Kathryn
10th Grade Reading Tutor • +89 Subjects
I am a graduate student, working towards my Master of Public Administration and Master of Diplomacy and International Relations from Seton Hall University. I recently graduated from Loyola University Chicago with degrees in International Studies and French.I love learning, reading, and exploring the world around me through kayaking, skiing, hiking, and biking! I am also an avid opera fan and enjoy the fine arts in general. Languages and different cultures have always been a passion of mine, and I love to make connections from around the world in my learning and teaching. I enjoy tutoring French at all levels. Reading and writing are favorite pastimes of mine, and I was a student who actually thoroughly enjoyed taking the SAT, ACT, and PSAT reading/writing sections!I have a passion for helping others find enjoyment in standardized test taking (no matter what it takes!) and securing the best strategies for their success. Editing is another 'hobby' of mine, and I am always eager to work through a paper with someone. My goal in a learning environment is to facilitate a patient but still energized atmosphere in regards to knowledge. I am looking forward to working with your student!
Minhquan
CAHSEE Prep Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am a former English Teacher and I really enjoyed my time working with students. Although my career path has turned towards the Law, I still miss sharing my love of English literature and writing with others.As a former educator, I am deeply familiar with the many issues that students, Teachers, and schools face. When I student-taught at Edison High School, I learned the importance of not only appreciating each student's learning style, but the less salient aspects of his or her life which affected learning: their extracurricular activities, workload in other classes, and emotional, social, or psychological struggles. I held firm to my standards, as to what kind of commitment I expected from my students, and opened myself up as a resource to help them to fulfill those standards.My specialty has always been Reading, Writing, and Literature. Communication and analysis are the very core of what English classes are meant to teach. By using this as the framework for my lessons, I push my students towards mastery of the subject, rather than rote memorization of grammatical rules and literary devices.
Richard
ACT Prep Tutor • +58 Subjects
I am a graduate of Georgetown University and Loyola University-New Orleans' College of Law. I possess a B.S. in International Relations with a concentration in International Politics and a J.D. I have over 5 years' tutoring experience with students from elementary, middle, high school and university backgrounds in a variety of subjects:-TOEFL-SAT Reading and Writing-History-Geography-Debate and ForensicsI prefer to tutor social sciences and language arts courses because I believe a solid understanding of communication and social issues is fundamental to our society's growth and development.As a tutor, I try to identify the strengths and motivations of my students in order to find out ways to help students identify with the subject matter. I find that identification of the material with concrete examples or applications makes any subject more interesting, and easier to learn.Outside of work, I am interested in technology and education issues, and I try to be as involved in community events as possible.
Connor
College English Tutor • +27 Subjects
I have a strong passion for learning and teaching, which has led me to becoming a teacher and tutor. I find great enjoyment in seeing students finally understand a concept, and the joy that overtakes them as it happens. My background as an actor and student of theatre has given me an unique exposure to literature and history outside of the traditional classroom setting. It is with this nontraditional approach that I like to design my lessons so students stay interested in the material.

Marzia
Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects
I love to tutor for all the "aha!" moments my students have.Currently, I am working on a degree in medicinal Biochemistry from Arizona State University. In the past, I've tutored the following major courses: Biology 1 and 2, General Chemistry 1 and 2, Organic Chemistry 1 and 2, Physics 1 and 2, as well as Calculus 1 and 2. I also enjoy tutoring elementary, junior high school, and high school level students in ALL subject matter. I have a deep understanding of these core subjects and promote learning from the fundamentals. My goal as a tutor is to not only teach difficult subject matter, but also to promote students to think critically and problem solve so that they develop the skills to be independent studiers.
Muktasid
ACT Math Tutor • +15 Subjects
I am currently a fourth year student at St. John's University working on my Doctorate in Pharmacy. I specialize in test prep such as SAT, ACT, SHSAT, etc. but am more than capable of teaching a variety of subjects. I have been tutoring students since middle school and have found that "practice makes perfect" is the most effective philosophy when it comes to learning. I love being able to help people, and the satisfaction of helping students excel in their studies provides me the incentive to give it my all when I am teaching

I am a dedicated instructor that uses language as a tool to connect with others and build unique relationships. I intend to connect my students with the cultures and values that come with learning languages and embark a passion for these ideals. Although language is a big component of my life, I do like many other things. I enjoy Cooking, Music, spending time with loved ones and a variety of video games.
Alex
Applied Computer Science Tutor • +37 Subjects
I'm an adjunct college professor and faculty tutor for a diverse student body teaching Network Security & Computer Virtualization (the technology behind the Cloud). I tutor networking, virtualization & programming languages: C#, C++, Swift, Python, HTML, JS, CSS, bash.On campus, I give all my students a tour of the Digital Information Technology room where students can engage in extracurricular IT projects. This room is loaded with neat technology to inspire students to see the IOT (internet of things), make friends playing video games on a homemade arcade console, work on digital whiteboard or play with a Cisco 10g switch. It's an incubator for student development.I find teaching very fulfilling. I like the idea of teaching, inspiring & enabling students to succeed. I like the idea of teaching a concept that will echo in their minds for decades to come.In addition to being an AWS Certified Solutions Architect Associate & an AWS Certified Developer Associate, I am also an AWS Academy Accredited Educator giving me access to official teaching materials from AWS. I have also vetted a test bank to be the most reliable source of test questions & have gone beyond that to annotate the confirmed correct answer and comments on why the other answers are incorrect. This understanding of the test questions in their entirety not only teaches the material but goes far into assuring exam certification success.My proudest accomplishment since I started working for Varsity Tutors was when I recently increased a 610 score to a 735 (720 is passing) over 14 sessions in 30 days. I know I can do this again.My teaching philosophy is that regardless of the reason for a student's low aptitude for a subject whether it be due to poor fundamentals, a lack of focus etc., all can be cured by raising the interest quotient. If I can get a student to see the magic in world around us and teach that student how the magic trick works, they get hooked and want to know more.Aside from academics, my interests include playing pool, hanging out with my girlfriend and her dogs, IOT (internet of things) & home appliance repair.

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.
