Rachel
American Literature Tutor • +13 Subjects
Hi, my name is Rachel. I am kind of an academic geek, a literature geek for sure. I love the feeling of being in the classroom and taking part in the discourse that goes on. In fact, if someone were willing to pay me to go to school indefinitely, I would probably take them up on that.I also love working with children and young adults. I feel like I connect well with the different age groups and know how to adjust my approach and interactions to get the best results.I believe that my background, abilities and personality make me the perfect choice to tutor your student.

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +82 Subjects
My passion for teaching and tutoring began after I completed my first semester as a pre-medical student. At the time, I was majoring in Psychology and minoring in pre-medical sciences at Temple University. Being in such a rigorous program enabled me to bond with my classmates, who I would have the remainder of my undergraduate career, on another level of education: independence and trust. Each of us would gather after class and on the weekends to help each other study, or tutor each other in topics we didn't quite understand. This not only built my confidence as a teacher, but as a student. I'm a firm believer that anyone has the capability to learn anything - it's dependent on how driven you are as an individual to learn. Some things may not come too easy - this isn't something to feel inadequate about. We've all been there, myself included. If you have the passion to learn something in order to achieve a sought after goal, then you can. It would be my honor to serve as assistance to those who wish to learn more, solely because I am that person myself. Teaching and seeing the impact of understanding on my students' faces' gives me the utmost happiness. My ultimate goal is to become a physician - specifically orthopedic surgery or hematology!

1st Grade Math Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a graduate of Roosevelt University with a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry. I have experience tutoring college students in both biology and even more so in chemistry, which is my favorite school subject. I think anyone can understand chemistry with the right explanations and effort. I am always eager to help someone understand concepts that are foreign to them because I love seeing them have an "Ah-ha!" moment and experiencing that moment myself as an everyday learner. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, jogging, swimming, catching up on TV shows and watching films.

Kim
College English Tutor • +8 Subjects
I am a cum laude graduate from Rowan University. I received my Bachelor's degree in the Field of Early Childhood Education, with a certification to teach students with disabilities. In addition I hold a Bachelor of Communications in Writing Arts. While at Rowan I had the opportunity to work with a wide array of students at the elementary level, each with unique learning styles and preferences. On top of my elementary experience I also have tutored college, and ESL students in the area of writing. I am most passionate about language arts and literacy, as I have found that if a student is confident in their ability to read and write, they improve across the curriculum. Since graduation I have gone on to teach third grade in an inner city school district, with many struggling learners. I strive to engage all learners in their own education, by using an individualized approach that works best for them. Seeing a smile on a students face when they realize that they are learning, the pride and confidence they feel makes everybody's hard work worth it. Aside from teaching I enjoy writing, reading for pleasure, being outdoors, and of course baseball.

I love meeting people from other countries and help them learn to communicate effectively in English. My favorite subject to tutor is accent modification, a fancy way to say "a method to help students sound more American in their speech patterns? Ever feel like you're not being understood? That's what I tutor!
Raquel
College English Tutor • +27 Subjects
I attended NYU for my undergraduate studies and I am currently finishing up my graduate studies at LIU Brooklyn. It is my belief that education is the key to improving our communities. As educators it is not our job to give our students the answer, rather it is our duty to teach them how to be critical and independent thinkers. I am currently a high school Special Education English teacher. I became a teacher because I believe in the potential of all learners and understand that not all learning happens the same way. I am a passionate and dedicated person who constantly strives to better myself and my practice.

I have always been a reflective person, so when it comes to teaching I am one who reflects often, thoughtfully, and intuitively. I believe that when working with student it is essential to help each student become reflective and metacognitive about their own learning. If students are reflective in their learning process they will be able to advocate what they need to continue learning, they will be able to understand how to seek out knowledge, and they will become life-long learners as a result.

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.
