Award-Winning Bar Exam Tutors
serving Brooklyn, NY

I've always loved learning, which naturally led me to tutoring. I began tutoring peers and younger students in high school and continued throughout college, law school, and after graduation while working as a NY corporate attorney. My experience includes students of all ages, from kindergartners through adult learners, including those needing specialized academic support or education planning. With a background in math and science and a legal career centered on research, writing, analysis, and counseling, I focus on math, law, academic coaching, and exam preparation. In particular, I enjoy supporting elementary and middle school students, helping high school students with academic planning and college preparation, and preparing students for the SAT, ACT, GRE, LSAT, and UBE (NY Bar Exam). I've worked remotely throughout my career, so I'm comfortable using virtual learning platforms and adapting to each student's individual needs.

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.

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.

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!

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.
