Bar Exam

I'm an experienced lawyer who has assisted numerous friends in achieving passing scores on the CA Bar Exam. I took my first student on in the fall of 2017 following the July 2017 Bar - I spent 5-10 hours per week (both in-person time, and over the phone or email) discussing the exam with him, organizing a study plan tailored to his needs, researching and developing additional tools and materials to be used, and reviewing substance (individual subjects) that appear on the Bar, as well as advising him on essay-writing (his weakness), developing strong rule statements, and then providing feedback on progress made in practice essays, all of which lead to a passing score on the Feb. 2018 exam! My next round of students began in the spring of 2018, to prepare for the July 2018 exam - both of them were great writers who had success on Bar essays but identified the MBE multiple choice section as their problem area. To address this, I spent about 5-10 hours per week (in person and over the phone or email) reviewing each bar subject and helping them understand why they miss certain questions, and motivating them to adjust their perspective to see that success on the MBE is possible - it's just a matter of information-intake and knowing a certain level of detail about the law, and spending many hours practicing answering these types of questions in timed and untimed settings; I'm proud to say both students utilized these skills and passed the July 2018 exam!
