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 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!
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.
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.
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
Bar Exam preparation covers the core subjects tested by the Pennsylvania Bar Exam, including contracts, criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, constitutional law, torts, and professional responsibility. Personalized tutoring helps you develop deep understanding of legal principles, practice applying them to complex fact patterns, and build the analytical skills needed to excel on both the multiple-choice and essay portions of the exam.
Many students struggle with time management while balancing bar prep with work and personal commitments, difficulty synthesizing large volumes of legal material, and anxiety about the high stakes of the exam. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows you to focus on your specific weak areas, develop a study strategy tailored to your learning style, and build confidence through targeted practice and feedback.
While group courses follow a standardized curriculum, personalized tutoring adapts to your individual needs—whether you need deeper dives into specific subjects, help with essay writing, or MBE strategy. A tutor can identify your knowledge gaps quickly, explain complex concepts in ways that click for you, and provide immediate feedback on practice questions and essays, helping you study more efficiently and effectively.
Your first session typically involves a conversation about your background, your target score, your study timeline, and areas where you feel strongest and weakest. The tutor will likely assess your understanding of key concepts, discuss your learning style and goals, and create a personalized study plan that focuses your preparation on the areas where you'll see the most improvement.
Most bar takers spend 2-3 months in focused preparation, though your timeline may vary based on your background, how much you studied in law school, and your target score. Personalized tutoring can help you use that time more effectively by targeting your specific gaps rather than reviewing material you already know well, potentially accelerating your readiness.
Yes. Tutors can help you develop strategies for analyzing essay questions, organizing your responses, and spotting issues under time pressure. They can also work with you on MBE strategy—teaching you how to eliminate wrong answers, manage your pacing, and avoid common traps—while reinforcing the substantive law across all tested subjects.
Look for tutors who have passed the Pennsylvania Bar Exam and have experience teaching bar prep content. Many expert tutors have worked in law practice, taught legal subjects, or have extensive bar prep experience. When you connect with Varsity Tutors, we match you with tutors whose background and teaching approach align with your needs and goals.
Results vary based on your starting point and how actively you engage with tutoring, but students typically report increased confidence, faster problem-solving, better essay organization, and higher practice test scores. Personalized instruction helps you move from passive review to active mastery of the material, which translates directly to better performance on exam day.
