BarBri 1on1 Tutoring?

Post by cuse2016 » Thu Jun 16, 2016 8:39 pm

Anyone try it? Is it worth it? It's pretty expensive so just wanted to see if anyone had experience with them. Thanks! :D

It's about 350 for one 1 hour session, 250 a session if you buy 5.

All depends on your tutor. I am using it right now and am finding it very beneficial, especially for the writing portion. I feel like Barbri is doing an excellent job teaching their MBE formula but is struggling (at least in my state) with answers. So, the tutor is really good about helping to break down essays. She has said to me 5 hours is enough time tutoring time to really train your brain and get a formula. IF you think its worth it to you, go for it. Anything to not have to take the bar again.

I'd recommend looking for personal bar tutors who could probably provide you with more individualized attention for half the price. Barbri isn't a perfect system for each student. If barbri isn't working for you, your Barbri tutor isn't going to give you resources that isn't Barbri approved. There are lots of bar tutors out there, research them and pick which one best suits your needs.

That seems a bit spendy....$1250 for 5 hours of tutoring. I paid $2600 for 13-14 hours of tutoring. But that was just for writing help.

Nothing shameless in it. If you can provide a better service at a better price, why not?

I think the idea that Barbri tutors won't give you non-Barbri materials is a valid point, its something I didn't know about.
