Sidra
10th Grade Math Tutor • +39 Subjects
I have always had a passion for tutoring. I have tutored my siblings in a variety of subjects. I believe that Tutors should be concerned about finding the most suitable method of delivering information to students, since each one has a different way of retaining information. I strive to do that for all of my students. I am also very patient and persistent. I put a great effort into explaining concepts until they are well understood.My method is basically dependent upon breaking down a concept into several smaller ideas. Some students might feel devastated or hopeless when it comes to a particular subject, so, I try to enhance their morale and attitude, giving them hope of improvement over the course of tutoring with me.

Anything I set out to do, I put forth 100% of my effort. I am a college graduate from Loyola University in Chicago with a BS degree in Physics. I will pursue a PhD in Chemistry.I am a very logical and rational person, and I believe that is reflected in how I teach my students. I do my best to have students understand concepts rather than just memorizing them, which will help problems become much easier in the long run.I try not to force students into doing something but rather, encourage them. I do appreciate a little sense of humor. I am known to be able to put a smile on anyone's face.

Logan
Art Tutor • +56 Subjects
I am a graduate of The College of William and Mary. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English, with a concentration in film studies and a minor in anthropology. My passion for literature brought me to New York--specifically to the New York publishing world, where I worked as an assistant to a literary agent for two years. It's probably become clear at this point that the subject I am most passionate about is writing. In college, I worked as a consultant at my school's Writing Resources Center, assisting students with their academic papers. In this position, I helped our clients improve the overall structure of their papers, strengthen their research, cite their sources, and correct their spelling and mechanics. I feel confident that I can address any paper problems you might have and make the writing process less intimidating.Aside from academic papers, I also write comedy sketches and spend most of my free time improvising and creating webseries with friends. Performing as a comedian may not seem connected to my educational philosophy, but I think many of the skills you learn as an improviser translate well to test taking. Staying calm under pressure and adjusting your strategy to meet new challenges are important whether you're onstage or in SAT prep mode!

Molly
Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects
I am a graduate of the College of New Jersey. I received a Bachelor's of the Arts in Psychology and Master's in Elementary Education and the Education of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students. I also earned 21 credits at Rowan University in order to obtain an endorsement as a Teacher of Students with Disabilities. Since the start of my career, I have worked with children and students from ages birth to 21. I have extensive expereince in teaching literacy to students who are Deaf and tutoring hearing students in this area. I have also provided academic support across various subjects for students 3-21, as well as direct instruction in the area of Transition (postsecondary). I am fluent in American Sign Language and take a person interest in Deaf Culture as my sibling was Deaf. I believe a student's education should be tailored to their specific needs and learning styles. Because I mostly teach one-on-one, I take great pride in being able to learn about each of my students on a deeper level and being able to provide that tailored instruction. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cooking, and crafting. I also make time to volunteer at local food pantries whenever possible.
Lucinda
Elementary School Tutor • +23 Subjects
PERSONAL STATEMENTI earned a Bachelor's degree in elementary education from Drake University, Master's degrees in both Educational Administration and Special Education, and a doctorate from the University of the Nebraska at Omaha, NE.I tutor all elementary and middle school general education subjects and special education for those students as well. My favorite subjects to tutor are math, science, and social studies.When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with our large extended family, spending time with our dog, reading, and traveling when I can.When I was a child, I always looked for role models and one of my elementary teachers, Mrs. John stepped up as a very influential figure in my life. Her personal interest helped me know I could be successful in life. I have tried to use the same inspiration I received so many years ago in my career in education for the past 40 years.As a teacher, I believe that a desire to teach, enthusiasm, and dedication for your subject are three key elements for teaching, but we must also care deeply for children. We must have the will to develop strong relationships with learners to enhance the learning process.As an experienced teacher, I am excited about the opportunity to continue to apply my skills as a tutor. I have face-to-face classroom experience at the elementary, middle school and high school levels. I have taught general and special education. I have taught face-to-face classes, hybrid, and on-line classes at the university level.I am enthusiastic about trying to influence my students by showing interest in them, being committed to developing relationships with them as learners, and by implementing teaching strategies to help them learn. In these ways, I hope to make learning memorable and transform the way they view their world.

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.
