Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Pennsylvania Bar Exam tests knowledge across multiple subject areas, but many test-takers struggle most with the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) sections, which require applying legal knowledge to fact patterns under time pressure. Criminal procedure, evidence, and professional responsibility also present difficulty because they require both detailed knowledge and quick recall during the exam. Personalized tutoring can address your specific weak areas with targeted practice and strategy, rather than covering material generically.
Bar review courses provide comprehensive overview content delivered to large groups, while personalized tutoring offers one-on-one instruction tailored to your unique learning needs, pace, and gaps in understanding. A tutor can focus intensively on the subjects where you struggle most, provide customized practice essays and multiple-choice questions, and give immediate feedback on your performance. This personalized approach helps you identify and close knowledge gaps before they affect your exam performance.
An effective Pennsylvania Bar Exam tutor should have significant bar exam experience—ideally having passed the Pennsylvania Bar or similar jurisdictions—combined with deep knowledge of Pennsylvania-specific civil procedure, practice rules, and substantive law. They should also excel at explaining complex concepts clearly, developing customized study plans, and providing detailed written feedback on practice essays. When you connect with tutors through Varsity Tutors, you can discuss their experience level and teaching approach to ensure a good fit for your needs.
The extent of improvement depends on your starting point, commitment level, and how long you study with a tutor. Many students see significant gains in essay writing quality within 4-6 weeks of focused tutoring—including better organization, more complete legal analysis, and stronger issue spotting. Others may need longer to rebuild foundational knowledge in specific subjects. A tutor can help you set realistic goals based on your current performance, practice test scores, and timeline before the exam.
Ideally, you should start tutoring during or shortly after your bar review course, when foundational concepts are still fresh but you're ready for deeper practice and feedback. Some students benefit from tutoring 8-12 weeks before the exam, while others prefer intensive support in the final 4-6 weeks. If you're retaking the exam, starting tutoring sooner helps you identify what went wrong previously and build a stronger study strategy. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on your exam date and current preparation level.
Pennsylvania has unique requirements in several areas, including Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure (which differ from federal rules), Pennsylvania's specific professional responsibility rules, and Pennsylvania-specific evidence considerations. Additionally, you'll need to master Pennsylvania substantive law in key areas like contracts, torts, and criminal law as they apply in the state. A tutor can help you identify which Pennsylvania-specific rules and doctrines are most heavily tested and ensure you're not relying on general multistate knowledge when Pennsylvania law diverges.
Strong MEE performance requires consistent practice with timed essays, detailed feedback on your analysis and writing, and refinement of your issue-spotting and organizational skills. Many students benefit from working through essays under realistic exam conditions, then reviewing them with a tutor who can identify where your legal analysis was incomplete, where you missed issues, or where your writing was unclear. Regular practice with targeted feedback—rather than just writing more essays—typically leads to measurable improvement in both substance and score.
