Constitutional Law Tutoring FAQ
Constitutional law is one of the most challenging courses you will take in law school. Since it is an area featured on all state bar examinations, it is a required course for all first-year law students. In addition, you may take additional constitutional law courses dealing with criminal procedure involving the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments; the First Amendment; and the Fourteenth Amendment. There are many aspects to law that may be difficult for you to grasp, whether you are struggling with numerous case reports and rulings or if you are trying to recall the specific dates of an Amendment. Fortunately, Varsity Tutors can assist you in finding a law tutor that is well-versed in the area you find challenging.
Although there are a number of constitutional law courses to take, the introductory constitutional law course in the first year of law school is often considered the most difficult of all. Law students will generally take the constitutional law course in the second semester of their first year, and thus have only a limited experience with the intricate written opinions of Supreme Court Justices. In addition, much of the case law is older than the case law in other courses. Some Supreme Court Justices write in an esoteric style that new law students can find to be inaccessible and confusing. Once you comprehend the text itself, you must memorize a byzantine network of tests and conditions that the federal government and the courts choose to apply to questions of federal authority and the circumscription of civil liberties. It is enough to boggle anyone's mind, but you can master constitutional law with the help of a law tutor.
The questions of how and when to apply the U.S. Constitution are endless and complex. Constitutional law requires an understanding of history and an ability to sift through and comprehend very dense writing. Private law tutoring can help in any of these areas. Constitutional law tutors are current and former law students who have dealt with the same federal case laws that you face as a first-year law student. They can help you charge through difficult case laws and glean important and controlling judicial opinions. These tutors are well-versed in breaking down the law into easily understood terms. You can rest assured that they can guide you along the way. They can also help you construct a concise and meaningful outline that can help you manage the material throughout the semester and demonstrate your understanding of it on tests and in your assignments.
Varsity Tutors supplies you with a student account that allows tutors to look over your needs. They will see your schedule, your location, your concerns, your courses, your learning style, and more. They use these details to create a personalized tutoring plan. These plans are very flexible, so once you master a concept, you can move on to another. These tutors are adept at quickly identifying your strengths and weaknesses to ensure that all tutoring sessions are efficient and effective.
Sessions can be scheduled to take place when, where, and at the frequency that best suits your needs. If you have a family, job, extracurricular activities, or other responsibilities, you can arrange tutoring sessions whenever you need them. You can request to meet up after sports practice at a local restaurant, or simply have your tutor come to your home once the school day is done. You can also request online sessions, or a combination of online and face-to-face meetings.
When you need extra help in constitutional law, it's best to work with a professional tutor who has been in your shoes. Call Varsity Tutors today to get connected with a constitutional law tutor in your area!

Recent Constitutional Law Tutoring Session Notes
Moved into the topics of momentum, impulses, momentum conservation, and collisions (both inelastic and elastic). In addition to covering problems focusing on each of these topics, we also covered some more integrative problems, as the girls seemed to be struggling with these types of questions on the homework. We will continue working on more difficult, integrative problems on this coming Thursday, and then we will move on to other topics such as heat, thermodynamics, waves, and fluid mechanics.
Review of addition and subtraction of sin, cos, and tan, and double angle identities. Student is doing extremely well with the material now, though he still needs to be reminded to take his time. Since I'm confident in his ability to understand the material, I am going to start working on shortcuts with him.
For the first half of our session, the student and I talked about poetry. We discussed the characteristics of a poem, and then she read a poem about butterflies. After she'd read it, she summarized it verbally and then answered some multiple choice and short answer questions. She had a bit of trouble on the "compare and contrast" question, so we will continue to work on that skill. For the second half of our session, we worked on multiplication. We did five times tests, and she gradually improved with each of them. In between each test, we did verbal reviews of tricky facts, and I made her find and identify her own errors in each test. For her last test, she completed 50 problems in under two minutes, which is our goal! She is definitely getting better each week!
The student and I quickly went over the science portion of his ACT test. He was glad to have scored a 29 on this one and a 28 on the previous one. We then spent the remainder of the session on math.
We reviewed chapter 16 in preparation for the student's chapter test later this week. We focused on reviewing the material from section 16.3 since the student and I had not finished going over that together yet. We emphasized the difference between finding a probability and finding an expected value. We compared these two processes graphically and algebraically.
The student and I finished reviewing the SAT practice she had completed for the last session and went through her score report. By far, math is the subject in which she could make the most improvement, so we decided to focus this session entirely on math. We focused heavily on the strategy of guessing versus leaving answers blank. We also discussed how to get started on problems that seem impossible at first by looking at what the question is asking for, finding the formula that would get you to that answer, and looking for how to find the values of the variables in that formula.
