The nature of my major is such that I am taking classes in and have experience with STEM (medicine), the humanities (literature) and social sciences (society).

I also teach through Columbia via an organization called Peer Health Exchange, which allows me to work with a group of 9th graders and to teach a comprehensive sexual health and wellness curricula. I myself had tutors throughout high school and even in some college classes, so I understand intimately how helpful a good tutor can be! In my spare time I like to read, sew, cook with my roommates, and play soccer on the Columbia Lawns.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most Bar Exam candidates find the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) particularly challenging because they require synthesizing multiple legal concepts under time pressure. Additionally, students often struggle with the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) subjects that involve nuanced distinctions—like distinguishing between different contract formation rules, criminal law defenses, or civil procedure requirements. Evidence and Professional Responsibility are also common pain points because they involve memorizing detailed rules with fact-specific applications. Personalized tutoring helps by targeting your specific weak areas rather than generic review of all subjects.
The MEE requires a more formulaic structure than law school essays—examiners expect clear issue spotting, rule statements with precision, and concise application to the facts provided. Unlike law school, there's less room for nuanced policy arguments; instead, you need to demonstrate mastery of black-letter law under tight time constraints (30 minutes per essay). A Bar Exam tutor can help you develop a consistent essay template, practice rapid issue identification, and learn to allocate time effectively across multiple topics in a single exam. Many students benefit from drilling past MEE questions to internalize the expected depth and breadth of analysis.
The MBE rewards pattern recognition and understanding why incorrect answers are wrong, not just why correct answers are right. High performers typically practice hundreds of questions in subject clusters (all contracts questions together, all torts together) to identify recurring rule applications and common traps. Spaced repetition and retrieval practice—revisiting questions you've missed weeks later—significantly improves retention. A tutor experienced with the MBE can help you analyze your question performance by subject and question type, identify whether you're missing rules or misapplying them, and develop targeted study strategies rather than generic review.
The MPT is fundamentally different because it's a closed-universe test—all the law you need is provided in the materials, and you're evaluated on how well you use those materials to solve a practical problem (drafting a memo, contract, demand letter, etc.). Unlike law school writing, you won't be penalized for not knowing external law; instead, examiners assess your ability to read complex documents quickly, extract relevant information, and apply it to the task. The time pressure (90 minutes per MPT) means efficiency matters more than eloquence. Tutors who specialize in the MPT help you develop systems for organizing materials, spotting controlling vs. illustrative authority, and structuring responses that directly address the instructions.
The best Bar Exam tutors have recent bar passage experience (ideally within the last 5 years), deep familiarity with your specific bar exam format (UBE, state-specific, etc.), and a track record helping students improve scores. Look for tutors who understand the distinctions between MBE, MEE, and MPT strategy—these require different skill sets—and who can diagnose whether your struggles stem from rule gaps, application errors, or time management. Ideally, your tutor should have scored well on the bar themselves and understand the psychology of test preparation. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who meet these standards and can tailor instruction to your learning style and timeline.
Most bar candidates benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though the intensity varies based on your baseline knowledge and target score. Many law school graduates begin light review during their final semester of law school, then ramp up to 30-40 hours per week after graduation. The ideal timeline involves an initial survey phase (reviewing all subjects), a deep-dive phase (targeted practice on weak areas), and a final integration phase (full-length practice exams and timed drills). A tutor can help you create a personalized timeline based on your starting point, identify which subjects need more attention, and adjust your plan if you're not hitting target scores on practice exams.
Measurable progress typically shows up within 2-3 weeks of focused tutoring: improved accuracy on practice MBE questions (tracking percentage correct by subject), faster essay completion times with more complete rule statements, and better organization of MPT responses. Most students see a 5-10 point improvement in their MBE scaled score after addressing specific knowledge gaps, and essay scores improve when you internalize the expected format and depth. Full-length practice exam scores are the best predictor of actual bar passage—a tutor can help you analyze these results to identify whether you're ready or need additional focus in specific areas. Success ultimately means passing the bar on your first attempt, which personalized instruction significantly supports.
Yes—UBE jurisdictions (which use the Multistate Bar Examination, MEE, and MPT) have standardized content and scoring, making tutoring strategies more uniform. However, many states add state-specific essays or a state-specific multiple-choice component that requires knowledge of local rules, procedures, and case law. A tutor familiar with your specific jurisdiction can help you master state-specific requirements without diluting your preparation for uniform subjects. If you're taking a state-specific exam, ensure your tutor has experience with that jurisdiction's unique format and can allocate study time appropriately between uniform and state-specific content.
