Nisarg

ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm a freshman here at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I graduated from Wayzata High, and I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor's of Science in neuroscience. At the University, I'm usually in class, studying, hanging out with my friends, or at club meetings! In my free time, I love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that teaching is a responsibility and a privilege; I'll put 110% into teaching if you put the same effort into learning. With hard work and patience, anything is possible!

Sean

Algebra Tutor • +10 Subjects

I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering at Kent State University. Throughout middle and high school, my access to tutors and other assistance services was limited. This in turn inhibited my learning and caused me to struggle in aspects of school that never really clicked. So I want to give others what I never got, and hopefully make learning easier to achieve. My subject of choice is math, but specifically, I tutor Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry.

Sam

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate from Yale University with a degree in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. An advocate for math and science education, I have become a writer and poet concerned with aesthetic philosophy since my graduation. My passion for teaching has taken on many forms, including as a music instructor, having maintained a private cello studio and conducted after-school string orchestra programs, as a running coach for youth and high school cross country and track athletes, and as a tutor in math and chemistry. At the moment, I tutor mathematics, which I believe to be an exceptionally crucial skill to develop for any academic subject and for a more intimate appreciation for the intricacies of the world. I fervently prescribe to a teaching method that promotes a unique engagement, both between student and instructor and with the subject matter, in order to impart the very human and meaningful elements residing in the material. Outside my more scholarly pursuits, I am an avid reader, a performing musician, and an amateur distance runner.

Alireza

Academic Coaching Tutor • +37 Subjects

I have 17 years experience in teaching general English, IELTS, TOEFL, and other international exams. I obtained my MA 14 years ago and am currently a PhD student in English teaching. I love to share my knowledge with my students in a friendly, warm, and culturally comfortable atmosphere I create all through my classes. I am particularly good at teaching speaking and writing in a smooth and exciting way. My students receive step-wise instructions in writing and clear feedback on their work. For speaking, I mostly focus on what my students want English for. This, I believe, maximizes our class efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

The New York Bar Exam covers multiple subjects, but students typically struggle most with Evidence, Criminal Procedure, and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) components. Evidence requires understanding intricate rules and their exceptions, which trip up many test-takers. Criminal Procedure involves complex constitutional principles that vary between state and federal contexts. The MPT demands strong legal writing and time management skills since test-takers must produce polished legal documents under pressure. Personalized tutoring can target these specific weak points, giving you focused practice and feedback rather than generic review.

Large prep courses move at a fixed pace and use generic materials that don't account for your specific gaps. Study groups can be inefficient since everyone's needs differ. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction from experienced tutors lets you focus exclusively on your weaknesses—whether that's mastering the New York-specific rules of professional conduct, strengthening your essay writing, or developing faster recognition patterns for Multistate questions. A tutor can also adapt their teaching style to how you learn best and create a study schedule that fits your timeline, which is crucial when preparing for a high-stakes exam.

An excellent bar exam tutor should have recent bar exam experience, ideally having recently passed or taught others who passed in New York. They should understand the specific format and scoring of the New York exam, including the MBE, essays, and MPT components. Look for someone who can diagnose your exact problem areas quickly and create targeted improvement plans—whether that's helping you memorize rules more efficiently, improve issue-spotting in essays, or manage time better. The best tutors combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and hold you accountable to your study goals.

Most test-takers benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though this varies based on your background and how much material you need to review. If you attended law school in New York, you may need less time since you've already covered the tested subjects. However, if you're a foreign-trained attorney or it's been years since you studied certain areas, you might need longer. The key is consistent, targeted studying rather than cramming. A tutor can help you create a realistic study schedule based on your starting point and identify which topics need more time investment to maximize your score improvement.

Yes—essay writing is one of the areas where personalized tutoring shows the most improvement. Bar exam essays require specific skills: quickly identifying legal issues, organizing your analysis clearly, and writing concisely under time pressure. A tutor can work with you on actual past New York exam essays, providing detailed feedback on your issue-spotting, rule application, and conclusion. They can teach you frameworks for organizing complex multi-issue problems and help you practice writing under timed conditions to build speed and confidence. With consistent practice and feedback tailored to your writing style, most test-takers see measurable score increases on the essay portion.

New York includes unique features like its specific New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (CPLR) questions and its own professional responsibility rules based on the New York Rules of Professional Conduct. The state also requires you to pass both the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) and New York-specific essay and performance test components. Many bar prep courses use materials that blend rules from multiple states, which can create confusion. A tutor focused on the New York exam can clarify which rules apply only to New York, highlight where New York differs from the Restatement or Model Rules, and ensure your preparation is aligned with what you'll actually be tested on.

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how much focused work you put in. Most test-takers who work with a tutor 1-2 hours per week report feeling significantly more confident about weak subjects and catching more issues on practice essays. If you're currently scoring in the borderline range, targeted tutoring often leads to a 5-10+ point improvement on the MBE as you learn to avoid careless mistakes and spot subtle issue patterns. On the essay and MPT sections, improvement is often more dramatic since these benefit heavily from personalized feedback on your specific writing and organizational patterns. The key is consistency and applying feedback to practice tests between sessions.
