James
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.
Sabira
Middle School Math Tutor • +35 Subjects
I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more! Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art
Ingrid
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Colorado's bar exam includes the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) components—the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE), Multistate Performance Test (MPT), and Multistate Multiple Choice (MBE)—but also requires Colorado-specific essays and performance tasks focused on Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct and state procedural rules. The Colorado portion typically accounts for 25-30% of your total score, making deep knowledge of state-specific law and ethics essential. Many test-takers underestimate this component and focus too heavily on uniform materials, which is a common reason for failing the Colorado portion specifically.
The Colorado-specific essays—particularly those testing Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, state court procedure, and property law as applied under Colorado statute—trip up many candidates who studied primarily UBE materials. The MPT (performance test) also challenges test-takers who haven't practiced time management under pressure; many run out of time on the second task. Additionally, the intersection of federal and Colorado law in areas like family law and civil procedure causes confusion, since Colorado courts often apply unique interpretations that differ from the UBE model answers. Personalized tutoring addresses these gaps by drilling Colorado-specific scenarios and teaching the strategic approach to allocating time across all three exam components.
The MPT requires you to complete two realistic legal tasks (like drafting a memo, contract, or brief) in 90 minutes total—roughly 45 minutes per task. The key is reading the instructions and file materials strategically: identify what you're being asked to do before diving into the facts, then extract only relevant information from sometimes lengthy files. Colorado test-takers often lose points by over-explaining or including irrelevant law, rather than by missing substantive content. A tutor experienced with Colorado Bar Exam prep can teach you the specific format preferences Colorado graders use and help you practice under timed conditions to build the speed and accuracy needed to score competitively on this section.
The MBE represents roughly 50% of your total score and covers Contracts, Torts, Civil Procedure, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Evidence, and Real Property—all tested uniformly across states. However, many Colorado test-takers score well on the MBE but fail overall because they neglect the Colorado-specific essays and performance test. A balanced approach typically dedicates 50-60% of study time to mastering MBE subjects (with practice questions and drills), while 40-50% focuses on Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, state procedure, and Colorado-specific essay patterns. A tutor can help you identify which MBE subjects are your weakest areas and prioritize accordingly, while simultaneously building your Colorado law knowledge in parallel.
Colorado's bar examiners prioritize ethics and professional responsibility because they directly reflect the Colorado Supreme Court's expectations for licensed attorneys. Questions testing Colorado RPC often appear embedded in essay fact patterns rather than as standalone ethics questions, requiring you to spot ethical issues while also analyzing substantive law. Common problem areas include conflicts of interest under Colorado RPC 1.7, fee arrangements and billing under Colorado RPC 1.5, and candor to tribunals under Colorado RPC 3.3. Test-takers frequently miss these issues because they focus on the substantive legal question (like contract formation) and overlook the ethical dimension. Targeted tutoring helps you develop the habit of identifying ethical issues first, which significantly improves your score on Colorado-specific essays.
An effective Colorado Bar Exam tutor should be a licensed Colorado attorney with recent bar exam teaching or tutoring experience—ideally someone who has taught the exam or reviewed actual Colorado bar exam essays. They should be deeply familiar with the specific Colorado-law topics tested (Colorado Rules of Professional Conduct, state court procedure, and common essay subjects like family law and property), and have access to or experience with actual Colorado bar exam questions and grading rubrics. Beyond subject knowledge, they should excel at teaching time management and essay structure under pressure, since the performance test and essays require strategic pacing. Look for tutors who can provide sample Colorado essays, explain grading standards, and give you realistic feedback on your practice work.
Colorado bar examiners expect a clear IRAC structure (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) with specific attention to Colorado law and statutes. However, many test-takers write essays that are too long or unfocused, losing points for poor organization rather than missing law. Colorado graders reward concise, well-organized essays that identify the key issues, state the applicable Colorado law accurately, apply it to the facts, and reach a logical conclusion—all within the time limit. Common mistakes include spending too much time on background law, failing to address all issues raised by the facts, or burying your analysis in lengthy paragraphs. A tutor can teach you a Colorado-specific essay template, help you practice under timed conditions, and provide feedback on your actual essays so you understand what graders are looking for.
Most test-takers dedicate 8-12 weeks of full-time study (or 4-6 months of part-time study) to prepare for the Colorado Bar Exam. If you're using a bar review course, tutoring is most effective starting 4-6 weeks into your study plan, once you've completed the foundational lectures and are beginning to practice essays and performance tests. At that point, a tutor can identify your specific weak areas—whether it's Colorado law gaps, time management on the MPT, or essay organization—and provide targeted instruction. Some test-takers benefit from tutoring earlier if they struggled with certain MBE subjects in law school, or later if they're retaking the exam and need focused work on Colorado-specific content. Personalized tutoring accelerates your progress by targeting exactly what you need rather than generic review materials.
