Bio

As a 99th percentile Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) scorer and practicing federal attorney, I specialize in helping future attorneys conquer the bar exam with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

As a 99th percentile Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) scorer and practicing federal attorney, I specialize in helping future attorneys conquer the bar exam with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

I understand how overwhelming bar prep can be—whether you're taking the exam for the first time or retaking it. My goal is to demystify the process, break down the law into manageable pieces, and teach you how to approach the exam like a disciplined thinker, not just a memorizer.

I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Amherst with a B.A. in Political Science and earned my J.D. from Boston College Law School. Since then, I’ve been practicing law with the federal government, while dedicating my time outside of work to helping aspiring lawyers succeed.

My bar exam tutoring is highly personalized. I tailor each session to your strengths, weaknesses, and learning style—whether you’re struggling with MBE multiple-choice questions, essay writing (MEE), or performance tests (MPT). I teach you how to spot patterns, manage time, and apply legal reasoning under pressure. I’ve worked with students from a wide range of law schools, and I understand that everyone’s bar prep journey is different.

Beyond the bar exam, I also offer support to law students and new attorneys navigating the early stages of their careers. I have experience in all aspects of legal recruiting, including pre-OCI strategy, on-campus interviewing, and application prep. I work closely with clients on interview preparation, resume writing, and professional development, helping them find direction and build confidence in a competitive industry.

If you're ready to take control of your bar prep or legal career, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Bar Exam

Bar Exam

I am a licensed attorney practicing with the federal government and scored in the 99th percentile on the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). I work with both first-time takers and repeat candidates to help them pass the bar exam with confidence through efficient, results-driven preparation. My approach focuses on highly tested topics, strategic test-taking techniques, and personalized study plans that target individual weaknesses on the MBE, MEE, and performance tests. As a practicing attorney, I bring a deep understanding of bar exam content, real-world legal analysis, and the mindset needed to succeed under pressure. Whether you're aiming to pass on your first try or overcome a previous attempt, I offer structured, supportive guidance to help you master the material, sharpen your exam skills, and walk into test day fully prepared.
Career Development

Career Development

I specialize in career development with a focus on law school recruiting, drawing from direct experience working with both corporate law firms and government agencies. This dual perspective has given me a nuanced understanding of the hiring processes, timelines, and candidate priorities across different sectors of the legal industry. I’ve advised law students on every stage of the recruiting process, with particular emphasis on crafting effective OCI strategies—from employer research and bid ranking to interview preparation and follow-up. I’m passionate about helping students present their strengths authentically and strategically, and I take pride in demystifying the legal recruiting process so they can move forward with confidence. My approach is practical, informed, and grounded in real-world insight into how legal employers make hiring decisions.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I bring deep experience in college counseling with a focus on law school admissions, guiding students through the entire application process with clarity and strategy. From helping them identify target schools and craft compelling personal statements to navigating LSAC procedures and managing deadlines, I provide support that is both practical and personalized. I also advise on financial aid, including how to evaluate scholarship offers, apply for need-based assistance, and understand the long-term financial implications of a legal education. My goal is to empower students to make informed, confident decisions about their law school journey by demystifying the process and offering honest, individualized guidance at every stage.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

As a Legal Writing tutor specializing in bar exam preparation, I help students sharpen their essay skills for the MEE and MPT by mastering structured, time-efficient writing. I focus on using the IRAC method to clearly organize answers—ensuring strong issue spotting, precise rule statements, focused analysis, and logical conclusions. My approach is tailored to what bar exam graders want to see: clarity, structure, and substance under pressure. Whether you're aiming to improve your organization, strengthen your legal analysis, or raise your writing score, I provide detailed feedback and practical strategies to help you succeed.
Grammar

Grammar

As a Legal Grammar tutor, I help law students and bar exam takers elevate their written communication by focusing on grammar, clarity, and precision—skills essential for both bar exam success and legal job applications. I provide detailed feedback on bar exam essays (MEE/MPT) to ensure that grammar and sentence structure enhance, rather than hinder, legal analysis. In the law school recruiting context, I work with students to polish resumes, cover letters, and writing samples so they present professionally and effectively. Strong grammar is not just about correctness—it’s about making a confident, credible impression in every written interaction.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

As a Legal Interview Prep coach with deep experience in law school recruiting, I help students and early-career attorneys navigate the competitive legal job market with confidence and clarity. I provide targeted coaching for pre-OCI, OCI, and callback interviews, drawing on firsthand knowledge of what legal employers are looking for. From crafting compelling responses to behavioral and substantive questions to refining your narrative and presence, I prepare clients to stand out in high-stakes legal interviews. Whether you're aiming for BigLaw, government, or public interest roles, I tailor my guidance to your goals and the realities of legal hiring.

Literature

Literature

As a Literature Tutor with a background in legal education, I help students strengthen their reading comprehension, analytical thinking, and writing—skills that are foundational to both bar exam success and law school recruiting. On the bar exam, particularly the MBE and MPT, the ability to quickly interpret complex texts and extract key meaning is essential. My literature-focused approach sharpens critical reading and analytical writing, helping students perform under pressure and communicate effectively. I also support candidates in crafting thoughtful, well-structured personal statements and writing samples that reflect both clarity and depth—essential for competitive legal hiring.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

Public speaking has been a central part of my professional life, developed through years of experience as both a practicing attorney and an elected official. In the courtroom, I’ve presented arguments, examined witnesses, and delivered statements before judges and juries—building the ability to speak clearly, persuasively, and with composure under pressure. My service in local government has further deepened this skill, as I’ve regularly addressed constituents, led public meetings, and spoken on legal and policy issues in a variety of public forums. These experiences have taught me how to tailor my message to different audiences, think on my feet, and communicate with both authority and approachability. Public speaking is not just a professional tool for me—it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a craft I continually work to refine.
Spelling

Spelling

As a Spelling Tutor, I help law students and bar exam candidates eliminate spelling errors that can undermine otherwise strong legal writing. On the bar exam—especially the MEE and MPT—accurate spelling contributes to clarity, professionalism, and overall credibility in the eyes of graders. I also assist with proofreading resumes, cover letters, and writing samples during law school recruiting, ensuring polished, error-free materials that reflect attention to detail. Strong spelling may seem small, but in high-stakes legal contexts, it can make a lasting impression.

Whether you're just beginning your bar prep or looking to refine your strategy, I offer structured, results-driven guidance tailored to your needs.

A Game-Changing Bar Prep Experience with Alexandre

I cannot recommend Alexandre highly enough as a bar exam tutor! We recently completed a 10-hour bar prep marathon together, and it was one of the most effective and well-structured study sessions I’ve had throughout my preparation. During the session, we prioritized and reviewed key information for the UBE, tackling each component—MBE, MEE, and MPT—with intention and clarity. Alexandre not only guided me through realistic practice questions that simulated test-day conditions, but also provided thorough, constructive feedback on my performance. His insights helped me identify my strengths and pinpoint specific areas where I could improve, which has already made a noticeable difference in how I study and retain information. What sets Alexandre apart is his ability to balance intensity with encouragement. His approach kept me focused, motivated, and confident throughout a long day of work. I’ll definitely continue to work with him as I move forward with my bar prep. If you’re serious about passing the bar, Alexandre is the tutor you want in your corner!
