Bar Exam MEE & MPT Tutor for Foreign-Trained Lawyers

Elena D.

Hi, and thank you for visiting my profile! I’ve studied law in three different jurisdictions and earned an LL.M. in American Legal System, graduating cum laude. Along the way, I gained practical courtroom experience as a U.S. pro se litigator, drafting motions, complaints, and appeals in both federal and state courts. This combination of international study and real practice helps me explain the bar exam in a way that is clear, practical, and easy to follow.

I focus only on the MEE and MPT, since that’s where most LL.M. students and foreign-trained lawyers struggle. The challenge is usually not legal knowledge, but adjusting to the format and style examiners expect. Even finals in U.S. law schools differ drastically from the MEE and MPT — professors may reward long analysis or creative arguments, but bar exam graders want concise, structured answers that spot issues and apply rules quickly under strict time limits.

For the MEE (essays), I’ll help you outline efficiently, spot all relevant issues in minutes, and apply black-letter law directly to the facts. We’ll practice the IRAC model until it becomes second nature, so your writing is examiner-ready without wasting time polishing. I also teach you how to phrase rule applications quickly and in different ways, so you always have something strong to write even if you don’t recall a rule word-for-word.

For the MPT (performance test), I’ll guide you step by step in handling the file and library, identifying key arguments, and drafting professional-quality documents within the strict time limit. By mastering these methods, you’ll not only improve your MEE and MPT scores but also strengthen your overall UBE performance, since the same skills in issue recognition and efficient application carry over to the MBE.

I also work with students in English, German, and Russian, which allows me to explain complex legal ideas in a way that feels accessible and clear.
