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
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.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Alabama Bar Exam consists of the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), which includes 200 multiple-choice questions (MBE) covering seven core subjects, plus a written portion with essays and a performance test. Most students find the MBE section most challenging because it requires not just knowledge of substantive law, but the ability to quickly identify issues, apply rules across different fact patterns, and recognize common testing traps—all under strict time pressure. The essays demand precise rule statements and organized analysis, while the performance test requires practical legal skills like drafting and client counseling that many law school courses don't emphasize equally.
The MBE tests seven subjects (Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Evidence, Real Property, Torts, and Civil Procedure), and each requires a distinct strategy. Contracts and Evidence questions often hinge on recognizing subtle rule distinctions, while Criminal Law and Constitutional Law questions frequently test policy reasoning and exception-spotting. Rather than memorizing rules in isolation, effective preparation involves drilling questions by subject and analyzing why incorrect answers are tempting—understanding the test-maker's logic is often more valuable than rote memorization. A tutor can help you develop subject-specific attack plans and identify your personal weak spots across the seven areas.
Bar exam essays are graded on a much tighter rubric than law school exams—graders are looking for specific rule statements, clear issue spotting, and organized analysis, with less credit for policy arguments or creative reasoning. The performance test adds a practical layer: you might need to draft a memo, email, or contract while managing competing client interests, which requires both substantive knowledge and professional judgment. Many students underestimate how much the written sections reward clarity and structure over depth; tutoring focused on essay organization, time management (typically 30 minutes per essay), and performance test strategy can significantly improve scores in these areas.
Bar exam prep courses are one-size-fits-all, but your specific weaknesses might be in Evidence rule nuances, Real Property future interests, or Civil Procedure motion practice—areas where a tutor can pinpoint exactly where your understanding breaks down. Personalized instruction allows you to spend time on your actual problem areas rather than reviewing subjects you've already mastered, which is especially valuable in the final weeks before the exam. A tutor can also diagnose whether your struggles are conceptual (you don't understand the rule), strategic (you understand the rule but miss the issue on the test), or time-management related—each requires a different intervention.
The strongest bar exam tutors have not only passed the Alabama Bar themselves, but ideally have experience teaching bar prep or working in practice areas that align with your weak subjects. A tutor should understand the specific grading rubrics used by Alabama bar examiners and be familiar with common fact patterns and rule traps across the UBE subjects. Beyond bar passage, look for someone who can explain why certain answers are correct on MBE questions, can provide feedback on your essay organization and rule statements, and understands the time pressure and stress of bar prep—someone who has recently gone through the process themselves often brings valuable perspective on what actually works.
Most bar exam candidates benefit from 10-20 hours of focused tutoring spread across their prep period, though this varies based on your starting point and which subjects need the most work. If you're struggling with specific subjects or the written portions, tutoring in the final 4-6 weeks before the exam—when you've completed your bar prep course and are doing final review—tends to be most effective. Some students benefit from earlier tutoring to clarify foundational concepts, while others need intensive help in the final weeks to refine essay technique and MBE strategy. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on your diagnostic scores and target areas.
Improvement shows up as clearer rule statements (stating the complete rule before applying it to facts), faster issue spotting (identifying all relevant legal issues in a fact pattern), and tighter organization (IRAC structure that's easy for graders to follow). A strong indicator of progress is when you can write a passing essay in 30 minutes while hitting all major issues and rule elements—not just getting the right answer, but demonstrating the analytical process graders are looking for. You'll also notice improvement in your ability to spot red herrings and irrelevant facts, which is critical for managing time on the exam and avoiding tangential analysis that wastes precious minutes.
Many bar exam candidates struggle with the MBE's brutal time constraint—200 questions in 6 hours means roughly 1.8 minutes per question, which forces you to make quick decisions without second-guessing. A tutor can help you develop a sustainable pace by teaching you to recognize question types instantly, spot the controlling rule quickly, and avoid common time-wasters like re-reading long fact patterns or overthinking close calls between two answers. Drilling timed MBE sections with targeted feedback on which questions you're rushing versus which ones you're overthinking allows you to calibrate your speed and build confidence that you can maintain accuracy even under pressure.
