Meredith
ACT Prep Tutor • +23 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 2011 majoring in Biomedical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering and minoring in Chemistry. I worked for several years as a product engineer in industry and now am applying to go to medical school. While a college student, I was a campus tour guide, undergraduate researcher, violinist in orchestra, and I tutored both high school and college students for the Pitt Engineering Career Access Program. The tutoring program was designed to support students focused on graduating with a degree in science, technology, engineering, or math. My favorite subjects to tutor are anything in the math and science fields. I firmly believe that with the right approach and a bit of practice, anyone can grasp these topics. I treat solving math problems more like solving a puzzle, one piece at a time. Since I am passionate about the importance of math and science, I enjoy making them more relatable to a student by explaining their real world applications whenever possible.One of my favorite activities is distance running. I am a volunteer coach for the Girls on the Run Philadelphia organization and I ran the 2013 Chicago Marathon.Overall, I am an enthusiastic person and am excited about any opportunity to have a positive impact. I try to combine my technical background and creative personality to make learning a difficult topic easier for a student. I enjoy tutoring and find a great sense of gratification in helping students achieve their academic endeavors.

12th Grade Math Tutor • +42 Subjects
I have always been a goal oriented and reaching-for-the-stars individual. As a New York native, I graduated as the salutatorian from high school with regents' honors. I have excelled with 95%+ in all of my high school regents examinations. As a high school student I fell in love with Math & Science and frequently tutored my colleagues who were struggling with their classes. In my senior year of high school I achieved the NY1 Scholar Athlete scholarship and was placed on the NYC Chancellor's Honor Roll. I then went on to Stony Brook University where I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biology. At Stony Brook, I was on the Dean's List every semester and a Golden Key Honor Society Member. After completing my undergraduate science classes, I became a Teaching Assistant for Biology and Chemistry. As a teaching assistant, I met with students on a one to one basis during office hours and helped strengthen their problem areas.After undergrad, I went to medical school and graduated with honors. During medical school I tutored and prepared students for the United States Medical License examinations. I prepared and delivered daily lectures for the internal medicine students and increased the pass rate from 65% to 90%. I completed my medical clerkships and attained my M.D. December 2014.I am committed, devoted and conscientious to everything I set my mind on and my decision to tutor reflects my lifelong desire for personal growth and education. When tutoring, I believe that 'diagnosing' a student's weakness is essential to building a strong foundation. It is my motto to work hard and give nothing less than my very best. It brings joy to me and the thrill of seeing a student improve with my help drives my compassion and love for teaching. Teaching not only excites me but has become a part of me that I am dedicated to and passionate about. In my spare time I enjoy playing volleyball and running various races and marathons.

Up until recently Theoretical Physics was my main passion and the only thing I was focused on, but I fell in love with business model design and as such I am currently in the process of starting my own company. I am dedicated to creating the foundations of knowledge and possibilities that may one day trigger a new wave of human knowledge and human experience.
Kenan
10th Grade Math Tutor • +50 Subjects
One thing I know for sure is, as a student, the feeling of studying for a class or test and only vaguely understanding the material can be extremely stressful. That's why I am more than happy to share my knowledge with others who are struggling! Tutoring is a great way for me to spend my time helping others excel.I am currently a student at Rice University in Houston, Texas where I am majoring in Mathematical Economic Analysis. I have a strong math background and am also to teach test prep, having scored in the top percentile on the SAT and PSAT in high school. Best of all, I am still in school, so I know exactly what it is like to have classes, homework, tests, and deadlines!

Math and statistics don't have to make you want to pull your hair out. I can help you understand the details you need for your classes and show you how the concepts apply to real life.In the past, I've taken years of graduate level statistics, and served as a TA for introductory statistics, on my way to earning a Masters and a PhD. In the years since I finished, I became an expert in data visualization and business analytics.I really enjoy working with students who ask a lot of questions and I can't wait to hear yours.
Natasha
ACCUPLACER ESL - Reading Skills Tutor • +33 Subjects
I believe that every person can get better at their task if they put their mind to it. I am a fifth year teacher who has taught both social studies and language arts at the middle school level. I've tutored at the elementary and adult levels, as well. My goal as a tutor is to help and guide students where they need/want to be. I want to know that my students understand the subject or topic at hand. As a teacher already, I know how to make connections and meaning to the topic and can help guide others into understanding, as well. I am driven to helping others accomplish their goal no matter how many sessions it takes, because that is my job.
Carolyn
Elementary Math Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am a graduate of The Ohio State University and received my Bachelor of Arts in Korean. After graduation, I was blessed with various opportunities and experiences that have enriched the quality of my life. I interned for 3 months under the professional golfer in Dallas, TX. I worked with their non-profit organization that provides aid to young and aspiring golfers and traveled to Tampa, Florida and Seoul, South Korea. After the internship ended, I returned to Columbus, Ohio and had a number of odd jobs before starting full-time at The Ohio State University. At The Ohio State University, I worked at the Office of Legal Affairs as a legal secretary/front-desk receptionist for 2 years before realizing my passion for helping children. So I decided to quit my desk job and am currently enrolled at OSU studying child psychology.I am approved to tutor Elementary and Middle school level Math, Reading, English, Study skills and Organization, ESL/ELL, ISEE-Lower Level, SSAT-Elementary Level, Korean language and Korean culture. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite subject is Korean language and culture. I love sharing and spreading my heritage with others and enjoy learning about other cultures as well. My #1 policy for tutoring is patience. I believe every person deserves a second chance (and maybe even a third, fourth and fifth!) and will strive to always be patient and encouraging when working with students. As far as teaching style, I will do an assessment of new clients and will apply Bloom's taxonomy in every project. I start off by making sure the student remembers and understands the basic knowledge of a concept, then I will help the student apply and analyze their knowledge for a deeper and enriching learning experience. After a few sessions, I'll re-evaluate the student's needs and make any necessary modifications in order to help the student attain their goal(s).Another large part of my life is devoted to volunteering at church. I was the Treasurer and Vice President of the Young Adults/College group for the year of 2013. I am currently the Praise Team leader for Friday worship service and enjoy singing and playing piano. Every summer, I volunteer as a counselor for Ohio Youth Camp and last summer, I traveled to Jamaica for 10 days on a short-term mission trip. Also in my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, listening to music, running, and watching comedies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nebraska's bar exam pass rate typically hovers around 75-80% for first-time test-takers, meaning roughly 1 in 4 applicants don't pass on their first attempt. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction addresses your specific weak areas—whether that's mastering the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) questions, writing effective essays, or understanding Nebraska-specific civil procedure rules—rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Tutors can identify gaps in your knowledge early and create a targeted study plan that maximizes your preparation time.
The Nebraska Bar Exam consists of the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), essay questions covering both Nebraska and common law topics, and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT). A great Nebraska Bar Exam tutor will help you allocate study time proportionally—the MBE typically accounts for 50% of your score, essays 35%, and the MPT 15%—and will identify which subjects require more intensive review based on your practice test performance. Rather than studying every topic equally, personalized tutoring focuses your efforts on the areas where you're losing the most points.
The biggest obstacles students face are weak MBE performance (especially on heavily-tested subjects like Evidence and Civil Procedure), time management during essay writing, and gaps in Nebraska-specific law knowledge. One-on-1 tutoring targets these challenges directly: tutors can teach you efficient MBE strategies, coach you through timed essay drills to build speed and accuracy, and ensure you understand Nebraska substantive and procedural rules that differ from the general common law tested on the MBE. This personalized approach prevents you from spinning your wheels on topics you already understand.
The best tutors combine recent bar exam experience, deep knowledge of both MBE subjects and Nebraska state-specific law, and proven teaching ability. Look for someone who understands the Nebraska Supreme Court's bar admission requirements, can diagnose your weak points through practice test analysis, and has a track record helping students improve their scores. They should also be flexible—some students need MBE drilling, others need essay-writing coaching, and many need both. Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who can customize their approach to your specific needs and timeline.
Most bar exam candidates study for 8-12 weeks full-time (or longer if studying part-time), totaling 200-300+ hours of dedicated preparation. Your timeline depends on your law school performance, how much you've retained, and your target score. Personalized tutoring accelerates your progress by eliminating wasted study time and focusing your efforts on high-impact activities—you're not spending hours reviewing material you already know. Many students benefit from starting tutoring 2-3 months before the exam, using practice test results to shape your study plan and tutoring focus.
The MBE requires not just legal knowledge but also test-taking strategy—understanding why wrong answers are wrong, managing time across 200 questions, and recognizing question patterns. Tutors work with you on both skill-building and strategy: drilling high-frequency topics like Evidence, Civil Procedure, and Contracts; teaching you to eliminate distractor answers; and helping you identify which question types trip you up. Practice testing with detailed performance analysis is crucial—tutors help you spot patterns in your mistakes so you're not just taking more practice tests, but actually learning from them.
Essay writing requires both legal analysis and time management—you typically have 30 minutes per essay to spot issues, apply law, and write clearly. Personalized tutoring includes timed writing practice with detailed feedback on your issue spotting, rule explanation, application, and conclusion (IRAC). Tutors also help you master Nebraska-specific twists on common law topics, since the bar examiners test your knowledge of both. Writing multiple practice essays under exam conditions, then reviewing them with a tutor who identifies your patterns, is far more effective than writing essays alone and guessing whether you're on the right track.
