Welcome! I am so very excited to start this project of mine. I call it a project because I feel like it will be ever changing, shaping and improving based on feedback. So please, if you have any suggestions on how I can assist you better, let me know.

If you would like to get to know us, please visit our “About” page. Otherwise I’ll just dive right in on my experience with the bar exam. Like 99% of the law students out there, I took a prep program. It was a pretty awful experience. Not that I expected studying for the bar to be akin to a trip to Disney or anything, but just the overall message I was getting from instructors. There were a few good ones, a few O.K. ones, a few that I really just didn’t click with. The overall feeling was of fear was paralyzing. They were essentially trying to ‘scare the smart’ into me. It took me putting my fingers in my ears and repeating “lalala” for me to finally be able to relax enough to study. I had to go home, go to my “happy place” and I passed the first time around. Some people do well with doom-gloom method. A lot of students (like me) tend to shut down.

I saw the impact it had on the students when I became a tutor for the prep program the next year. I tried my best to sit down with each of them and create a plan of action, help them with not only the essays or PTs, but also tried to help them calm down. The fear was preventing them from learning. They felt inadequate, left behind, and totally freaked. I made a decision at that moment that I needed to get away from the system and create my own plan.

In 2013 I started private tutoring and never looked back. I really enjoy developing a relationship with my students and helping them study. I conform to how they study best. My theory is is founded on the principle that the student knows how they learn. It makes no sense to force a new learning method on them during one of the most stressful tests they will ever take. So I ask them “How can I help you? How do you study best?” and customize a plan to fit their particular needs.

I decided from there that I just need to give students information and they can use it however they want. Thats my goal with this site. I want you to have information, share information with each other, watch videos, etc. However you learn best, do that. If you need extra help, I am here as a reference point.

Thats basically it. I will start posting helpful tips/tricks/etc. Let me know if you have any questions specifically.
