Sarah
6th Grade Math Tutor • +12 Subjects
I love to learn, and I love to teach. My favorite thing in the world is to help people understand and enjoy math. So many people struggle to understand the concepts, and I love seeing the light spark in their eyes as it all clicks in thier heads and they are able to understand and remember how to calculate what they have been struggling with. I have finished my freshman year of college at Grand Canyon University and am working towards getting my degree in Secondary Math Education. I have tutored a varity of ages from 2nd grade up to Freshman in college. When it comes to the subjects themselves I love teaching math, specifically Algebra 1. I like helping people with Algebra 1 because it is one of the biggest foundation stones in math and a solid understanding of it will help when trying to conquer subjects like trigonometry and calculus. I prefer to work alongside the student to help them understand something. I help my students with the specific issues that they have within individual concepts.

Taylor
Anatomy Tutor • +34 Subjects
I love working with kids and I really enjoy helping someone to understand something in a new manner. I think that learning some of the subjects can be boring but I know how to liven the material up in a manner that is relatable/ easier to understand. I have been a camp counselor in the past so I have some experience working with kids; I am very patient and I was always someone in school that could turn a long tedious problem/ information into something that I remembered forever.
Carroll
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Texas at Arlington, with both a BA in English and a MA in Humanities, in the areas of Writing, Literature and History. I've taught at several universities overseas and in the United States. I've primarily taught Composition and Literature at the university level and have also taught English in High Schools and Middle Schools in the US, in Texas. For two years I taught English to Chinese students on an online platform, so I'm used to delivering course work in that format.I enjoy teaching Writing and helping students to prepare for their future academic careers by giving them a tool they can use for future essays, and exams.I've had a number of students return and thank me for helping them to be better prepared for their academic courses, allowing them to make better grades and be more confident in their abilities.Learning is something that never stops, we learn while in school, but we'll continue to learn about people and cultures around us as we interact with the world.
Maggie
ACCUPLACER ESL - Reading Skills Tutor • +26 Subjects
My interest in education and teaching began when I first started nannying when I was 14 years old helping kids with homework and continues to this very day with a love of academia, science and self improvement. I also have several years of experience in working with special needs children and adults, which I believe gives me a special understanding of all types of challenges and the patience required.I am in the process of earning a degree in Neuroscience at the University of Cincinnati.My favorite subjects are definitely science-based, though I also thoroughly enjoy and have a lot of experience in writing and reading comprehension.I love the challenges of learning and helping others understand new things.I am committed to helping others fully understand the academic challenges they need help with and finding a way to assist in a way that makes learning fun and easy, with a focus on a no-shame policy of being confident in your abilities and unafraid to ask for help. I am excited for this opportunity to help others achieve!

Jerry
ACT Writing Tutor • +40 Subjects
I graduated from Queens College with a degree in Sociology. I am currently in the process of applying to graduate programs to pursue my own dreams of an MBA. I have been a teacher/tutor for SAT, ACT, TOEFL, IELTS, GMAT, AP US History, and various other subjects for over four years. My favorite subject to teach is AP US History because I have the ability to make the stories of our past fun and interesting. I constantly update my teaching materials and methodology with each passing year to help my students. I enjoy teaching and seeing my students learn new things. When my students are able to earn better scores the moment is very rewarding to me. If there is a problem that you do not understand, I will help you understand it fully. Outside of academic I have a passion for sports, running, and music.
Matthew
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I started my engineering degree at a small private university (Western New England University), and I am currently a senior finishing my mechanical engineering degree at University of South Florida Tampa. After completion of this I plan to apply to law school to become a patent attorney.I have previous experience tutoring in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and Pre-calculus and I am currently certified to tutor in a wide variety of math up through Calculus 2. Furthermore I am certified to tutor in and a variety of physics and mechanical engineering classes.Calculus would be my favorite subject to tutor in because this is the core foundation of engineering problem solving. However, I enjoy a wide variety of different disciplines of math and physics.Everyone learns differently and traditional environments are not always ideal for all students. My approach is to identify a students strengths. Furthermore, I like to find out what a students current understanding of a topic is and expand upon the topic from this point.Outside of school I enjoy camping, backpacking, outdoors, concerts, comedy, and when not in Florida and back home, snowboarding.
Yuli
AP Biology Tutor • +19 Subjects
Throughout college and my two years as a math teacher, I found that there isn't one best teaching method. Instead, each student is unique and this reflects in their learning style. A good teacher will be able to change strategies to accommodate for differences in learning styles. I hope to be the best teacher that I can be by listening to my students and adjust my style of teaching to fit the student's needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
California's bar exam is known for being one of the most challenging in the nation, with a historically lower pass rate than many other states. The exam tests California-specific law extensively, particularly in areas like community property, professional responsibility, and California civil procedure, which differ from federal standards. Additionally, California requires a 6-hour essay portion and a Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) component, demanding deep substantive knowledge combined with strong written and multiple-choice test-taking skills.
Personalized tutoring addresses your specific knowledge gaps and test-taking weaknesses in ways that generic bar prep courses cannot. A tutor can create a customized study schedule, focus intensive practice on your weakest subjects, provide detailed feedback on essay writing, and help you develop strategies for the MBE multiple-choice section. This targeted approach allows you to maximize study efficiency, build confidence in challenging areas like evidence and contracts, and develop the time-management skills critical for passing on your first attempt.
Students commonly struggle with California-specific doctrines, particularly community property law, which has unique nuances not found in most other states. Evidence, professional responsibility, and the integration of California civil procedure rules also present significant challenges. Many test-takers also find the essay portion demanding because it requires not just knowledge of the law, but the ability to analyze fact patterns thoroughly and write persuasive, well-organized responses under time pressure. Structured practice with feedback on these areas is essential to building mastery.
Most bar exam candidates benefit from 10-12 weeks of focused preparation following law school graduation, though this varies based on individual background and performance. The California bar exam typically requires 300+ hours of study time to reach passing competency. With personalized instruction, you can work more efficiently by concentrating on high-impact areas and avoiding time spent reviewing material you've already mastered, potentially accelerating your readiness while building deeper understanding of complex topics.
An effective California bar exam tutor should have deep knowledge of California-specific law and substantive expertise in high-yield subjects like contracts, torts, criminal law, evidence, and civil procedure. They should also have proven experience helping students improve essay writing and MBE performance, understand the unique demands of California's exam format, and be able to diagnose your specific weaknesses through practice tests and targeted feedback. Look for tutors who can create a structured study plan, explain complex legal concepts clearly, and provide realistic guidance on what it takes to pass.
Yes. Research on 1-on-1 instruction shows that personalized tutoring significantly improves learning outcomes and test performance compared to self-study alone. By working with a tutor who understands California bar exam requirements, you gain targeted preparation in your weak areas, receive expert feedback on practice essays, develop effective MBE strategies, and build the confidence needed to perform under pressure. While success depends on your effort and starting point, personalized instruction dramatically increases your chances of passing on your first try.
Expert tutors prepare you for both components using distinct strategies. For the essay portion, they help you develop organizational frameworks, practice analyzing fact patterns quickly, and receive detailed written feedback to improve clarity and legal reasoning. For the MBE section, tutors help you master substantive law across 7 subjects, teach test-taking strategies to manage time and avoid common traps, and conduct targeted practice testing with performance analysis. This comprehensive approach ensures you're prepared to earn points on both sections of the exam.
