I went to Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, specializing in math and science. I graduated from University at Albany Magna Cum Laude with a degree in English Literature. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology at New York University. I chose this field because of my love of language and my desire to help people.

It is quite rewarding.I have experience tutoring students of all ages. I specialize in math through the high school level, including Algebra.

I am a graduate student at St. Thomas University studying Criminal Justice. I previously graduated with my Bachelor's degree in May 2017. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with a certification in Homeland Security. I have a lot of experience working with students both at Carol City Middle School mentoring them and giving them academic advice to succeed as well as coaching volleyball at Florida Suns Volleyball Academy. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Writing. I think it is very powerful to have a well-written essay. I am a firm proponent of academic success. I completed my undergraduate degree in 3 years and I would love to help students on a path of their own. In my spare time, I enjoy playing volleyball, reading, exercising, watching Netflix, and playing with animals! I was a volleyball athlete for 12 years of my life and the aspect of teamwork and hard work has shaped me into the person I am today.

Reduced assignment error rate 90%, improved performance 55%... These are just two of my many accomplishments over the last year. Are you looking to improve you or your student's performance in school? As an academic enthusiast, I believe that every student is capable of performing at a high level. Specializing in Algebra 1, Math, Business and Financial and Managerial Accounting, I wish to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is George and my goal is to advance the performance of each student using customized lessons. Getting to know each student for who they are is an essential part of teaching to understand, all while making lessons fun.

I am a college student studying data science. Empathy and equity are essential in our world and for students' success. I have spent the last few years helping students learn complex subjects such as Statistics, Calculus, and General Biology. Not every student learns the same way. My goal in tutoring is to find a student's learning style and optimize their success. I believe that anyone can learn anything under the right conditions!
Ana
Elementary School English Tutor • +11 Subjects
Growing up as a first generation student in Boston Public Schools has given me the experience needed to understand the challenges students face: access to content. Through my continued studies at Hamilton College (Bachelor's in Mathematics) and UMASS Boston (Masters in Education) I was able to learn that mastery of the content is not just what is needed to ensure student success. At the minimum, a teacher must also utilize and create anti-racist curriculum, prioritize the social and emotional well-being of the student, communicate and engage with a student's family active participants in their learning, familiarize themselves with current cultural and social events in the real-world, and provide differentiation for students by utilizing tools, manipulatives and providing students with multiple forms of expressing what they have learned. I am hoping to continue to learn about the needs of students through ESL Certification in the fall.I have experience working in two Elementary Boston Public Schools as both support staff and a teacher in an inclusion classroom. I find great joy in sharing my cultural background and helping students learn more about themselves through the content they need to learn. Although my primary experience is with Elementary students, I love exploring and teaching Math topics such as Pre-Algebra. Mathematics is typically a polarizing subject and being able to show students that everyone is a mathematician has been a big passion of mine.My belief that everyone deserves compassion, dignity and respect is at the forefront of my philosophy of education. Students deserve a safe and supportive learning environment modeled and led by an empathetic teacher. A student's interests and hobbies as well as the world around us are used with the content to help increase engagement. After speaking to a student and their family more, we set goals and expectations for our time together as a team. I strive to keep learning fun, creative and engaging while not sacrificing the rigor of the content.

I recently went back to school and received my Masters of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of Connecticut. I tutor a range of subjects, but I especially like tutoring admissions tests such as the SATs and GMATs to help enable people to reach their educational goals. In my spare time I enjoy reading and playing games of any kind.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am an incoming Aerospace Engineering sophomore at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. I am seeking a Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering with the hope of continuing my education as a Master of Science prospect. I've gained tutoring experience during my senior year of high school as a member of the National Honors Society. I was provided various opportunities to teach a broad range of K-12 subjects and expedite students' problem-solving approaches. Although, my expertise is more STEM-oriented towards engineering fundamentals, calculus, physics, and various STEM-related topics. I've been proven flexible to tutor various subjects while integrating creative lessons for greater understanding. I've initiated a public speaking program called "Eloquence Speaking Program" to help students overcome the universal fear of publicly speaking and develop their interpersonal competencies. I loved working with students of all ages, because everyone is unique in their own way. My goal is to reinforce students' strengths and address their weaknesses. Education is a broad spectrum, and there shouldn't be one way of developing an understanding for a certain subject. I believe each student should be accommodated and taught differently to best reap the benefits.
Max
Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects
I am a master's student in Astrophysics at Tufts University and a 2017 graduate of Colgate University with a Bachelor of Arts in Astronomy/Physics. Before going back to school in the Fall of 2019 I spent time working in healthcare analytics and tutoring students in Math and Physics in the Greater New York City area. I now am available to tutor all levels of Math, Physics, Astronomy and programming in Python. I am passionate about Astronomy and truly believe that learning about the wonders of the World and Universe around us truly enriches our quality of life and education. I love seeing the "lightbulb moment" when working with students where they are able to connect the dots and overcome a particular challenge that we have been working on together and always strive to improve student outcomes whether that be mastering a new subject or polishing up their problem solving abilities, there is no greater feeling than being able to help someone learn and encourage a lifelong love of learning. When I am not tutoring or at school I can be found going on a run through Cambridge, supporting all of my (mostly terrible) New York sports teams and most recently improving my cooking and baking skills.

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.
