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

Kansas bar exam candidates most frequently struggle with Evidence, Civil Procedure, and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) components. Evidence requires mastery of complex rule applications and exceptions that many test-takers find counterintuitive, while Civil Procedure demands precise knowledge of Kansas-specific procedural rules alongside federal standards. The MPT—which tests practical lawyering skills through document-heavy scenarios—challenges candidates who haven't practiced synthesizing large amounts of information under time pressure. Additionally, many candidates underestimate the Kansas-specific essay questions, which test knowledge of state law that differs from the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) content, particularly in areas like family law and real property.

The Kansas bar exam is roughly 50% MBE (200 questions covering multistate law) and 50% essays and performance tests focused on Kansas law and practical skills. Most candidates benefit from front-loading MBE preparation to build foundational multistate knowledge, then shifting focus to Kansas-specific essays in the final 4-6 weeks. This approach works because strong MBE performance demonstrates command of core legal principles, while Kansas essays require deeper state-specific preparation. A tutor can help you identify which multistate topics overlap with Kansas law and which require entirely different study strategies, ensuring you don't waste time on redundant preparation.

The Kansas bar exam compresses significant content into a single day, requiring candidates to write three 30-minute essays and complete one 90-minute MPT while also performing well on the MBE. Many test-takers underestimate how quickly time disappears when writing under pressure, leading to incomplete essays or rushed analysis that loses points for missing elements. The MPT particularly trips up candidates who haven't practiced managing document review, issue spotting, and writing within strict time constraints. Personalized tutoring helps you develop realistic practice routines that simulate exam conditions, identify your personal speed bottlenecks, and build strategies for prioritizing which issues to address when time runs short.

An excellent Kansas bar exam tutor must be licensed to practice law in Kansas and have recent, successful bar exam experience—ideally having passed within the last 5-10 years so their knowledge of current exam format and question types is current. Beyond bar passage, look for tutors with demonstrated expertise in the specific areas you struggle with, whether that's Evidence, the MPT, or Kansas-specific substantive law. The best tutors have experience teaching multiple bar candidates, understand common failure patterns, and can explain complex legal concepts in accessible ways rather than simply reviewing black letter law. They should also be familiar with the specific format and timing of the Kansas bar exam, including the unique structure of Kansas essay questions and how they differ from other states' exams.

The MPT is fundamentally different from essay writing because it tests your ability to perform a specific lawyering task (drafting a memo, contract, brief, etc.) within 90 minutes using unfamiliar source materials. Many candidates fail the MPT not from lack of legal knowledge but from poor document organization, missing the assignment's actual task, or running out of time. A tutor can teach you the systematic approach to MPT success: quickly identifying the task, organizing source materials, spotting relevant issues, and structuring your response efficiently. They can also provide targeted feedback on your drafts, helping you understand where you're losing points—whether it's incomplete analysis, poor organization, or misunderstanding what the hypothetical client actually needs.

Kansas essays often test deeper state-specific law and expect candidates to apply Kansas statutory provisions and case law rather than relying solely on multistate principles. Kansas essay questions frequently require you to address multiple parties and complex fact patterns where the relevant law isn't immediately obvious, testing your ability to research and synthesize state law under pressure. Additionally, Kansas values clear issue spotting and thorough analysis of each party's position, with less tolerance for conclusory statements than some other state exams. A tutor familiar with Kansas bar essays can help you understand the state's specific grading rubrics, show you examples of high-scoring responses, and coach you on how to structure answers that demonstrate the depth of Kansas law knowledge graders expect.

Kansas's bar exam pass rate typically hovers around 75-80% for first-time test-takers, which is slightly below the national average. This suggests that while most prepared candidates pass, a meaningful percentage struggle—often due to gaps in Kansas-specific law, weak MPT performance, or poor time management rather than overall legal knowledge. Understanding this context helps you recognize that bar exam preparation isn't just about studying harder, but studying smarter with targeted focus on your weaknesses. Personalized tutoring helps you identify whether you're in the at-risk category early enough to adjust your strategy, ensuring you don't become part of the group that needs to retake the exam.

Most candidates benefit from 8-12 weeks of focused bar exam preparation, though this varies based on your law school performance and how recently you studied relevant subjects. Many candidates start with self-study using bar prep courses, then bring in a tutor around week 4-6 when they've identified specific weak areas or realize they're falling behind their study schedule. Others benefit from tutoring earlier if they struggled with certain subjects in law school or want personalized guidance on the Kansas-specific components from the start. The ideal timing depends on your baseline knowledge and learning style—a tutor can help you create a realistic study timeline, identify which topics need the most attention, and adjust your approach if you're not seeing improvement in practice test scores.
