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.

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

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 West Virginia Bar Exam tests knowledge across multiple subjects, but most candidates struggle with the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and managing time across the full exam format. Many test-takers find the essay portion particularly demanding because it requires both deep substantive knowledge and the ability to write persuasive, well-organized answers under time pressure. Contract law, civil procedure, and evidence also frequently trip up candidates who haven't thoroughly mastered the foundational principles. Personalized tutoring helps you identify your specific weak spots and develop targeted strategies to address them before exam day.
Bar prep courses follow a set curriculum for all students, whereas personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts to your learning pace, learning style, and specific gaps. A tutor working with you individually can spend extra time on topics where you're struggling, skip content you've already mastered, and use teaching methods that work best for your brain—whether that's practice problems, Socratic questioning, or essay writing and review. You'll also get customized feedback on practice essays and exams, not generic explanations. This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress and greater confidence going into the exam.
An effective West Virginia Bar Exam tutor should have passed the bar themselves and have deep, current knowledge of West Virginia-specific law and the exam format. They should be skilled at breaking down complex legal concepts into clear explanations, creating practice problems tailored to your weak areas, and providing constructive feedback on your writing. Look for someone who understands not just the law, but also test-taking strategy—how to manage time, spot issues quickly, and structure answers to maximize points. Varsity Tutors connects you with experienced tutors who combine legal expertise with strong teaching ability and a track record of helping students succeed.
Most bar candidates spend 2-3 months in focused preparation, though the timeline depends on your background, how much time you can dedicate weekly, and how prepared you are when you start. Law school graduates typically need less foundational instruction than career changers, so personalized tutoring can be more efficient—a tutor can skip concepts you already know well and concentrate on gaps. Some candidates benefit from tutoring support throughout their bar prep, while others use it strategically to tackle specific problem areas for 4-6 weeks. Your tutor will help you develop a realistic timeline and study plan based on where you're starting from.
Yes, essay writing is one area where personalized tutoring delivers significant results. A tutor can teach you the IRAC structure (Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion) specific to West Virginia law, help you spot issues quickly in fact patterns, and give you detailed feedback on every practice essay you write. They'll show you how to prioritize issues, write concisely under time pressure, and avoid common mistakes that cost points. Many students improve dramatically once they get feedback on their actual writing rather than just reading about essay technique. Regular practice essays combined with constructive, individual feedback is one of the fastest ways to boost your essay performance before exam day.
Many successful bar candidates combine a comprehensive prep course with personalized tutoring for targeted support. You might use a prep course for the breadth of content coverage, then work with a tutor to dive deeper into subjects where you're scoring below your target or struggling to retain information. A tutor can also help you work through practice exams and MPT questions more strategically, identifying patterns in what you're missing. Some students find it helpful to have their tutor review their prep course materials and practice work to ensure they're studying effectively and not just passively consuming content. The tutor becomes your accountability partner and expert guide during the most intensive preparation phase.
Consistent progress tracking keeps you motivated and highlights what's working. Track your scores on full-length practice exams and individual subject area quizzes, take notes on which topics you're mastering and which still need work, and measure your essay scores against the grading rubric used on the actual exam. A tutor can help you set specific, measurable goals—for example, reaching a target score on contracts essays by a certain date, or improving your MPT performance by 10 points. Regular check-ins with your tutor, combined with practice test scores, give you concrete data about your readiness and help you adjust your study plan if needed. This data-driven approach removes guesswork and builds confidence as you see measurable improvement.
