Background

In 2009 we began offering in-person tutoring services for students taking the Illinois and New York bar exams.  In 2011, we moved our tutoring services online, which enabled us to assist students preparing for bar exams across the country and around the world.  In that time we have helped hundreds of students pass the bar exam, with most of our new clients being referrals from our former clients.

Mission

To provide our students with the highest quality bar exam tutoring resources and services, thereby enabling them to improve their lives and the lives of others.

Guiding Principles

  1. Each student deserves to be treated with the utmost respect, regardless of age, creed, gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or economic status.
  2. We will endeavor to be a source of strength, positivity, and guidance for our students during their most difficult times.
  3. We will strive to exceed our students’ expectations in every service and product we provide.
