 | Tutor Recommendations for First-time CA Bar Taker?
I will be taking the California Bar Exam for the first time in July 2008. Do you have any recommendations for a tutor to supplement my Bar/Bri and Pmbr courses? I'd appreciate the feedback. Thanks! Category: CA - California Bar Exam |

Tina Post is a great supplement to any course The Essay Advantage in LA by John Heilman also got great reviews Essay Advantage in San Diego is taught by Karen Bergmann. Essay Advantage in SF is taught by Jeff Adachi. And Kevin teaches the Essay Advantage course in Sacramento. Jeff Adachi is also the author of Bar Breaker, and he is just fantastic!! Good luck on your bar exam!! |

Though I myself am a tutor, I would say that if I was in the SF area and had the funds (and was a bar examinee) I would take Jeff Adachi. Bar Breakers is great, I dare say the best CA essay books out there, so I imagine having the author as your tutor would be an amazing opportunity.

Jeff Adachi teaches BarBri's Essay Advantage for repeaters. The folks over at BarBri (including Mr. Adachi) recommend that I do not take Essay Advantage as a first-time taker, as it conflicts with the Paced Program schedule and can be a "major overload." I have worked through the Bar Breaker book, and I agree that it is great! But I'm looking for a one-on-one tutorial program that I can use to supplement the Bar Bri courses. Do you recommend that I skip out on certain Paced Program days for Essay Advantage? Has anyone participated in BarBri's Tutorial Program? This is what my BarBri rep suggests. I appreciate any help. Thanks! | |

| Re: Tutor Recommendations for First-time CA Bar Taker? BarBri will try to sell you their tutoring program of course. Can i ask why you think you need a tutor as a first time taker?
