legal research & writing courses. Professionally, I've spent two decades in public affairs, government funding (grants, contracts), and sponsored research.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tennessee's Bar Exam tests knowledge across multiple legal subjects including constitutional law, contracts, criminal law, evidence, torts, real property, civil procedure, and professional responsibility. The exam also includes the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and Multistate Essay Exam (MEE), which assess practical legal skills and written analysis. Success requires mastery of both substantive law and the ability to apply it under timed conditions.

Tennessee's Bar Exam pass rate typically hovers around 70-75% for first-time test takers, though this varies by law school and preparation quality. Students who struggle with specific subject areas or test-taking strategies often benefit from targeted preparation that addresses their individual weak points. Personalized tutoring can help identify gaps early and build confidence in high-difficulty topics before exam day.

Most students struggle with time management during the exam, mastering the depth and breadth of material across multiple subjects, and translating law school knowledge into practical application. Many also find it difficult to balance studying while working or managing other commitments. Personalized instruction helps you focus study time on your weakest areas rather than reviewing material you already know, making preparation more efficient and less overwhelming.

Bar prep courses provide comprehensive, standardized content for all students, while personalized tutoring focuses specifically on your individual knowledge gaps and learning style. A tutor can spend extra time on subjects where you're struggling, adapt explanations to match how you learn best, and create practice strategies tailored to your needs. This targeted approach often leads to faster improvement and better retention than generic prep materials.

Ideally, you should begin tutoring 3-4 months before your exam date, though starting earlier gives you more time to address fundamental gaps. If you're already enrolled in a bar prep course, tutoring works well alongside it to provide personalized reinforcement of difficult concepts. Even students who start tutoring closer to exam day can benefit from focused help on their most challenging subjects.

Yes—Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in particular Bar Exam subjects like evidence, contracts, constitutional law, or professional responsibility. You can work with one tutor who covers multiple subjects or connect with different specialists depending on your needs. This flexibility allows you to get expert-level instruction exactly where you need it most.

Practice testing is critical—it builds familiarity with question types, helps you develop time management skills, and reveals exactly which topics need more study. Regular practice under timed conditions also reduces test anxiety and builds confidence. A tutor can review your practice test performance with you, explain where you went wrong, and help you develop strategies to avoid similar mistakes on exam day.

Your first session will focus on understanding your background, identifying your strongest and weakest subjects, and learning about your study habits and learning preferences. The tutor will likely discuss your bar prep timeline, any previous exam attempts, and specific areas where you want to focus. From there, you'll develop a personalized study plan that targets your needs and fits your schedule before exam day.
