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
Montana bar candidates typically struggle most with the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) sections, which require quick analysis and application of common law principles across unfamiliar fact patterns. The Montana-specific component—testing knowledge of state constitutional law, civil procedure rules, and local court practices—also trips up candidates who haven't thoroughly studied Montana's unique procedural requirements. Additionally, time management across all sections combined with the pressure of a high-stakes exam often causes otherwise well-prepared candidates to underperform on specific topics.
Bar review courses provide comprehensive outlines and lectures covering all tested material, but they treat every student the same way. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction identifies your specific weak areas—whether that's property law, the MPT format, or time management—and creates a targeted study plan that focuses your limited prep time where it matters most. A tutor can also provide immediate feedback on practice essays, help you recognize why you're missing MBE questions, and adjust explanations based on how you learn best, rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
Expert Montana Bar Exam tutors should have recent, successful bar passage experience in Montana and familiarity with both the MBE and Montana-specific testing requirements. They should be able to assess your current knowledge level, identify your specific weak spots through practice test analysis, and explain complex legal concepts clearly. Look for tutors who stay current with any Montana Supreme Court Rule changes that might affect the exam, understand the particular format of Montana's essay questions, and can provide structured feedback on your performance rather than just reviewing material with you.
Since the MBE typically comprises a significant portion of your total bar exam score, most successful candidates spend roughly 40-50% of their study time on MBE practice and review, with the remaining time split between Montana essays and the MPT. However, the right balance depends on your individual strengths and weaknesses—if essays are particularly challenging for you, that percentage should shift. Personalized instruction helps you determine the optimal breakdown for your situation by analyzing your practice test results and identifying where you're losing the most points.
Most bar candidates study for 8-10 weeks full-time or 3-4 months part-time, typically beginning after law school finals or after receiving a graduation date. However, your specific timeline depends on your law school performance, gaps in foundational knowledge, and how much time you can dedicate daily. Candidates who struggled with particular subjects in law school may need to start earlier or allocate more intensive study time. A tutor can help you create a realistic preparation schedule based on your starting point and help you adjust it as your practice test scores improve.
Montana bar essays require concise, well-organized analysis using proper IRAC format while addressing state-specific law and procedure. The biggest improvement comes from writing under timed conditions, getting feedback on your analysis and organization, then rewriting to incorporate that feedback—this retrieval practice helps cement both the law and the writing structure. Personalized instruction is particularly valuable here since a tutor can mark exactly where your legal analysis breaks down, whether your issue identification is too broad or narrow, and how to structure your answer more persuasively, then guide you through revision until the improvements stick.
Montana's bar passage rate fluctuates but typically hovers around 70-75% for first-time test-takers, meaning roughly one in four candidates don't pass on their first attempt—a costly delay in beginning legal practice. Personalized tutoring increases your odds by ensuring you don't have hidden knowledge gaps, providing targeted practice on your weak areas, and building test-day confidence through structured feedback and strategy coaching. Rather than hoping you're prepared, you'll have concrete evidence through practice test analysis and a tutor's assessment of whether you're truly ready to sit for the exam.
