My name is Rana and I am an attorney licensed in California. I am also a Law School Professor and have worked in bar pass and academic support for 11 years. I teach Real Property, Procedure, Intro to US Legal studies, legal writing and bar exam classes on the MPT, MEE and MBEs. I have worked with thousands of students from all backgrounds including: first time takers, repeat takers, attorney applicants and LLM applicants. Although licensed in California, I am very familiar with the UBE as well and would be happy to provide references upon request.

What to expect when you contact me: I will schedule a free 30 min phone/zoom call. During this call, I will ask questions to determine what you are looking for. If you are retaking the exam, I will review your scores so I can give you a game plan. During this call, I will explain how I would approach us working together. I don't offer a cookie cutter approach to bar tutor and will be honest with you on what I can realistically offer you.

I will not pressure you to schedule multiple sessions a week. While that may seem counterintuitive, my job is to access strengths and areas of weakness and give you the tools/guidance to use them by yourself. Many times students want to be perfect. It's impossible to be perfect and luckily you don't need to be in order to pass the exam. The bar is looking for "minimum competence" and I can show you what that looks like on each part.

In my teaching evaluations, I frequently get told that I am honest, patient and knowledgeable. My students tell me that I help them feel supported and can break down complicated topics (like freehold estates...eek!..) in a way that makes sense to them.

Contact me for more information or to schedule a consultation!

I wish you the best of luck!

In addition to having worked for bar review companies and generated practice material, I also teach bar preparation classes at my former law school. Each week we go over at least one topic that is tested on the bar and apply it to the essays. We also review approaches and tactics for the MBE and performance test portion of the exam.

Incredible tutor!

I began my tutoring sessions with Rana several months prior to the Bar Exam. At that time with regards to the exam I was nervous, fearful, and lacked confidence in my abilities to succeed on the exam. Rana's guidance and expertise prepared me step-by-step for the exam allowing me to navigate through each stage of the exam. The material for the Bar Exam is vast. Rana prepared me for each MBE subject, multiple choice and essay strategies, as well as specific topics related to the Florida Multiple Choice Section. Rana's expertise and teaching methods were exceptional ensuring that I understood every aspect of the material we covered. With each tutoring session, my confidence grew and I felt more prepared and optimistic about the exam. As a result of Rana's guidance, I not only passed the exam but I achieved a score far beyond my imagination. I am incredibly grateful to Rana for her incredible assistance and would highly recommend her to all students.

Amazing at explaining complex topics

Ms. Rana was one of my tutors while I was preparing for the bar exam. She was exceptional at helping me evaluate complex material and develop effective strategies for answering questions—skills that were essential to my success on the bar. I passed and now practice law. Recently, I booked a session with her to get advice on developing practical legal skills, specifically for depositions. The session was excellent. She provided clear, hands-on guidance and helped me build both confidence and competence. I highly recommend Ms. Rana to anyone looking for a coach who emphasizes real-world application and provides constructive feedback throughout the process.

Very Knowledgeable

Rana was very informative on how to approach the MEE and MPT. Rana was very patient. She's also a good teacher. She was very kind, helpful, and extremely intelligent. She made me feel more confident and hopeful of success on the Bar exam.

Effective and enjoyable sessions!

Professor Rana is absolutely amazing! Her ability to provide a very focused and content packed lesson made me feel that I got a lot more value than I could have paid for. I recently took the bar exam, and was looking for a tutor to help me understand how to prepare and efficiently attack the MPT. Professor Rana explained to me how, why, and what are the approaches to attacking this portion of the exam. If you need someone that will be able to explain the how to's well, not waste your time, and also make the sessions enjoyable to attend---Professor Rana would definitely be my pick.

Knowledgeable and Outstanding Teacher

Rana B is well versed, patient and takes away the anxiety that is associated with taking the California Bar Exam. Her honesty feedback and strategic approach to mastering the essays and performance test were extremely helpful and makes studying for the bar more manageable especially for those who are working full-time.

Knowledgeable, Patient and Passionate

You can really tell that Ms. Rana is very passionate about teaching law as she walks you through the process of preparation. She already has that critical combination of academic/coaching criteria. She will immediately identify your strengths and weaknesses and provide you, accordingly, with diagnosis and an action plan. She is simply an amazing coach and a kind person too!

Wow, really good.

Rana is wonderful. She definitely has a recognizable command of doing PTs. She accommodated my work schedule. She presents herself with energy, enthusiasm, openness and empathy towards my particular needs. She is encouraging while at the same time professional. She is respectful and kind. Above all, she is instilling in me the ability and confidence to do and pass a PT.
