Conversational French Tutor • +11 Subjects
Hello, I am a passionate and energetic native French Teacher from Brittany, France. I have over 10 years of experience teaching all levels and experiences of French to various age groups from children to adults. My goal as French tutor is to help students reach their full potential and give them confidence to succeed in French. On my initial meeting with the student, I assess their strengths and personality in order to tailer a tutoring program that is geared to their individual needs. A good tutor means being able to relate to the students personal way of interpreting the French language and showing your willingness to adapt a methodology to meet their needs. My tutoring and teaching sessions encourages and immerses creative processes for developing a student aptitude and mindset for an appreciation of bilingual opportunities and cultural enrichment. French is an artistic language that provides unlimited possibilities for developing an aptitude for cultural enrichment and artistic appreciation. Students who embrace the macro aspect of the language will also embrace the dynamics of the French culture, French art and French history.
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.

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!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Texas Bar Exam has a pass rate around 75-80%, with first-time test-takers from accredited law schools typically performing better than repeat test-takers. Common challenges include insufficient time management during the exam, weak performance on specific subjects like evidence or professional responsibility, inadequate practice with the Texas-specific format and multiple-choice questions, and difficulty applying multi-step legal reasoning under pressure. Many candidates underestimate how much the Texas exam emphasizes practical application over pure memorization, which requires targeted preparation strategies that go beyond general bar review courses.
Bar review courses provide comprehensive material coverage for thousands of students simultaneously, which means they can't adapt to your individual weak spots. Personalized tutoring from tutors experienced with the Texas Bar focuses on your specific gaps—whether that's struggling with the essay portion, multiple-choice strategy, or particular subjects where you consistently miss questions. Tutors work with you to diagnose why you're making errors, develop targeted study plans, and practice high-leverage strategies specific to how Texas tests material. This individualized approach typically accelerates improvement for repeat test-takers and helps first-time test-takers maximize their score potential.
The ideal timing depends on your situation. If you're preparing for your first attempt, many candidates benefit from tutoring during their bar review period to get personalized guidance on applying concepts and managing exam anxiety. If you're retaking the exam, starting tutoring earlier is typically more effective—ideally 2-3 months before your test date—so you have time to identify specific weaknesses and rebuild your strategy. Some candidates use tutoring before bar review enrollment to assess their readiness or target foundational gaps, then continue through review. Tutors can help you determine the best timeline based on your background, previous results if applicable, and target score.
The best Texas Bar Exam tutors have recent bar exam experience, understand Texas-specific exam nuances and scoring rubrics, and can diagnose exactly why you're missing questions rather than just re-teaching material. Look for someone who understands both the essay and multiple-choice sections, can teach practical time-management strategies, and has experience with your particular challenge areas. They should be able to explain not just what the law is, but how Texas tests it and how to efficiently apply it under time pressure. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who combine deep subject expertise with proven teaching ability and can customize their approach to your learning style and goals.
Improvement varies based on your starting point and how you apply tutoring. First-time test-takers often see significant gains by strengthening weak subjects and developing essay-writing strategy—typically 5-15 point increases in scaled scores. Repeat test-takers frequently improve more substantially by fundamentally changing their approach and targeting specific essay or multiple-choice vulnerabilities. The key predictor of success is consistent practice between tutoring sessions and openness to changing study strategies. Most candidates see meaningful improvement within 4-8 weeks of focused, personalized tutoring combined with regular practice exams and targeted review.
Effective Texas Bar Exam preparation addresses both sections because they test different skills and together account for your final score. The essay portion (worth 50% of your score) requires applying Texas law to complex fact patterns and communicating your analysis clearly—skills that benefit from personalized feedback and practice. The multiple-choice section (50% of your score) demands quick pattern recognition, strategic elimination, and understanding common Texas-specific traps. Many candidates are strong in one area but weak in the other. Tutors can evaluate your performance on both sections and create a balanced study plan, or focus intensively on whichever section is holding back your overall score.
Yes. Many test-takers struggle with particular subjects because they're either heavily tested on the Texas Bar in ways they didn't expect, or they find the material conceptually difficult. Evidence, professional responsibility, and civil procedure are frequent challenge areas. A tutor focused on your weak subjects can break down the most highly-tested concepts, show you how Texas exam questions target specific rules, and give you concentrated practice on the areas where you're losing points. This targeted approach is much more efficient than trying to strengthen everything equally, and it's particularly valuable for subjects that require understanding subtle distinctions or applying rules to complex scenarios.
