Jeffrey
Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.
Rhea
AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects
I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

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.

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

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

Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions
The New York Bar Exam covers multiple subjects, but students typically struggle most with Evidence, Criminal Procedure, and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) components. Evidence requires understanding intricate rules and their exceptions, which trip up many test-takers. Criminal Procedure involves complex constitutional principles that vary between state and federal contexts. The MPT demands strong legal writing and time management skills since test-takers must produce polished legal documents under pressure. Personalized tutoring can target these specific weak points, giving you focused practice and feedback rather than generic review.
Large prep courses move at a fixed pace and use generic materials that don't account for your specific gaps. Study groups can be inefficient since everyone's needs differ. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction from experienced tutors lets you focus exclusively on your weaknesses—whether that's mastering the New York-specific rules of professional conduct, strengthening your essay writing, or developing faster recognition patterns for Multistate questions. A tutor can also adapt their teaching style to how you learn best and create a study schedule that fits your timeline, which is crucial when preparing for a high-stakes exam.
An excellent bar exam tutor should have recent bar exam experience, ideally having recently passed or taught others who passed in New York. They should understand the specific format and scoring of the New York exam, including the MBE, essays, and MPT components. Look for someone who can diagnose your exact problem areas quickly and create targeted improvement plans—whether that's helping you memorize rules more efficiently, improve issue-spotting in essays, or manage time better. The best tutors combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and hold you accountable to your study goals.
Most test-takers benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though this varies based on your background and how much material you need to review. If you attended law school in New York, you may need less time since you've already covered the tested subjects. However, if you're a foreign-trained attorney or it's been years since you studied certain areas, you might need longer. The key is consistent, targeted studying rather than cramming. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule based on your starting point and identify which topics need more time investment to maximize your score improvement.
Yes—essay writing is one of the areas where personalized tutoring shows the most improvement. Bar exam essays require specific skills: quickly identifying legal issues, organizing your analysis clearly, and writing concisely under time pressure. A tutor can work with you on actual past New York exam essays, providing detailed feedback on your issue-spotting, rule application, and conclusion. They can teach you frameworks for organizing complex multi-issue problems and help you practice writing under timed conditions to build speed and confidence. With consistent practice and feedback tailored to your writing style, most test-takers see measurable score increases on the essay portion.
New York includes unique features like its specific New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) questions and its own professional responsibility rules based on the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. The state also requires you to pass both the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) and New York-specific essay and performance test components. Many bar prep courses use materials that blend rules from multiple states, which can create confusion. A tutor focused on the New York exam can clarify which rules apply only to New York, highlight where New York differs from the Restatement or Model Rules, and ensure your preparation is aligned with what you'll actually be tested on.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and how much focused work you put in. Most test-takers who work with a tutor 1-2 hours per week report feeling significantly more confident about weak subjects and catching more issues on practice essays. If you're currently scoring in the borderline range, targeted tutoring often leads to a 5-10+ point improvement on the MBE as you learn to avoid careless mistakes and spot subtle issue patterns. On the essay and MPT sections, improvement is often more dramatic since these benefit heavily from personalized feedback on your specific writing and organizational patterns. The key is consistency and applying feedback to practice tests between sessions.
