Hank is the Best!

I can't recommend Hank highly enough! I found Hank when I was attempting to take the bar exam for the fourth time. From the beginning, he took the time to understand my specific needs and tailored our sessions to make sure I was getting exactly what I needed to succeed on the bar exam. He was incredibly helpful with all components of the exam—MBE, MEE, and MPT—and always came prepared with clear strategies, thoughtful feedback, and practical tips that actually made a difference. What really stood out was how responsive and supportive he was throughout the process. Whenever I was struggling with a concept or a particular essay style, he’d break it down in a way that made it manageable. His feedback was always constructive, detailed, and encouraging, which helped me steadily improve and build confidence. Thanks to his guidance, I felt much more prepared going into the exam. If you’re looking for a tutor who genuinely cares and knows how to get results, he’s the one. Not only did I pass but score improved by 30 points!

Effective and supportive

Hank was incredible to work with. He narrowed in on exactly what I needed to work on for the Bar Exam as a re-taker. He is direct and understands how to get to the root issue to improve. He holds you accountable but was always available for any road blocks you struggle with. I would recommend Hank to everyone who is struggling to pass the bar or in law school.

GREAT Tutor!!

It was a great first lesson!! Hank was very helpful and laid the foundation well for our time together. After my lesson, I took a quick quiz and that one lesson alone helped me do really well on my quiz. I am excited to see the improvements along the way. He is patient and explains things in a fashion that is easy to understand and retain.

Excellent Tutor!

As a repeat test taker the Bar exam had drained me physically and emotionally. I began to second guess myself and if I even wanted to continue to pursue this dream. I knew I need something different and that is when I found Hank. It was the best this that had happened to me in recent years. Hank is an extremely thorough and caring teacher/coach. He will give you all the tools you need to perform at your best on the big testing days. Hank was always available and very responsive with any questions I may have had. He prepares you for the material for the bar exam but also tips and tricks to prepare your body for the testing days. I did 10 session with Hank and they were well worth it. I just received my final scores and I finally passed the Bar exam. I owe it all to Hank.

Hank has been very helpful in our sessions and email consultations

Hank and I held our first full session on Jan. 5. We reviewed several essays I submitted to him, and he gave me helpful feedback. It was a very productive session.

Hank is the best!

As a repeat test taker, I knew I needed to do something different. I looked for a tutor who could supplement the Themis course I was taking simultaneously. I am so glad I found Hank. He helped immensely by showing me how to properly construct a passing bar exam essay answer. He gave me valuable tips and strategies throughout the summer regarding studying methods, understanding the exam itself, and how to pace my studying. He answered every single question I had in our sessions and through text even when we weren't in session. Hank also went over difficult MBE questions and scenarios at the end of each session, ones in which the bar examiners try to trick you. I feel much more confident in my abilities to tackle this exam and I owe a lot of it to Hank. I highly recommend Hank to anyone who is looking for a great tutor!

Excellent coach & mentor!!!

If you are looking for a great bar review tutor, look no further! You will not regret hiring Hank! He is super knowledgeable, motivational, & thorough. He really cares about his students. I feel very confident going into the bar exam next week due to all of his help! He has helped me raise my practice exam scores by over 15% and has really helped me hone in on the subject matter that needed some work! He is approachable, available, & passionate! There are really not enough good things I can say about him! He has been worth every penny! For him it’s not about the money. You can tell he has a definite passion for teaching and a passion for the law. Thanks to Hank I honestly feel like this will be my last time to have to take the bar.

Excellent tutor!

I am about to take my Civil Procedure and Evidence finals. I contacted Hank, last minute, to go over the subjects of the exams. Hank answered all of my questions and resolved all of my issues. Hank is knowledgeable and friendly and in two hours he gave me a roadmap to take my law school finals. Thank you!

Excellent tutor!

Hank has been great to work with. I needed help with my graduate school applications and he gave me pointed advice on how to improve the stylistic voice of my essays. He's been super flexible and always got back to me with great suggestions and advice for making improvements within 24 hours. Would highly recommend for anyone seeking help with their personal statements!

Great coach!

Even if you're paying for a bar review that includes coaching ... I STRONGLY recommend that you include Hank in your game plan for additional knowledge, increased accountability, functional strategies, and the personalized approach you actually need during an avoidably stressful period. The additional money is marginal based on what Hank offers by giving you the best opportunity to never have to take the bar again.
