Is My Tutoring Approach Right for Your Brain?

I work with a limited number of bar examinees each cycle to ensure I have the time and mental space for deep engagement with each student’s learning process. This form helps us both assess whether my teaching style matches how your brain works best. 

My approach is rooted in:

  • Critical thinking over memorization 

  • Transparency about what we know and what we’re still figuring out 

  • Collaborative problem-solving (I see you as a colleague, not just a student) 

  • Being told directly when you’re wrong or misunderstanding something 

  • Finding accurate legal resources rather than quick shortcuts

This form takes about 10-15 minutes. Your honest answers help me determine if I can genuinely help you pass the bar, and help you decide if my style resonates with how you learn.
