Christopher

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +10 Subjects

I love teaching because of the give and take with students and the way their different styles of learning make me see new perspectives. I mainly teach foreign languages, English, and verbal sections of standardized tests because I am most interested in language and its logic. I have a long background in the arts and literature. I completed a BFA in Painting at the University of Iowa, a JD at the University of Tulsa and an MA in Classics at the University of Kansas. After law school, I practiced law in New York City for ten years before deciding to go back to school for Classics. I am currently developing a publication on the relative clause in Ancient Greek and I hope to begin a PhD program in the fall. I completed my MA with a 4.0 GPA and received a perfect score on the verbal GRE. I also scored 168 on the LSAT and graduated in the top ten percent of my law school class. My teaching experience includes two years' teaching Latin and Myth at the college level and two years' private tutoring of subjects ranging from the LSAT and GRE to languages such as Latin and Greek. My true love is language, and I would gladly spend all my time doing nothing but analyzing grammar if I could!

I am a big fan of travel, multiculturalism, yoga, reading and the Spanish language!

David

Conversational German Tutor • +5 Subjects

Willkommen! My approach to language tutoring utilizes an individual's intuitive and natural language learning process, engaging students by using what they care about. I first developed this technique while completing my bachelors degree at Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone. On campus I became an informal German tutor, discovering a passion for language tutoring, and developing this natural, intuitive and effective method of language learning. During this period I gained fluency in another language myself using this approach. I began formal tutoring in two of the three languages I am fluent in as well as mathematics and economics during my undergraduate studies. I am now looking forward to gaining admission into a graduate program for Supply Chain Management, Procurement and Contract negotiations. Outside of academia I am a very sociable person, happy to make new friends. My hobbies are soccer, pool/billiards, chess, movies, music, acting, dancing and singing. As a native speaker I will help my students to utilize the aforementioned techniques to learn German effectively and efficiently. I tutor all levels of German, and will work with students to meet their specific language needs. Please feel free to contact me, so that we can move your language abilities forward. Machs Gut!

Adiba

Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

I recently graduated from NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering with a bachelors of science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering. During my time as an undergraduate student I volunteered for Women for Afghan Women, an organization designed to foster a nurturing environment to underprivileged women and children. I had the privilege of tutoring and mentoring these bright children who often come from troubled families. My work entailed not only helping them with school work but also helping them cope with the situation they're in. I also had the opportunity to tutor for the Polytechnic Tutoring Center, which provides walk-in group tutoring for students attending the University. I tutored General Chemistry for Engineers, General Chemistry 1 &2, and Physical Chemistry. I learned to tailor my efforts towards each individual student and see which method best suited them. I firmly believe that each student has the ability to excel in whatever they wish as long as they believe in themselves, a value I hope to instill in all my students. I am patient, passionate, and excited about meeting new people and learning how they hope to make a difference in this world. In my spare time I love to watch and play sports, in particular Football. Lets go Giants!

Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects

I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Case Western Reserve University and a minor in Studio Art. I love math and art, and I find them similar in many ways. I am a patient person, having experience with children in hospital waiting rooms and helping my younger siblings with school. My favorite subjects to tutor are algebra, pre-calculus, and geometry, but I also tutor other subjects within math, art, and computer science. I believe that learning should be fun, and that since all knowledge is cumulative, hopefully the things I teach will become lifelong lessons.Besides tutoring, I enjoy swimming, rock climbing, and anything else that gets me outside or with wild animals. A fun fact from me is that both of my parents are teachers, and my sister is a tutor as well! I'm looking forward to working with you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bar Exam success requires mastering multiple subjects simultaneously while developing test-taking strategies—a challenge many students underestimate. Common struggles include managing the sheer volume of material across seven subjects (Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts), distinguishing between state-specific rules and uniform principles, and applying knowledge under time pressure. Additionally, many students struggle with essay writing under exam conditions and with identifying relevant issues quickly across fact patterns. Personalized tutoring addresses these specific pain points by helping you focus on your weakest areas rather than reviewing material you've already mastered.

Bar prep courses provide comprehensive subject review and practice, but they deliver the same curriculum to thousands of students simultaneously. Personalized tutoring allows a tutor to adapt instruction to your learning style, focus on the specific subjects or essay types where you're struggling most, and adjust pacing based on your progress. For example, if you're strong in Contracts but weak in Evidence, a tutor can spend less time on foundational Contracts concepts and more time on Evidence strategies, rule application, and practice problems. This targeted approach helps you maximize your study time and identify gaps before test day.

Effective Bar Exam tutors combine deep subject matter expertise with test preparation strategy. Look for tutors who have passed the Bar themselves, understand the specific exam format you're taking (uniform bar exam, MBE, essays, or your state's unique requirements), and have experience identifying which rules and applications are tested most frequently. Strong tutors ask diagnostic questions early on to assess your knowledge gaps, teach issue-spotting and rule-application frameworks, and provide extensive feedback on your essay writing and multiple-choice reasoning. They should also be familiar with your state's specific rules if you're taking a state-specific exam component, and they should help you develop a realistic study schedule.

Most students begin tutoring 2-4 months before their Bar Exam date, though this varies based on your baseline knowledge and exam performance history. A typical tutoring schedule is 2-3 sessions per week, with each session focused on a specific subject or skill (essay writing, MBE strategy, specific rule mastery). Students who struggled with the Bar before often benefit from more frequent sessions early on, then taper frequency as they gain confidence. The total number of hours varies widely—some students need 20-30 hours of tutoring, while others benefit from 50+ hours. A tutor can help you develop a personalized timeline based on a diagnostic assessment of your knowledge and your target exam date.

Clear progress markers include improved performance on practice MBE questions (tracking your percentage correct by subject), stronger essay scores with better issue-spotting and rule application, faster issue identification on timed practice tests, and increased confidence explaining complex legal concepts. If you retook the Bar before, you should see significant improvement in your weakest subjects. Many students report completing Bar prep materials more efficiently with tutoring support, finishing with time for additional practice. Your ultimate measure of success is passing the Bar on your target date—tutors help you identify which preparation strategies work best for you and ensure you're spending time efficiently.

Yes—in fact, tutors are especially valuable after a failed attempt. Tutors can analyze your previous exam performance (if available), identify which subject areas or question types caused the most difficulty, and determine whether your struggle was knowledge-based, strategy-based, or anxiety-related. They help you avoid repeating the same study mistakes and focus intensively on the content or skills that didn't click the first time. Many students who failed find that personalized instruction targets their specific gaps more effectively than a second full bar prep course. A tutor can also help rebuild your confidence and develop coping strategies for test-day anxiety if that was a factor.

Varsity Tutors connects you with expert tutors who specialize in Bar Exam preparation. Start by describing your situation—your target exam date, which Bar you're taking, your current study status, and any specific subjects where you need help. This helps match you with a tutor whose experience aligns with your needs. Once matched, your tutor will likely begin with a diagnostic assessment to understand your strengths and gaps, then work with you to create a structured study plan. You can meet with your tutor as frequently as your schedule and budget allow, adjusting frequency as needed throughout your prep period.
