Whether you’re organizing your time around work, family, time zones, or your own preferences, studying for the bar exam (California or UBE) should work around you. My program uses a personalized schedule that allows you to trust your calendar while also knowing that you’re getting the proper exposure to essays and performance tests.
Your limitations are vastly different from those of your classmates, which is one reason why cookie cutter bar tutoring programs don’t work.
My program makes sure you’re exposed to all of the essay types for all 15 subjects and focuses on the current, online format of the bar exam. But it’s far more than just a “program.”
Your calendar and study strategies are both customized to the topics, issues, and obstacles that vex you the most. Need to focus more on the PT? Having trouble memorizing? I’ll put in the work where you need it.
Come exam day, you’ll be prepared.
Because I am your only tutor (no assistants or guest lecturers, here!), your study calendar can be completely tailored to your schedule.
If you’re a first-timer and still juggling finals and classes, I’ll work with you. If you need to work around a work schedule, no problem. I’ve even helped students who gave birth mid-way through the program and needed time to recuperate and get acquainted with their new little one before diving back into bar prep.
None of this is an issue for me.
What if you have to deal with a different time zone? (And no, I’m not talking about California v. Nevada.) My students have come to me from all over the country—Pittsburgh, Boston, Washington DC, Florida—and all over the world.
England? Aye, lad. Spain. Fácil. India? कोई दिक्कत नहीं है (No problem). UAE? فعلت ذلك بالفعل (Already done it). South Korea, with a 16-hour time difference? 문제 없어요 (no problem).
I get it…life is unpredictable. Your schedule needs to be flexible enough to keep up.
Perhaps you scheduled time for a weekend off or a week-long yoga retreat. Self care is important! I can accommodate your vacation so you can have time to unwind before the big exam.
If you’re working, circumstances are likely completely out of your control. I’ll make sure you have enough time to prepare for that big work project, prepare for meetings, and study like a boss.
And if an emergency arises—a pet dies, a family member is sick, COVID forces you to reschedule—I recalibrate your calendar to make sure you’re prepared on exam day.
Even if everyone’s circumstances were equal, no two people approach the bar exam in exactly the same way.
One might have autism. Another might have a learning disability or a physical disability. Maybe you’ve been granted 1½ or double time accommodations on the exam.
If this is the case, you need a personalized calendar that takes your abilities into consideration. My 1-on-1 tutoring style accommodates any and all requirements so you get the best help possible.
Parent
Our son had taken the California Bar twice and barely missed passing the second time. He was quite disappointed and considered moving on to a career with his JD and maybe take the Bar sometime in the future. I heard about Steven from a friend who’s daughter had gone through his program after failing the first exam...
Repeater
While no one wants to have to take the Bar 3 times, I could not imagine doing this process without the Steven’s help. Having previously used Bar/Bri for my first two attempts, I knew that I needed a more guided and personal approach for my third attempt. Within the first week of contacting Steven and signing up with the program...
Attorney Applicant
Steven was recommended to me after I failed the California Bar Exam as an attorney applicant on my first attempt. As an attorney barred in another jurisdiction that had been practicing for 7 years, clerked for two judges at my home state’s supreme court, and had served in the USAF JAG Corps, I figured I wouldn’t have any problems passing...
First Timer
I took the California Bar exam for the first time in July ... sorry, no, September ... wait, my bad, October 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. While I probably would have been just fine studying independently with Bar/Bri materials alone, I knew that I wanted more accountability and personalized attention...
