William Francis
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am currently a rising freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and plan on majoring in business and potentially computer science. I have a passion for math and have tutored my younger brother (2 years younger) and his friends for the past few years during which I have come to enjoy tutoring. My favorite subject to tutor is math up to AP Calculus AB, and physics as that is what I have the most experience with. I have a very strong focus on helping students understand WHY they are doing something in a math problem instead of just telling them what to do, as I feel that allows the student to understand the material significantly better. I also have experience tutoring the math section of the SAT.
Clayton
Arithmetic Tutor • +10 Subjects
In sharing my qualifications and interests, I hope to provide you with tremendous confidence in my abilities to not only establish a strong rapport with you, but to also be an exceptional teacher in arithmetic, elementary math, middle school math, and pre-algebra!I currently have seven years of experience teaching upper elementary education. The last two years of my career were spent in Hong Kong at an international Christian school. During this time, I learned a lot about how to connect with a wide variety of students and learning styles. In 2007, I received my Bachelor's in Elementary Education at Missouri Western State University and, in 2010, I completed my Master's in Elementary Administration at William Woods University.I consider myself to be a creative individual, with a variety of interests including family, outdoors, and music. Almost every Sunday, my wife, my daughter, and I go to my parents' house to have lunch and spend time with my family. When I lived in Hong Kong, this was something that I really missed a lot! My interest in music is rooted in the fact that I was in band all through school and college. I can play the Euphonium, a little piano, guitar, harmonica, and the mandolin. And if you are wondering what kinds of things I like to do outdoors, it would most definitely be hiking and fishing! In fact, I almost wish I could be outdoors catching some fish right now!

Esther
1st Grade Reading Tutor • +57 Subjects
I have recently graduated from the Burnett Honors College at the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences. This upcoming year I am going to the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University to get an MS in Nutrition and Metabolism.I have been a tutor for college students for 2 years at my university, teaching Organic Chemistry 1 and General Chemistry. I've also helped high school students with college admission essays, and with kindergartners in the Junior Achievement program.I enjoy working with children and finding creative ways for them to learn the material and to try to inspire a desire to learn by making learning fun for them. I also really enjoy teaching general chemistry, because I find the material fascinating. When I tutor a student, I don't just give them the answers, but rather I guide them to the answers. It is important that a student learns how to find the answers themselves so they do not become dependent on outside sources.
Neal
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am currently a student at the University of Missouri Kansas City as a part of their 6 year direct medical program. Medicine is my passion, and I'm thrilled that we are able to interview patients in the hospital and learn from them very early on in the process.The best teachers I've ever had have been more than just adults. They were passionate about the material they taught, and that passion was carried over to me. That is the main thing I hope to show students. A passion that will help them understand the material better.One of my favorite parts of tutoring is getting to know the students' learning style and how they think. The best part is that I have just recently taken all the subjects I have listed to tutor in. The information is fresh in my mind, so I can approach the content from many different angles to help the student understand the material.Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time at Buffalo Wild Wings, hands down the best wings I have ever eaten. Consequently, I also spend a lot of my time exercising - usually swimming or weightlifting.

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.
