Bio

The Bar Exam is a difficult test which forces you to delay your career while you await results. Many of the Large companies promote their programs and have students watch videos and complete repetitive tasks, but leave you hanging if you do not completely grasp the concept within the topic. My job is to make sure you can grasp that concept, while teaching personalized lessons tailored to YOU, while avoiding the one size all approach.

The Bar Exam is a difficult test which forces you to delay your career while you await results. Many of the Large companies promote their programs and have students watch videos and complete repetitive tasks, but leave you hanging if you do not completely grasp the concept within the topic. My job is to make sure you can grasp that concept, while teaching personalized lessons tailored to YOU, while avoiding the one size all approach.
I am a Three-time Bar passer in Indiana, Illinois, and District of Columbia. I have been tutoring for over 6+ years, with my students being admitted to their respective State Bars after completing tutoring with me.
I graduated Law School and completed an LLM program after that. Prior to receiving my Juris Doctor, I obtained my Master's in Clinical Psychology. I worked several years as a substitute teacher, working with students ranging from 4th grade thru college. These experiences have allowed me to analyze behaviors which may be hindering a student’s ability to pass.
My approach with tutoring focuses on analyzing the students’ strengths and weaknesses and tailoring a program that will maximize the points. Each student requires something different and I work to make sure to correct minor issues such as timing and memory retention, while also covering Subject gaps from classes the student may not have taken during Law School.
If you have any questions or are struggling to get over the Hump that is the bar exam, feel free to contact me. Not only can we discover what your weaknesses are, but also look at past exam data and correspond it into your lesson so that we can get the points you need to pass.

A Transformative Tutoring Experience

Adam has all the essential qualities of a great tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable about the material, can quickly diagnose weak spots, and teaches the concepts in a way that makes it easy to understand and effectively communicate in an essay format. Most importantly, he helps alleviate much of the anxiety that exists going into the bar exam. He provided me with a clear, strategic approach that allowed me to quickly issue spot the relevant legal doctrines and apply them efficiently, leaving me time to craft thoughtful, well-organized essays. He shared practical techniques that helped me craft essays in a way that would resonate with bar exam graders. I went from feeling uncertain about tackling the MEE to feeling confident and prepared. I highly recoomend.

More than a tutor. A true partner in success!

My daughter was quickly approaching her third attempt at the bar exam. With just under a month left, there was no time to waste. I knew in my heart she had not yet found the right person to help her take everything she had learned and apply it. As I searched through profiles, I came across Adam. He was not just rattling off statistics or promoting a one-size-fits-all formula. He had a clear strategy, and I knew he was exactly the person we needed. That strategy was simple. He got to know her. He took the time to assess what she already knew, where her weak points were, and what she feared most. Then they got right to work. I could not tell you what she did or did not know since I never went to law school. What I could say was that I watched my daughter grow more confident with each passing day. I saw the pressure that had been crushing her begin to lift, and for the first time since studying for the bar, I saw her enjoying learning the law again. There are many programs out there for bar students to choose from. The difference was Adam. He tailored his lessons to her needs and gave her exactly what she needed to succeed.

Highly recommend!!!

I reached out to Adam just three weeks before the bar exam, and I’m so glad I did. Despite the tight timeline, he was incredibly flexible with scheduling and made every session count. He quickly figured out what I needed to focus on and helped me lock in on the most important material. He made complex topics easier to understand by using real-life examples, and honestly made learning way more enjoyable. Adam was supportive throughout the entire process and really helped boost my confidence going into the exam. Highly recommend!!!

A great tutor

This is my second tutoring session with Adam; he helped me while in law school to improve my legal writing grade. This time, to help me pass the MPRE. I appreciate the tutor session with him. He is helpful and knowledgeable, and also will tell you where you need to improve so you can work on that issue.

PASSED ON FIRST ATTEMPT!

I became worried during Themis prep when the graders were giving me low scores (1s and 2s) on the essays. So, I decided to hire Adam to help me with essays. Adam quickly identified my problem with essays and taught me his method to approach the MEE. I used this method on my remaining graded essays and received 4s and 5s, and of course on the bar where I passed. Adam didn’t just teach me how to fix my MEEs, throughout my lessons with him he would make sure I knew heavily tested rule statements, and pushed me to practice essays on topics I was less familiar with. He is a smart, fun, and knowledgeable tutor and I would highly recommend him to make your bar a one and done!

Adam has tutored me for Bar prep and has always demonstrated a sharp knowledge of the material, a deep understanding of the nuances of legal rules, and a willingness to explain when things seem incomprehensible. Adam has always been a great model of professionalism and cordiality, and I cannot recommend his services enough to help with preparing for the bar exam!

Great Tutor

Adam does a great job breaking down bar review concepts and answering my questions while working through the material. He is very knowledgeable on all bar topics. He tailors his lessons to my individual strengths and weaknesses and uses real life examples to make lessons more interesting. He makes sure to explain things clearly and his examples are awesome. Adam is also flexible and very accommodating.

Look no further if you want the best tutor!!!

Adam is incredible. I have worked with other tutors, and no one compares to Adam. Not only is he intelligent, but he is genuinely invested in his students' success. I'm a bar exam retaker, and his study method is perfectly curated for me to pass the NY MBE this time around. For example, I'm really into pop culture and he keeps me on my toes with his relevant examples and hypos throughout our sessions. He's a great tutor and a great guy. 11/10; highly recommend.
