Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy.

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Canadian Bar Exam consists of two stages: the Multiple Choice (MC) component testing foundational legal knowledge across core subjects, and the Scenario-Based Questions (SBQs) requiring integrated application of law to fact patterns. Students typically struggle most with the SBQ section because it demands synthesizing multiple legal concepts under time pressure while identifying which rules apply to complex, multi-issue scenarios. The MC component challenges students who haven't developed efficient recall strategies for the breadth of material covered across criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, contracts, torts, and other core subjects.
While the National Bar Examination (articling students) is standardized across most provinces, Quebec's Bar Exam differs significantly in structure and content, emphasizing civil law concepts alongside common law principles. Additionally, some provinces have specific requirements around professional responsibility and conduct that vary slightly. A strong Canadian Bar tutor understands these jurisdictional differences and tailors instruction based on which provincial bar exam you're preparing for, ensuring you're not wasting time on irrelevant material while building mastery of jurisdiction-specific rules and procedures.
SBQs require you to spot multiple legal issues within complex fact patterns, apply the correct legal rules to each issue, and synthesize your analysis under strict time constraints—a skill that's fundamentally different from memorizing black-letter law. Personalized tutoring helps by having you work through authentic scenarios with immediate feedback on issue-spotting, legal reasoning, and time management, allowing tutors to identify where you're missing issues or misapplying rules. Rather than passively reading sample answers, working with a tutor means practicing the active analysis process repeatedly until you develop the pattern recognition and strategic thinking needed to excel on test day.
Time management is absolutely critical—you'll have roughly 2-3 minutes per MC question and 12-15 minutes per SBQ, leaving no room for inefficient reading or analysis. Many students lose points not from lack of knowledge but from running out of time or spending too long on lower-value questions. A Canadian Bar tutor helps you develop a strategic approach to question prioritization, teaches you how to quickly identify issue patterns, and builds your speed through repeated timed practice with real exam conditions, ensuring you can demonstrate your knowledge within the actual exam constraints.
Look for tutors who have recently passed the Canadian Bar Exam themselves (ideally within the last 3-5 years), have experience teaching bar preparation, and understand the specific exam format and content requirements for your jurisdiction. Ideally, they should have practical legal experience or articling background, as this helps them explain how theoretical concepts apply in real legal practice. Additionally, strong Canadian Bar tutors should be able to provide detailed feedback on your scenario analysis, help you develop issue-spotting strategies, and track your progress on practice questions to identify patterns in your mistakes.
Most articling students dedicate 8-12 weeks of intensive study to bar exam preparation, with tutoring typically ranging from 10-20 hours depending on your starting knowledge level and target score. Students who struggled with certain subjects during law school or who want to maximize their score often benefit from 2-3 hours of weekly tutoring combined with independent study, while others use tutoring strategically for their weakest areas. The key is that personalized tutoring accelerates your preparation by focusing your study time on genuine gaps rather than reviewing material you already know well.
You should have completed your core law school curriculum covering the subjects tested on the bar exam (criminal law, civil procedure, evidence, contracts, torts, constitutional law, etc.), as bar exam tutoring builds on foundational legal knowledge rather than teaching it from scratch. However, if you're weak in a particular subject area, a tutor can help refresh your understanding of key concepts before diving into bar-specific application strategies. The most effective tutoring happens when you've already learned the core material and need help integrating it, identifying issues efficiently, and applying it under exam conditions.
Progress is tracked through increasing accuracy on practice MC questions (aiming for 75%+ correct), improved issue-spotting on SBQs (identifying all major and minor issues within the scenario), and faster completion times while maintaining quality analysis. You should also see improvement in your ability to articulate legal reasoning clearly and concisely, as the exam rewards efficient, accurate analysis over lengthy explanations. A good benchmark is improving your practice exam scores by 5-10 percentage points over 4-6 weeks of consistent tutoring combined with independent study, with the biggest gains typically coming from mastering scenario analysis and time management strategies.
