Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

MS Simmons College • BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Justin
BA University of Chicago • Current Grad Student, Philosophy University of New Mexico-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kansas bar exam candidates most frequently struggle with Evidence, Civil Procedure, and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) components. Evidence requires mastery of complex rule applications and exceptions that many test-takers find counterintuitive, while Civil Procedure demands precise knowledge of Kansas-specific procedural rules alongside federal standards. The MPT—which tests practical lawyering skills through document-heavy scenarios—challenges candidates who haven't practiced synthesizing large amounts of information under time pressure. Additionally, many candidates underestimate the Kansas-specific essay questions, which test knowledge of state law that differs from the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) content, particularly in areas like family law and real property.

The Kansas bar exam is roughly 50% MBE (200 questions covering multistate law) and 50% essays and performance tests focused on Kansas law and practical skills. Most candidates benefit from front-loading MBE preparation to build foundational multistate knowledge, then shifting focus to Kansas-specific essays in the final 4-6 weeks. This approach works because strong MBE performance demonstrates command of core legal principles, while Kansas essays require deeper state-specific preparation. A tutor can help you identify which multistate topics overlap with Kansas law and which require entirely different study strategies, ensuring you don't waste time on redundant preparation.

The Kansas bar exam compresses significant content into a single day, requiring candidates to write three 30-minute essays and complete one 90-minute MPT while also performing well on the MBE. Many test-takers underestimate how quickly time disappears when writing under pressure, leading to incomplete essays or rushed analysis that loses points for missing elements. The MPT particularly trips up candidates who haven't practiced managing document review, issue spotting, and writing within strict time constraints. Personalized tutoring helps you develop realistic practice routines that simulate exam conditions, identify your personal speed bottlenecks, and build strategies for prioritizing which issues to address when time runs short.

An excellent Kansas bar exam tutor must be licensed to practice law in Kansas and have recent, successful bar exam experience—ideally having passed within the last 5-10 years so their knowledge of current exam format and question types is current. Beyond bar passage, look for tutors with demonstrated expertise in the specific areas you struggle with, whether that's Evidence, the MPT, or Kansas-specific substantive law. The best tutors have experience teaching multiple bar candidates, understand common failure patterns, and can explain complex legal concepts in accessible ways rather than simply reviewing black letter law. They should also be familiar with the specific format and timing of the Kansas bar exam, including the unique structure of Kansas essay questions and how they differ from other states' exams.

The MPT is fundamentally different from essay writing because it tests your ability to perform a specific lawyering task (drafting a memo, contract, brief, etc.) within 90 minutes using unfamiliar source materials. Many candidates fail the MPT not from lack of legal knowledge but from poor document organization, missing the assignment's actual task, or running out of time. A tutor can teach you the systematic approach to MPT success: quickly identifying the task, organizing source materials, spotting relevant issues, and structuring your response efficiently. They can also provide targeted feedback on your drafts, helping you understand where you're losing points—whether it's incomplete analysis, poor organization, or misunderstanding what the hypothetical client actually needs.

Kansas essays often test deeper state-specific law and expect candidates to apply Kansas statutory provisions and case law rather than relying solely on multistate principles. Kansas essay questions frequently require you to address multiple parties and complex fact patterns where the relevant law isn't immediately obvious, testing your ability to research and synthesize state law under pressure. Additionally, Kansas values clear issue spotting and thorough analysis of each party's position, with less tolerance for conclusory statements than some other state exams. A tutor familiar with Kansas bar essays can help you understand the state's specific grading rubrics, show you examples of high-scoring responses, and coach you on how to structure answers that demonstrate the depth of Kansas law knowledge graders expect.

Kansas's bar exam pass rate typically hovers around 75-80% for first-time test-takers, which is slightly below the national average. This suggests that while most prepared candidates pass, a meaningful percentage struggle—often due to gaps in Kansas-specific law, weak MPT performance, or poor time management rather than overall legal knowledge. Understanding this context helps you recognize that bar exam preparation isn't just about studying harder, but studying smarter with targeted focus on your weaknesses. Personalized tutoring helps you identify whether you're in the at-risk category early enough to adjust your strategy, ensuring you don't become part of the group that needs to retake the exam.

Most candidates benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused bar exam preparation, though this varies based on your law school performance and how recently you studied relevant subjects. Many candidates start with self-study using bar prep courses, then bring in a tutor around week 4-6 when they've identified specific weak areas or realize they're falling behind their study schedule. Others benefit from tutoring earlier if they struggled with certain subjects in law school or want personalized guidance on the Kansas-specific components from the start. The ideal timing depends on your baseline knowledge and learning style—a tutor can help you create a realistic study timeline, identify which topics need the most attention, and adjust your approach if you're not seeing improvement in practice test scores.
