Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a first year public health student at Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. Since I was in high school, I had the privilege of taking several accelerated classes in multiple subjects ranging from English, Biology, Literature, Algebra, and Modern Language like AP Spanish Literature. I don't believe in a favorite subject, I feel that with hard work and dedication anyone can adapt and find joys in every subject. As a tutor of local neighborhood children, and a great resource to my peers in school, I carry the reputation as the person to reach out to whenever explanations are required. As a college student, I enjoy the greater depth of information that we cover, it proves to me that education knows no bounds and any information can be incorporated in daily life.

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. Since graduation, I joined the Rhode Island Teaching Fellows where I had the opportunity to work towards a teaching certificate and begin my journey in the classroom. I spent the past year teaching 10th and 11th grade students life science and chemistry.Outside of academia, I enjoy going for long runs. I used to be a sprinter while I was still in school and decided to take on the new challenge of long distance running. I also enjoy various other activities such as kayaking, indoor rock climbing and running off to amusement parks as often as possible. Additionally, I am an avid reader and am always looking for a good book to read on a typical afternoon.My teaching philosophy revolves around breaking content down as much as possible so that all students can understand. I believe even the most complicated of materials can be understood if the teacher takes the time necessary for students to build their skill set and confidence and this was especially useful to me in my time as a chemistry teacher.

Evan

ACT English Tutor • +88 Subjects

I view tutoring as an opportunity to share my passion for languages, literature, and the law with my students. Using a student-centered approach, I aim to meet students where they are, develop a clear plan for their progress, and ensure they meet their goals. I use a variety of instructional techniques to engage with students of all different learning styles. While holding students accountable to their personally tailored goals, I also try to make learning enjoyable by exciting the intellectual curiosity of my students.In terms of my language qualifications, I have received extensive training in language teaching techniques for both French and English as a Second Language. I was a French literature major who graduated cum laude and received highest honors for my senior thesis. I have spent hundreds of hours teaching English and French in classroom settings, and I bring all this experience to bear in my one-on-one tutoring sessions. I am prepared to help students of all levels improve their French and/or English language skills, from the fundamentals of reading, writing, speaking, and listening, to advanced grammar, composition, and cultural fluency.As for test preparation, I draw on my personal success on the SAT (perfect verbal score of 800) and the LSAT (167/180, 94th percentile nationally) to provide insight on test-taking strategies and knowledge of specific content areas. I recognize the inherent stress involved in taking standardized tests under timed conditions, but I strive to empower my students to do their best on test day through diligent preparation beforehand, and by breaking down the seemingly overwhelming task into more manageable parts. It's a marathon, not a sprint!

Jennifer

Anatomy Tutor • +13 Subjects

Hi! My name is Jenn and I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in May of 2011 with a Bachelor's of Science in biological sciences and a minor in chemistry. I did undergraduate research in a developmental biology lab, and studied abroad in Tanzania to do an independent research project on AIDS and Tuberculosis there. I am currently in the process of applying to graduate school to get my Master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies.During my time at Pitt, I was involved in the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. We did various service projects including Adopt-A-Block, partnering with United Cerebral Palsy, and most importantly to me, tutoring in Pittsburgh Public Schools. I tutored middle school science in the classroom and had a really great time working with the students, getting to know them, and helping them to grasp new ideas and concepts. It was a joy to watch them learn and share the pride they exhibited in their newfound knowledge. One method I found to be particularly effective was to break complex concepts down into simpler parts and help the student to organize those parts in a way that made more sense to them. This helped them to see the big picture.In my free time, I am training for a half-marathon, I play in a softball league in Philadelphia, I bike, read, and enjoy cooking.I look forward to meeting with you and your student in the near future!

Frequently Asked Questions

The Canadian Bar Exam consists of two stages: the Multiple Choice (MC) component testing foundational legal knowledge across core subjects, and the Scenario-Based Questions (SBQs) requiring integrated application of law to fact patterns. Students typically struggle most with the SBQ section because it demands synthesizing multiple legal concepts under time pressure while identifying which rules apply to complex, multi-issue scenarios. The MC component challenges students who haven't developed efficient recall strategies for the breadth of material covered across criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, contracts, torts, and other core subjects.

While the National Bar Examination (articling students) is standardized across most provinces, Quebec's Bar Exam differs significantly in structure and content, emphasizing civil law concepts alongside common law principles. Additionally, some provinces have specific requirements around professional responsibility and conduct that vary slightly. A strong Canadian Bar tutor understands these jurisdictional differences and tailors instruction based on which provincial bar exam you're preparing for, ensuring you're not wasting time on irrelevant material while building mastery of jurisdiction-specific rules and procedures.

SBQs require you to spot multiple legal issues within complex fact patterns, apply the correct legal rules to each issue, and synthesize your analysis under strict time constraints—a skill that's fundamentally different from memorizing black-letter law. Personalized tutoring helps by having you work through authentic scenarios with immediate feedback on issue-spotting, legal reasoning, and time management, allowing tutors to identify where you're missing issues or misapplying rules. Rather than passively reading sample answers, working with a tutor means practicing the active analysis process repeatedly until you develop the pattern recognition and strategic thinking needed to excel on test day.

Time management is absolutely critical—you'll have roughly 2-3 minutes per MC question and 12-15 minutes per SBQ, leaving no room for inefficient reading or analysis. Many students lose points not from lack of knowledge but from running out of time or spending too long on lower-value questions. A Canadian Bar tutor helps you develop a strategic approach to question prioritization, teaches you how to quickly identify issue patterns, and builds your speed through repeated timed practice with real exam conditions, ensuring you can demonstrate your knowledge within the actual exam constraints.

Look for tutors who have recently passed the Canadian Bar Exam themselves (ideally within the last 3-5 years), have experience teaching bar preparation, and understand the specific exam format and content requirements for your jurisdiction. Ideally, they should have practical legal experience or articling background, as this helps them explain how theoretical concepts apply in real legal practice. Additionally, strong Canadian Bar tutors should be able to provide detailed feedback on your scenario analysis, help you develop issue-spotting strategies, and track your progress on practice questions to identify patterns in your mistakes.

Most articling students dedicate 8-12 weeks of intensive study to bar exam preparation, with tutoring typically ranging from 10-20 hours depending on your starting knowledge level and target score. Students who struggled with certain subjects during law school or who want to maximize their score often benefit from 2-3 hours of weekly tutoring combined with independent study, while others use tutoring strategically for their weakest areas. The key is that personalized tutoring accelerates your preparation by focusing your study time on genuine gaps rather than reviewing material you already know well.

You should have completed your core law school curriculum covering the subjects tested on the bar exam (criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, contracts, torts, constitutional law, etc.), as bar exam tutoring builds on foundational legal knowledge rather than teaching it from scratch. However, if you're weak in a particular subject area, a tutor can help refresh your understanding of key concepts before diving into bar-specific application strategies. The most effective tutoring happens when you've already learned the core material and need help integrating it, identifying issues efficiently, and applying it under exam conditions.

Progress is tracked through increasing accuracy on practice MC questions (aiming for 75%+ correct), improved issue-spotting on SBQs (identifying all major and minor issues within the scenario), and faster completion times while maintaining quality analysis. You should also see improvement in your ability to articulate legal reasoning clearly and concisely, as the exam rewards efficient, accurate analysis over lengthy explanations. A good benchmark is improving your practice exam scores by 5-10 percentage points over 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring combined with independent study, with the biggest gains typically coming from mastering scenario analysis and time management strategies.
