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
Colorado Bar Exam takers typically struggle most with the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), which requires applying legal knowledge to real-world scenarios under time pressure, and the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE), which demands concise, well-organized analysis across multiple subjects. Many candidates also find the Colorado-specific essay questions challenging because they require deep knowledge of state law combined with broader legal principles. Personalized tutoring can target your specific weak areas—whether that's Civil Procedure, Evidence, or Colorado-specific topics like water law—rather than spending time on subjects you've already mastered.
Most Bar Exam candidates benefit from 300-400 hours of focused preparation over 8-12 weeks. This typically includes completing practice essays and MPT problems, reviewing model answers, and targeted study of weak areas. The timeline varies based on your law school performance, familiarity with the material, and how much time you can dedicate weekly. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you use your study time more efficiently by identifying gaps quickly and providing targeted feedback on practice work, rather than following a one-size-fits-all study schedule.
Bar prep courses provide comprehensive curriculum coverage and practice materials for all tested subjects, which is essential foundational preparation. However, tutoring offers personalized, one-on-one feedback on your specific problem areas—whether that's time management on the MPT, essay organization, or mastering particular subjects. Many successful candidates use both: a bar prep course for content review and broad practice, then work with a tutor for targeted help with their weakest areas and intensive essay feedback before the exam.
Bar Exam essays require you to spot issues, apply law, and explain your reasoning—all within tight time limits. Personalized instruction helps you develop a consistent essay-writing process, practice issue-spotting under time constraints, and receive detailed feedback on every practice essay you write. A tutor can help you identify where you're losing points (missing issues, incomplete analysis, unclear explanations) and give you strategies to improve. Working one-on-one also lets you practice essays in real time, receiving immediate guidance rather than waiting days for feedback.
Yes. Colorado has unique rules and common testing topics in areas like water law, marital property, and local civil procedure variations. The Colorado Bar Exam includes state-specific essay questions that test Colorado law alongside multistate principles, so you need to understand both. Tutors experienced with the Colorado exam can help you master these state-specific topics and show you how they interact with the Multistate subjects, ensuring you're prepared for both the general and Colorado-specific portions of the exam.
Bar Exam anxiety is common, especially under the time pressure of essay and MPT sections. Personalized tutoring helps build confidence through repeated, timed practice with real feedback—so you're not guessing whether you understand material, you know it. A tutor can also help you develop time management strategies specific to your pace, teach you how to approach difficult questions strategically, and work through practice exams under conditions that mimic the actual test. This preparation translates to reduced anxiety on test day because you've practiced realistic scenarios many times.
Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in Bar Exam preparation and know the Colorado exam thoroughly. When you reach out, you'll be matched with a tutor based on your specific needs—whether you need help with particular subjects, essay writing, time management, or overall strategy. Most Bar Exam tutors are practicing attorneys or experienced bar prep instructors, so they bring real-world insight and understand exactly what the graders are looking for. You can start with focused sessions in your weakest areas and adjust your plan as you progress through your preparation.
