I am a foreign-educated lawyer, with a 15-year practice in Administrative and Criminal Law.

I took and passed the New York Uniform Bar Exam, New York Law Exam, and Multistate Professional Exam, all on my first take and without a US law degree of any kind. I am now fully licensed to practice in the State of New York.

In terms of writing skills, not only is my undergraduate degree in Journalism, but I have also written legal opinions, pleadings before appellate courts, investigative reports, and Resolutions/Decisions in all of my 15-year practice. I have won cases before the Philippine Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. I can help you write better for the MEE/MPT.

I love teaching people about the law and seeing younger/older individuals have the same passion for the law.

Bar Exam

I am a foreign-educated lawyer with a 15-year practice in administrative and criminal law. I want to help those who have studied law in another jurisdiction, who is now preparing to take the Uniform Bar Exam. I have passed all my bar exams, including the Uniform Bar Exam on my first take, without even an LLM of any kind. I can also help improve your MEE/MPT scores as my undergraduate degree is in Journalism, and I have written pleadings, legal opinions and investigative reports.

Highly Recommend

I have had about five lesson sessions with Claudette on the MPT portion of the Bar Exams as I found Claudette late in my preparations for the Bar Exam. She is very knowledgeable, patient, well prepared for lesson sessions, and an excellent legal writer. She has a unique ability to adeptly identify the issues at stake in an MPT question, and then perfectly extract and blend the relevant rules and facts together for a perfect piece of legal writing. Her help in those five lessons was instrumental to my success on the July 24 Bar Exams. I highly recommend Claudette to anyone who needs help with the writing portions of the Bar Exam.

She is very patient and has many resources

Claudette is very responsive and flexible. We've only had 2 sessions so far and we are still going through identifying what would be the best strategy to help me pass the Bar, but she listens to me and adapts her tutoring to better address my struggles. I'm looking forward to our next session!

Kind & Professional Bar Exam Tutor

Claudette drafted a plan for my sessions to achieve the goal to pass the bar exam, we worked each session on a different topic and she was always very kind, professional and eager to help me to improve my skills and knowledge of law. Thank you, Claudette! I passed the bar and you were key so I could pass the bar exam.

My experience with tutor Claudette A.

I failed the NY Bar Exam in July 2022, I scored 263 which was devastating. I decided not to give up and searched for a tutor and that's when I saw Claudette A's profile online. I am also a foreigner and English is not my first so I did have some struggles. Claudette A. was very patient with me and she identified my problem with the MPT and the MEE portion of the Bar. She showed me my issues and how I can get more points with my application of the rules that I memorized. we met for at least 8 to 10 sessions and I was lucky to be able to have such a tutor who can meet with me a day before the actual exam. I took the Feb 2023 bar and I received a score of 286 and I couldn't be happier in my life. I am very thankful for Claudette A. I definitely recommend you to all the retakers. Thank you so much for all your help.

More than a Tutor - a Real Live Coach for Bar Preparation (The last Bar Coach you may ever need)

It's not often I give the title of Coach to someone unless I am confident he/she is well deserving of such title. Claudette A., is well deserving of such title because in my opinion, she is much more than a tutor, she is a Coach. Please allow me to express my terminology of a Coach as it relates to Coach Claudette A. * Coach Claudette is one who mentors others by sharing her expertise and experiences. * Coach Claudette is one who is patient, methodical, knowledgeable of the subject matter (Law) * Coach Claudette's delivery, expression, or lecturing of the law is better than ANY Law Professor I have EVER had. She actually teaches you the law on a level that I believe a third grader could understand and undoubtedly recite back to anyone with clarity * Coach Claudette is extremely patient * Coach Claudette is very well prepared during her sessions including having the necessary props * Coach Claudette will ensure that you have a clear understanding of the substantive law before she moves on to the next subject * Coach Claudette will go beyond the call of her assignment to help her clients because she demonstrates a passion and love for what she does As a retired teacher for over 36 years, I am proud to say that Coach Claudette A., without a doubt puts the true meaning behind the word 'Teacher' for whom any student would be proud to have as their instructor. In conclusion, after failing the Bar Exam several times, I am grateful for the blessing to find Coach Claudette A. who I am confident God has sent to help me 'slay' this Goliath of a Giant (Bar Exam) with the pebbles of her passion for teaching, mentoring, and above all, coaching. I am certain when given the opportunity, Coach Claudette A., will prove herself worthy and beyond capable if you desire to have her as a tutor (Coach). Jesse W.
