Bjorn
ACT English Tutor • +8 Subjects
As a graduate of the Institut d'tudes politiques de Paris (Sciences Po) holding a degree in Transatlantic Relations, I am incredibly passionate about both Francophone and Anglophone cultures. As a tutor, I try to transmit that passion to my students. I believe that a language cannot truly be understood without also understanding the culture from which it originated, and vice versa. I also believe that students will be more inclined to learn and practice a language if they are captivated by its culture. I am particularly fascinated by society, history, cuisine, music, and cinema. I try to integrate these subjects into my teaching as much as possible, as they serve as excellent examples of a language at work.I also believe in a practical, real-world approach to language-learning. Over the 8 years that I studied French, the 3 years that I lived and worked in France, and the 2 years that I have taught both French and English, I have experienced an incredibly wide-array of teaching styles. The most successful approaches were those that closely mimicked the cultural and linguistic immersion that I experienced when I actually arrived in France. While memorization is a necessary part of learning any language, understanding the grammatical foundation of that language is more important.Finally, I have experienced French and English in a variety of different environments (academic, professional, social...) and I am happy to cater my lessons to your needs.I look forward to meeting you and sharing my passion for language-learning. bientt!

I am working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Molecular and Cellular Biology from the University of Illinois @Urbana-Champaign. Since helping my peers in both high school and college I learned that I have both a passion and talent for imparting knowledge upon others. I am very excited for the opportunity in helping students achieve their potential. I have found that teaching is very rewarding for myself as well as my students. It helps cement my knowledge of the material and sometimes I can learn a little something from the students as well. I teach a wide variety of subjects including Algebra, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, Biology. My hobbies include swimming, basketball and board games.

I read this quote at one point in my life and it just made sense to me and I feel it applies to most of the things we do in life. Never settle for failure always strive to succeed."Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it."-Mia Hamm
Jim
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have a PhD in Russian from Columbia University, and 31 years of university-level teaching experience. Now that I'm a Professor Emeritus, I've became an art educator and language tutor. I've tutored people who were native speakers of French, Spanish, German, and Hungarian, among European languages; and of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, among Asian languages.And, actually, tutoring for SAT Prep and helping people improve their grades in high school English is not so different from that. When I do that kind of tutoring, I emphasize features of the very complicated English verb system such as colloquial phrasal verbs and their more formal equivalents ("to go back"/"to return").Of course, every student is different, and each teaching situation is different, so I bring to each session a prepared lesson that both reviews the previous lesson and works on new problems and ideas.

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.
