Sharon
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
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. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
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!
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
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 Texas Bar Exam has a pass rate around 75-80%, with first-time test-takers from accredited law schools typically performing better than repeat test-takers. Common challenges include insufficient time management during the exam, weak performance on specific subjects like evidence or professional responsibility, inadequate practice with the Texas-specific format and multiple-choice questions, and difficulty applying multi-step legal reasoning under pressure. Many candidates underestimate how much the Texas exam emphasizes practical application over pure memorization, which requires targeted preparation strategies that go beyond general bar review courses.
Bar review courses provide comprehensive material coverage for thousands of students simultaneously, which means they can't adapt to your individual weak spots. Personalized tutoring from tutors experienced with the Texas Bar focuses on your specific gaps—whether that's struggling with the essay portion, multiple-choice strategy, or particular subjects where you consistently miss questions. Tutors work with you to diagnose why you're making errors, develop targeted study plans, and practice high-leverage strategies specific to how Texas tests material. This individualized approach typically accelerates improvement for repeat test-takers and helps first-time test-takers maximize their score potential.
The ideal timing depends on your situation. If you're preparing for your first attempt, many candidates benefit from tutoring during their bar review period to get personalized guidance on applying concepts and managing exam anxiety. If you're retaking the exam, starting tutoring earlier is typically more effective—ideally 2-3 months before your test date—so you have time to identify specific weaknesses and rebuild your strategy. Some candidates use tutoring before bar review enrollment to assess their readiness or target foundational gaps, then continue through review. Tutors can help you determine the best timeline based on your background, previous results if applicable, and target score.
The best Texas Bar Exam tutors have recent bar exam experience, understand Texas-specific exam nuances and scoring rubrics, and can diagnose exactly why you're missing questions rather than just re-teaching material. Look for someone who understands both the essay and multiple-choice sections, can teach practical time-management strategies, and has experience with your particular challenge areas. They should be able to explain not just what the law is, but how Texas tests it and how to efficiently apply it under time pressure. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who combine deep subject expertise with proven teaching ability and can customize their approach to your learning style and goals.
Improvement varies based on your starting point and how you apply tutoring. First-time test-takers often see significant gains by strengthening weak subjects and developing essay-writing strategy—typically 5-15 point increases in scaled scores. Repeat test-takers frequently improve more substantially by fundamentally changing their approach and targeting specific essay or multiple-choice vulnerabilities. The key predictor of success is consistent practice between tutoring sessions and openness to changing study strategies. Most candidates see meaningful improvement within 4-8 weeks of focused, personalized tutoring combined with regular practice exams and targeted review.
Effective Texas Bar Exam preparation addresses both sections because they test different skills and together account for your final score. The essay portion (worth 50% of your score) requires applying Texas law to complex fact patterns and communicating your analysis clearly—skills that benefit from personalized feedback and practice. The multiple-choice section (50% of your score) demands quick pattern recognition, strategic elimination, and understanding common Texas-specific traps. Many candidates are strong in one area but weak in the other. Tutors can evaluate your performance on both sections and create a balanced study plan, or focus intensively on whichever section is holding back your overall score.
Yes. Many test-takers struggle with particular subjects because they're either heavily tested on the Texas Bar in ways they didn't expect, or they find the material conceptually difficult. Evidence, professional responsibility, and civil procedure are frequent challenge areas. A tutor focused on your weak subjects can break down the most highly-tested concepts, show you how Texas exam questions target specific rules, and give you concentrated practice on the areas where you're losing points. This targeted approach is much more efficient than trying to strengthen everything equally, and it's particularly valuable for subjects that require understanding subtle distinctions or applying rules to complex scenarios.
