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.
As a licensed and practicing attorney in Georgia, Ryan has firsthand experience with the bar exam process — from the MBE's pattern-recognition demands to the essay sections where precise, structured legal writing separates passing scores from failing ones. His history degree and extensive background in persuasive writing and essay technique translate directly into coaching examinees on IRAC construction and issue-spotting under timed conditions. Rated 5.0 by students.
As a passionate educator, I am dedicated to helping students excel in their Bar Exam preparation or in their classes! I earned a Management BBA from the University of Notre Dame, and my J.D. from Georgia State University. I have over two years of tutoring experience. I tutor in 1L subjects, bar prep, and technical writing. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the needs of each student, including proceeding at the rhythm and tempo the student needs. My approach includes focusing on the Black Letter Law, strategizing, learning how to gather and understand performance data, and preparing for what to expect on Exam Days!
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.
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.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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.
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.
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bar Exam preparation focuses on mastering the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), Arizona-specific essay questions, and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT). Personalized tutoring helps you develop a strategic study plan, identify weak subject areas, and practice high-yield exam techniques tailored to Arizona's bar requirements.
Your first session focuses on understanding your background, assessing your current knowledge across bar exam subjects, and identifying your specific challenge areas—whether that's mastering complex subjects like Evidence or Constitutional Law, improving essay writing speed, or building confidence with MBE practice questions. This diagnostic helps create a personalized study roadmap aligned with your timeline and learning style.
Most test-takers struggle with time management across 200+ MBE questions, synthesizing multiple subjects under pressure, and developing concise essay answers that hit key legal principles. Personalized instruction helps you practice under timed conditions, master high-yield topics specific to Arizona, and build test-taking strategies that improve both accuracy and confidence.
While bar prep courses provide broad curriculum coverage, personalized tutoring adapts to your specific needs—focusing extra time on subjects where you're struggling, drilling your weak question types, and refining your essay approach. One-on-one instruction allows you to ask questions in real-time, get immediate feedback on practice answers, and adjust your study strategy based on actual performance data.
Most bar candidates study for 8-12 weeks leading up to the exam, though the ideal timeline depends on your background and how much time you can dedicate weekly. Personalized tutoring accelerates learning by targeting your specific gaps rather than reviewing material you already know, helping you use study time more efficiently.
The MBE covers Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Evidence, Real Property, Torts, and Civil Procedure. Arizona's essay portion adds state-specific topics and requires deep knowledge of these core areas. A tutor can help you allocate study time strategically—focusing more heavily on subjects worth more points and areas where you need the most reinforcement.
Effective MBE preparation involves understanding the rules deeply, practicing with real exam questions, analyzing why you miss questions, and developing faster pattern recognition. Personalized tutoring helps you identify whether you're missing questions due to rule gaps, misreading fact patterns, or time pressure—then targets practice to address your specific weakness.
