Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who cover all tested subjects on the bar exam, including contracts, torts, criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, constitutional law, real property, and professional responsibility. Tutors also work with students on the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) components. Whether you need help mastering one area or want comprehensive review across all subjects, you can get matched with a tutor who specializes in the areas where you need the most support.

Bar review courses provide standardized lectures and materials for everyone, but personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts to your specific gaps and learning style. A tutor can spend concentrated time on the subjects where you're struggling, use practice problems you find most challenging, and adjust pacing based on your comprehension—rather than moving through a predetermined curriculum at a set pace. This personalized approach often helps students make faster progress, especially when used alongside or after a prep course for targeted reinforcement.

The ideal time depends on your circumstances. Many students benefit from starting tutoring once they've begun their bar prep course and can identify which subjects need reinforcement—typically 3-4 months before the exam. However, some students start earlier to build foundational understanding, while others use tutoring as targeted help during the final weeks. A tutor can help you develop a study plan that makes sense for your timeline and ensures you're using your preparation period efficiently.

Yes. Many students find the performance test and essay components challenging because they require applying law to fact patterns under time constraints—skills that benefit greatly from personalized feedback. Tutors can review your practice essays and performance tests, identify patterns in your analysis, help you develop organizational strategies for different question types, and provide targeted practice with real exam-style problems. This kind of individualized critique is difficult to get from prep courses and can make a significant difference in these high-stakes components.

Absolutely. In addition to content instruction, tutors can help you develop a realistic study schedule that accounts for all bar exam subjects and component areas, build in spaced repetition and practice testing, and establish check-ins to keep you accountable. This strategic planning helps many students avoid cramming, manage exam anxiety, and ensure comprehensive preparation. Having someone who can track your progress and adjust your plan as needed is particularly valuable during the high-pressure bar prep period.
