I'm passionate about teaching and learning. I'm a certified Math teacher in NY. I have over 8 years teaching experience in NYC public schools, in grades 7-12.

I also like watching children become more confident in their abilities and their skill level and grades improve.I have a BA in Business Administration, with a minor in Economics from the University of Connecticut.I have an MS in Secondary Education from Pace University and an MA in Education Policy from Columbia University.In my free time I enjoy art, design, yoga, cooking, and holistic wellness.

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.

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.

"You got a dream... You gotta protect it. People can't do somethin' themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want somethin', go get it. Period." -The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)As a 140+ time author, hip-hop artist, poet, spoken word performer and content creator - if there is anything that I know about dreams, I would like to tell you that taking your own path isn't the easiest feat in the world.Society teaches us that we should have the picketed fence, the perfect family and the college degree for the spacious cubicle twenty-five miles away from where you live. Honestly, that is not everyone's vision. Some of us do not desire to be average. Some of us do not desire to settle for a life of mediocrity.Some of us do not desire to let the talents and ideas given to us from higher powers go to waste all because we wanted to please someone else by fitting ourselves into their boxes. The world is constantly evolving and us as a species, we must evolve with it.I believe that the freedom of expression, whether it be in the humanities, performing arts, activism or essential services will help us to evolve and become more accepting of our differences. I've had the pleasure to use my aptitude for writing and performing to touch souls and hearts from all walks of life.My passion to heal the traumas of those that came before me along with my own gives me the fuel that I need to continue being of service to others as a beacon of light to show you no matter what life throws at you, never let that stop you in your tracks!

Adult Literacy Tutor • +22 Subjects
I first began teaching during graduate school, when I took on a small group of piano students in my parents' living room. Over the course of four-and-and-half years, my voice and piano studio grew from three to forty students as young as five and as old as seventy. I also had the opportunity to teach Literature and Drama at a private elementary/middle school for one year. While worthwhile and fun, my experience in the classroom helped me realize that I prefer working with students in a private lesson setting, as it allows me to understand their personalities and preferred learning methods. One-on-one, I am also able to get to know the students in such a way that they feel comfortable asking questions and being themselves throughout the learning process.My formal education and training are in music, specifically classical singing, and I hold a B.A. in Music from Gettysburg College, and an M.M. in Vocal Performance from University of Wisconsin-Madison. While at Gettysburg College, I acted as a tutor for Music Theory I and II students. I also took a number of literature and creative writing courses, along with seven semesters of German and a semester studying Music and German in Vienna, Austria. My love of reading, writing, and languages stays with me, and I still enjoy writing short stories and blogs, reading fictional novels, and brushing up on my German and French skills via Duolingo.While my career is mainly focused in music and private teaching, I have a strong background in administrative and publicity work. As an organization nerd, I revel in arranging paperwork, color-coding calendars, and creating spreadsheets. In my free time, I enjoy cooking healthy meals, baking not so healthy treats, and spending time with friends and family.
Sarah
Arithmetic Tutor • +5 Subjects
I am a graduate of University of Nevada Las Vegas. I received my Masters of Education in Special Education. Since graduation, I have taught for the Clark County School district as a Cross Categorial Special Education Teacher, and as a Short and Long Term Substitute as of 2004. I also tutored during this time. While teaching for the school district as a Special Education teacher I spent time in the resource room and the general education settings, main streaming special needs students from the resource room to the general education room. And in the general education classroom I would co-teach with the general education teacher. This model of teaching is very beneficial for all students and teachers in the classroom. I teach and tutor a broad range of subjects, however the subject I enjoy teaching the most is math. Mostly due to it being a subject that is not gray, you either got the answer correct or you did not and it helps to teach logic. Over the years while tutoring and teaching I would design and implement lesson plans for several tutored students ranging from ages 8 to 18 if not designed and implemented lesson plans for five high school resource/general classroom math classes. I also would organize, track and implement study materials for all my students daily. My teaching philosophy is to be thorough, versatile and try multiple techniques so to help students find their own learning style. Each student is unique in the way they learn and I feel I need to tailor teaching strategies and techniques to the students needs. When I'm not teaching I spend my time caring for my family if not enjoying the things that interest me such as health and travel. Or one of the many hobbies I have like, writing, reading, art and cooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
The West Virginia Bar Exam tests knowledge across multiple subjects, but most candidates struggle with the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and managing time across the full exam format. Many test-takers find the essay portion particularly demanding because it requires both deep substantive knowledge and the ability to write persuasive, well-organized answers under time pressure. Contract law, civil procedure, and evidence also frequently trip up candidates who haven't thoroughly mastered the foundational principles. Personalized tutoring helps you identify your specific weak spots and develop targeted strategies to address them before exam day.
Bar prep courses follow a set curriculum for all students, whereas personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts to your learning pace, learning style, and specific gaps. A tutor working with you individually can spend extra time on topics where you're struggling, skip content you've already mastered, and use teaching methods that work best for your brain—whether that's practice problems, Socratic questioning, or essay writing and review. You'll also get customized feedback on practice essays and exams, not generic explanations. This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress and greater confidence going into the exam.
An effective West Virginia Bar Exam tutor should have passed the bar themselves and have deep, current knowledge of West Virginia-specific law and the exam format. They should be skilled at breaking down complex legal concepts into clear explanations, creating practice problems tailored to your weak areas, and providing constructive feedback on your writing. Look for someone who understands not just the law, but also test-taking strategy—how to manage time, spot issues quickly, and structure answers to maximize points. Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who combine legal expertise with strong teaching ability and a track record of helping students succeed.
Most bar candidates spend 2-3 months in focused preparation, though the timeline depends on your background, how much time you can dedicate weekly, and how prepared you are when you start. Law school graduates typically need less foundational instruction than career changers, so personalized tutoring can be more efficient—a tutor can skip concepts you already know well and concentrate on gaps. Some candidates benefit from tutoring support throughout their bar prep, while others use it strategically to tackle specific problem areas for 4-6 weeks. Your tutor will help you develop a realistic timeline and study plan based on where you're starting from.
Yes, essay writing is one area where personalized tutoring delivers significant results. A tutor can teach you the IRAC structure (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) specific to West Virginia law, help you spot issues quickly in fact patterns, and give you detailed feedback on every practice essay you write. They'll show you how to prioritize issues, write concisely under time pressure, and avoid common mistakes that cost points. Many students improve dramatically once they get feedback on their actual writing rather than just reading about essay technique. Regular practice essays combined with constructive, individual feedback is one of the fastest ways to boost your essay performance before exam day.
Many successful bar candidates combine a comprehensive prep course with personalized tutoring for targeted support. You might use a prep course for the breadth of content coverage, then work with a tutor to dive deeper into subjects where you're scoring below your target or struggling to retain information. A tutor can also help you work through practice exams and MPT questions more strategically, identifying patterns in what you're missing. Some students find it helpful to have their tutor review their prep course materials and practice work to ensure they're studying effectively and not just passively consuming content. The tutor becomes your accountability partner and expert guide during the most intensive preparation phase.
Consistent progress tracking keeps you motivated and highlights what's working. Track your scores on full-length practice exams and individual subject area quizzes, take notes on which topics you're mastering and which still need work, and measure your essay scores against the grading rubric used on the actual exam. A tutor can help you set specific, measurable goals—for example, reaching a target score on contracts essays by a certain date, or improving your MPT performance by 10 points. Regular check-ins with your tutor, combined with practice test scores, give you concrete data about your readiness and help you adjust your study plan if needed. This data-driven approach removes guesswork and builds confidence as you see measurable improvement.
