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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Colorado Bar Exam tests knowledge of both Colorado-specific law and general legal principles covered on the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). The exam includes multiple-choice questions (MBE), essay questions (MEE), and a performance test (MPT) that assess your ability to apply legal knowledge to real-world scenarios. Success requires mastery of core subjects like contracts, torts, criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, and constitutional law, plus Colorado-specific rules and statutes.
Most bar exam candidates struggle with time management—balancing comprehensive subject review with practice testing and essay writing. Many also find it difficult to transition from law school learning to the applied, practical reasoning the bar exam demands. Additionally, Colorado-specific law and procedure can trip up candidates who studied elsewhere, and the sheer volume of material makes it easy to leave gaps that show up on test day. Personalized tutoring helps identify your weak areas early and builds a targeted study plan rather than trying to review everything equally.
Bar prep courses provide comprehensive curriculum and practice materials for large groups, but personalized tutoring adapts to your specific learning needs and gaps. A tutor works with you one-on-one to diagnose which subjects or question types trip you up, explains complex concepts at your pace, and gives targeted feedback on your essays and practice tests. This focused approach helps you use study time more efficiently and build confidence in weaker areas before test day.
Your first session typically includes a conversation about your background, study timeline, and specific concerns—whether you're struggling with certain subjects, essay writing, time management, or test anxiety. Your tutor may review a practice test or essay you've completed to assess your current level and identify patterns in your mistakes. From there, you'll work together to create a personalized study plan that prioritizes the areas where you'll gain the most points before your exam date.
Most candidates benefit from starting tutoring 8–12 weeks before their exam date, though the right timeline depends on your background and how much material you need to review. If you're retaking the exam or struggled with specific subjects in law school, you might start earlier. Even a few weeks of focused tutoring can significantly improve your performance on weak subjects or help you refine your essay-writing technique and time management strategy.
Yes—essay writing is one of the most valuable areas for personalized tutoring. A tutor can review your practice essays, identify gaps in your legal analysis, help you organize your thoughts more clearly, and teach you how to spot and address all issues within the time limit. They can also give you feedback on whether you're applying the law correctly and help you develop a consistent writing strategy that works for the MEE format.
Yes, Colorado has unique rules and statutes that appear on the bar exam, particularly in areas like civil procedure, evidence, and professional responsibility. If you attended law school outside Colorado or didn't focus on state-specific law, a tutor familiar with Colorado Bar Exam requirements can help you quickly learn these differences and avoid costly mistakes on test day. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand both the UBE and Colorado-specific content.
Students working with tutors often see faster progress in their weakest subjects, better performance on practice tests, and increased confidence going into the exam. Personalized feedback helps you stop making the same mistakes repeatedly and teaches you to spot issues more quickly. Many students also report reduced test anxiety when they've worked through difficult concepts one-on-one and have a clear understanding of what to expect on exam day.
