Jeff
Elementary School Reading Tutor • +7 Subjects
I attended The Ohio State University, where I majored in History with a minor in Business. Currently, I am a rising 2L working towards my law degree at Arizona State. I specialize in helping students with Reading and Writing skills. My focus is on creating study habits and techniques that are tailored towards a student's learning style and ability. I'm here to help students succeed in any way that I can by using my own academic experiences. Outside of the classroom, I love sports, hiking, and travel.
Benjamin
Accounting Tutor • +39 Subjects
I am a 2023 graduate of the University of Notre Dame with a Finance/Economics major and a minor in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. I am a passionate student in the math and business realms, as I enjoy the intuitiveness of the former and the real-world potential of the latter. During classes in middle and high school, I developed a reputation of being a good source of help within my classes in a non-tutor capacity, and grew that into a peer tutor role a couple times a week during lunch my senior year of high school. What I hope to accomplish with my tutoring is ensure that you not only achieve your desired grade/score, but see how the different concepts relate to each other in the bigger picture. The more important part is to critically think about the subject matter in other, more unfamiliar contexts. Also, in my math subjects, I seek to provide personal secrets in realms including quicker computation strategies, unique acronyms for certain rules, and other intuitive shortcuts.
Adam
Conversational Mandarin Tutor • +38 Subjects
When I lived in Taiwan I had to teach English to students and the thought that kept occurring to me is that: English is way harder than Mandarin!I mean sure ,they have tones and characters. but their grammar NEVER CHANGES (Sooooo nice) In Mandarin there is no "i before e exept after c" nonsense. That's one of the many beauties of the Chinese language it's much more direct than English. You're probably thinking . yeahh....but tones and characters is why mandarin is hard. What if I told you there are little hacks that make learning the material way easier. If we work together I will for sure let you know about them! So much easier than rote memorization! But what if school isn't your thing? That you are a slow learner?Here's the great part, That's what I thought about myself!s I barely graduated high school and now I'm studying to be a Professor of Asian languages at the hardest school in my home state ( a school that happens to have one of the top language programs in the United States.) What Changed? I started to learn on my own terms. So let me help you break your labels if that's the case! Let me and help you get a good score on the quiz if that's all you care about. WHATEVER it is, I want to hit YOUR goals! Because I know I can help you do that with Chinese! Can't wait to work with you!ps I hope you don't mind getting a Taiwanese accent because that's what I have .

Meenu
Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
Hi! My name is Meenu and currently I am a 4th-year student at the School of Architecture at Syracuse University. I plan to get my B. Arch and M. Arch to become a professor in the field, and pursue a personal design career on the side. I have taught at Kumon Learning Center for almost 5 years and have plenty of experience tutoring students with SAT test preparation. In addition, I have taken over 10 years in fine arts training and am thrilled to offer to teach drawing in fine arts. Although I can teach a range of subjects, I am most excited about teaching all levels of mathematics, writing, SAT test prep, and fine arts; including drawing. I am also willing to provide additional course material and address questions/concerns.
Sarah
Arithmetic Tutor • +5 Subjects
I am a graduate of University of Nevada Las Vegas. I received my Masters of Education in Special Education. Since graduation, I have taught for the Clark County School district as a Cross Categorial Special Education Teacher, and as a Short and Long Term Substitute as of 2004. I also tutored during this time. While teaching for the school district as a Special Education teacher I spent time in the resource room and the general education settings, main streaming special needs students from the resource room to the general education room. And in the general education classroom I would co-teach with the general education teacher. This model of teaching is very beneficial for all students and teachers in the classroom. I teach and tutor a broad range of subjects, however the subject I enjoy teaching the most is math. Mostly due to it being a subject that is not gray, you either got the answer correct or you did not and it helps to teach logic. Over the years while tutoring and teaching I would design and implement lesson plans for several tutored students ranging from ages 8 to 18 if not designed and implemented lesson plans for five high school resource/general classroom math classes. I also would organize, track and implement study materials for all my students daily. My teaching philosophy is to be thorough, versatile and try multiple techniques so to help students find their own learning style. Each student is unique in the way they learn and I feel I need to tailor teaching strategies and techniques to the students needs. When I'm not teaching I spend my time caring for my family if not enjoying the things that interest me such as health and travel. Or one of the many hobbies I have like, writing, reading, art and cooking.
Mark
American Literature Tutor • +46 Subjects
I am passionate about helping students because without a thorough education, I would not be the person I am today. Education was at first something handed down to me from figures of authority. The more I studied and applied myself, however, a feeling ownership and agency began to develop. Education was less something handed down to me, and more something which I owed that I could engage in at any time. I want to help students discover how fun and how immeasurably valuable education can be, not because an authority figure told them so, but because they know this in their own heart. So far I've tried to impart this idea to students at CitySquash in the Bronx, and Harlem RBI in Manhattan, two programs which blend tutoring instruction and homework help with sports. Tutoring sessions were one-on-one for one to two hours per week.I received my Bachelors in America Studies and in Communication and Media Studies from Fordham College Rose Hill in the Bronx. I'm saving money so that I can eventually enter a masters program in either Journalism, or History. I tutor the subjects of History (European, American, World - high school and AP level) and Language Arts (reading comp, writing, language and literature - high school and AP level). My favorite subject to tutor is American history. Bob Marley once said "A people without the knowledge of their past history and culture is like a tree without roots." As Americans (no matter when we arrived to this land) we need to understand thoroughly our history, so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. We must see historical trends so that we can anticipate the future. We must nurture and grow our tree, and to do so we must know our roots.My teaching philosophy revolves around the student learning to lead by himself or herself. Tutoring is temporary, and a student must learn to learn. Memorizing information is great for passing tests, but mastering methods of learning will help a student to succeed throughout his or her entire lifetime. So I try to show students how to learn more than just what to learn.Outside of academia, I love music - reggae music, jazz music, hip hop music, electronic music, all music. I also play the drums, and attend concerts whenever I have the time and money. I enjoy practicing yoga, taking hikes and exploring New York's Hudson Valley. I devour books and one day want to write my own.
Matthew

I have three years of tutoring experience in standardized test prep through various tutoring companies Not only do I have a great time tutoring, but I find that as a general benefit, it serves to keep my reasoning and communication skills sharp, which is useful to my professional development.
Alan
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I am a graduate of Boston Latin School and MIT. I have loved math and science since I was a child, and I loved my time at MIT, earning a BS in Materials Science, a PhD in Materials Science, and doing post doctoral work there. After leaving that academic world, I was drawn to software engineering and started my own software consulting business, which I have run for many years. I found that tutoring my sons and daughters and other young people in math has been very rewarding and that my enthusiasm for math and science can be infectious. My approach to instruction is to determine quickly what issues prevent the student from understanding the material and to work in a supportive and guided manner to help the student achieve success. Nothing makes me happier than helping a student to gain confidence by mastering a topic they were having trouble with. I love music, mostly jazz and rock, a love I got from my parents. I read science fiction, and do Tai Chi, and am working towards becoming an instructor, which is another form of tutoring as I see it. I am an Eagle Scout, and for many years, I have mentored young men who are working on attaining that rank. I volunteer to help the seniors in my home town with electronic device problems in their homes. I believe that a good education is the foundation for success in life. I like to think I've motivated and encouraged many young minds to achieve success.

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.
