Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Minnesota Bar Exam covers both state-specific law and general legal principles tested on the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). Many test-takers struggle most with the essay portion, which requires synthesizing multiple legal concepts under time pressure, and Minnesota-specific subjects like family law and real property rules that differ from other states. The multiple-choice section (MBE) also challenges candidates who haven't developed efficient strategy for analyzing fact patterns quickly and accurately across subjects like constitutional law, contracts, torts, and criminal procedure.
Personalized tutoring allows a tutor to focus on your specific weak areas—whether that's essay writing technique, particular subject gaps, or test-taking strategy—rather than covering material at a pace designed for a large group. A tutor can assess your practice test results and tailor instruction to address your exact challenges, provide immediate feedback on essays, and adjust the study plan based on your progress. This targeted approach typically helps candidates improve more efficiently and identify blind spots that group courses might miss.
An effective Minnesota Bar Exam tutor should have recent bar exam experience, ideally having passed the Minnesota exam or UBE themselves, and understand both the general UBE structure and Minnesota-specific law requirements. They should be able to explain complex legal concepts clearly, provide constructive feedback on practice essays, help you develop personalized study strategies, and keep you accountable and motivated through a demanding preparation process. Experience working with students at different proficiency levels—those needing foundational review versus those fine-tuning their approach—is also valuable.
Most candidates spend 3-4 months preparing for the bar exam with consistent study. The timeline depends on your law school performance, how much material you need to review, and how frequently you can work with a tutor. Some candidates benefit from starting tutoring earlier in this window to build foundational knowledge, while others use tutoring strategically in the final 4-6 weeks to polish essays and test-taking strategy. Your tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on practice test scores and your specific areas of need.
Yes—essay performance is where personalized tutoring often has the most impact. A tutor can teach you a consistent framework for analyzing fact patterns, help you practice under timed conditions with immediate feedback, and show you how to spot issues effectively and communicate your legal analysis clearly. Many candidates improve significantly with practice and coaching on essay technique, including how to organize your response, what examiners are looking for, and how to avoid common mistakes like failing to address all parties or missing applicable Minnesota statutes.
Minnesota uses a scaled score system, and the passing score varies slightly year to year but is typically around 270 on a 1600-point scale. Since the exam is designed to measure minimum competency for legal practice, most bar prep resources and tutors focus on helping you reach and exceed that threshold consistently across all tested subjects. Your tutor can use your practice test scores to estimate whether you're on track and adjust your study plan to address any remaining gaps before exam day.
Minnesota-specific topics appear primarily in the essay section and cover areas like family law, probate, real property, and procedure that differ from the UBE tested material. Your tutor can focus on these state-specific rules and how they differ from the general law tested elsewhere, use Minnesota-based practice essays, and help you understand how Minnesota courts interpret key statutes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand both the UBE structure and Minnesota law requirements, ensuring comprehensive preparation for the full exam.
