I am a licensed attorney with a large commercial insurance broker. I hold a Juris Doctor and Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology. Prior to attending law school, I worked in law enforcement for nearly ten years, during which time I held a wide range of positions including gang task force member, SWAT operations, and police academy instructor.

I am a graduate of Brooklyn Law School and the New England Conservatory of Music. While I enjoy being a lawyer, I have always had a passion for education and teaching. For five years, I taught in the Music Business program at Belmont University. I tutor in the following subjects: English, Writing, High School English, High School Writing, College English, Music, Music Theory. I also help law students prepare for the Bar Exam.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
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.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
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!
I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
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.
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!
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tennessee's bar exam pass rate typically hovers around 75-80% for first-time test takers, though this varies by law school and test administration. Many bar exam candidates struggle with the breadth of material, time management under pressure, and synthesizing complex legal concepts across multiple subjects. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps you identify your specific weak areas—whether that's essay writing, multiple-choice strategy, or particular subjects like evidence or contracts—and develop a targeted study plan rather than reviewing everything equally. This focused approach significantly improves both your confidence and performance.
Tennessee's bar exam consists of the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), which includes 200 multiple-choice questions (MBE), six 30-minute essay questions (MEE), and one Performance Test. The MBE covers seven subjects: Civil Procedure, Criminal Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, Contracts, Constitutional Law, and Torts. The essays test these same subjects plus Business Associations and Professional Responsibility. A strong study strategy addresses each section differently: MBE prep requires consistent practice testing and timing drills, essays demand outlining and writing under exam conditions, and the Performance Test needs familiarity with legal research and writing standards. Tutors can create a sequenced study plan that builds foundational knowledge first, then layers in timed practice and strategy refinement.
Most bar exam candidates struggle with three main challenges: (1) managing the sheer volume of material—you're expected to know 7-9 subjects at a depth that's easy to superficially understand but hard to apply correctly under pressure; (2) applying black-letter law to fact patterns, especially on essays where you must spot issues, analyze competing arguments, and reach conclusions clearly; and (3) timing and stamina, since the exam spans six hours and requires sustained focus. Many also struggle transitioning from law school exams (where you can sometimes get partial credit for recognizing an issue) to the bar exam's higher standard for complete, well-reasoned analysis. Personalized instruction addresses these by isolating your specific bottleneck—whether you need deeper substantive knowledge, better issue-spotting skills, or simply more realistic practice under timed conditions—rather than generic review.
An effective bar exam tutor combines deep subject-matter expertise across multiple legal areas with real experience helping candidates pass. They should understand not just the law, but the bar exam itself—which issues are commonly tested, where fact patterns tend to be tricky, and what graders look for in essays. Beyond content knowledge, great tutors are skilled at diagnostic assessment: they can pinpoint whether you're missing substantive concepts, struggling with exam strategy, or simply losing confidence, then adjust their approach accordingly. They also understand that bar prep is mentally and emotionally demanding, so they balance constructive feedback with encouragement. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who meet these standards and can tailor their instruction to your specific needs, timeline, and learning style.
Most bar candidates spend 8-10 weeks in structured prep after law school, though this varies based on your background and target performance. The intensive nature of bar exam study means that poorly directed effort often yields diminishing returns—reviewing subjects you already understand well won't boost your score, but targeted help on weak areas can. Research on learning consistently shows that 1-on-1 instruction is highly efficient because it eliminates wasted time and focuses directly on your gaps. Rather than spending 10 weeks of unfocused studying, personalized tutoring can help you use your prep time more strategically, reduce anxiety by clarifying difficult concepts, and measurably improve your performance on practice tests. Many candidates invest in tutoring for their weakest subjects or during the final weeks to refine essay and MBE strategy.
Essay preparation requires three distinct phases: (1) mastering the substantive law through careful outlines and rule statements, (2) learning to spot issues under pressure through repeated timed practice with real past essays, and (3) refining your writing to be clear, organized, and thorough within 30 minutes. Many bar takers underestimate how much essay performance depends on practice—you can understand the law perfectly but still struggle to organize your thoughts and write a complete analysis under timed conditions. A tutor can help you develop a personal outlining system that works for your brain, provide feedback on your actual essays to show exactly where your analysis is incomplete or unclear, and help you build the rhythm and confidence needed to perform on test day. They can also help you understand what bar graders prioritize—identifying all relevant issues and analyzing thoroughly matters far more than flowery writing.
Retake preparation is different from initial bar prep because you have concrete feedback: your score, which subjects you struggled with, and potentially information about whether you struggled more with the MBE, essays, or Performance Test. This diagnostic data is invaluable. Rather than reviewing everything again, a tutor can focus intensely on your actual weak areas—whether that's a particular subject, issue spotting, time management, or confidence. Retake candidates often benefit from fewer but higher-quality tutoring hours because the work is so targeted. Additionally, tutors can help you work through the emotional and mental aspects of a retake, since test anxiety or confidence issues sometimes play a larger role than knowledge gaps. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in retake preparation who understand the pressure you're facing and can help you pass the second time.
