Suzanne
Business Tutor • +18 Subjects
I recently graduated summa cum laud from Taylor University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Philosophy. While there I tutored philosophy, political science, and religious studies students for two years. I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Philosophy at Georgia State University, where I serve as a teaching assistant and writing consultant. I currently tutor in the areas of test preparation, government, philosophy, and religious studies. My passion for education stems from the joy I find in helping students achieve their goals. My teaching style involves asking lots of strategic questions to help students discover answers for themselves, a process which my students typically find quite empowering. Still, I recognize that each student has unique needs, questions, and learning styles, so I strive to listen first and then craft individualized plans to meet each student's particular objectives. In my spare time I like to get outside hiking, playing soccer, or volunteering at my church's community garden. I also enjoy reading, watching football, and cooking.

I have been a teacher all my life whether in the classroom or just in life. I love learning, and I am constantly seeking out new areas of interest, whether it's online courses or working on a new degree or taking up a new hobby. Interacting with students of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities always leads to that rewarding experience of helping someone learn something new. I'm always up for the challenges of teaching -- as a wise man once said, "There are as many kinds of intelligence as there are individuals"! Understanding each individual's unique learning process is the key that helps any student learn any subject.

Learning is an ongoing process, and tutoring is the catalyst. In my opinion, tutoring andmentoring are two sides of the same coin. I have been in academia and in business for30+ years, working in Australia, New Zealand, Central Asia, Jamaica, China, Pakistanand in other parts of the world. My Undergraduate degree is in Economics, Graduatedegree is in Hospitality Management, and my PhD is in Curricular and InstructionalStudies.At present, I am teaching at the University of Akron's College of Business (AdvanceAccreditation Council Business Schools Programs), and School of Communication.These experiences have given me firsthand exposure to the emerging challenges andmolded my global approach in working with my students. I have learned that one of thebest methods to assess learning outcome (LO) is to first understand and identify theneeds of my students and focus on their strengths to motivate them. Students andtrainees (at all levels) have one common goal i.e., success in what they set out to do.Two basic questions that guide my teaching pedagogy are, how relevant is theknowledge of today for the graduates of tomorrow? And what do I need to do to workwith my students/mentees to create a trusting relationship?I look forward to working with my students to strengthen their confidence in publicspeaking, understanding marketing concepts and human resources practices, andinternational business. The process is often long and requires patience - there are nomagic bullets.

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.
