His name popped up in my Google ads. I was wondering if anyone has used him and can give me some insight into whether to hire him as my tutor or not.

thanks

Professor Joseph Marino is the Director of Marino Bar Tutors. He personaly trains and supervises all Tutors. Kind of like Whitney Roberts you know, they tutor tutors, but I don't think they really tutor bar exam takers personally anymore ;)

Hi
I was doing a Google search and saw your post. My availability as a tutor is limited. I have been preparing people for the bar exam for 34 years. I have gained the reputation as the go to person when you need to pass. Most bar tutors supplement their income and are high end amateurs. Students do not know who the tutor is. There is no standard; anyone can decide to earn a few extra bucks by tutoring. Marino Bar Tutors are professionals. They have been trained and are supervised by me. When you come to me I or my wife (in the business nearly 30 years) we will evaluate your needs (personally interview you) and set you up with the right tutor and the right course of study. Check me out at Marinobartutors.com, http://nyls.edu/pages/2683.asp, Barbri.com go to NY faculty, MICLE.net.
Good luck,
JLM

Just wanted to let you know that, if Mr Mariono's tutoring is limited, LawTutors just opened offices in New York. We do not yet have seminars in NY, but we do offer one on one tutors.

Hi
The reply from lawtutors posted to my email. I am confident they have good intentions. But this is the illustration of what I said in my email. I am a premier legal educator. A Marino tutor must pass my standards and be trained by me in proprietary approaches that have work for thousands of students. Some of my tutors have 20 plus years experience. It is my reputation you are relying on. We are not a referral site. When you come to Marino you deal with a Marino. When you are assigned a tutor they will be a professional educator that has a track record of success.
Again I wish the best on passing the bar.
JLM

Sounds like the Marino method displeased some people

That's not fair... he is good at something.. like predictions

Joe Marino is bad

Joseph Marino is a terrible professor. Do not take him for tutoring or essay advantage. His "predictions" stunk. I passed the New York Bar but his predictions for the July 2007 Exam were completely off (don't allow him to engage in spin). A friend took his February 2008 retaker course and told me it was awful. Marino, apparently runs out of time when he takes a MBE. He said this on the first day of class and repeated it. He got the course because of his father's name. His predictions on February were even worse. He predicted no professional responsibility and predicted that their would be property instead of domestic relations. He claimed contracts would likely involve anticipatory repudiation and that wills would involve a trusts essay. Look on the NY Bole website and see how close his predictions were.

He does not care about his students and the one time I tried to e-mail him I never received a response. Given that his tutors are trained by him, it is unlikely that they are any good.
