If you have recently failed the California bar, come try a new approach.  Most students in this situation have spent too much time on MBE questions and not enough on essay practice.  The shortcoming of most bar-prep classes is that they keep telling you to “spot the issues,” but they never give you a list of what “the issues” are!  Scot has looked over numerous model answers to determine exactly what “the issues” are and how to structure your essay responses with them.  Frankly, the exam also requires a massive knowledge base.  Scot will help you with brute force memorization. He can look over your outlines and checklists to make sure they are complete, or alternatively start you on a new program with the flashcards-to-outline system that worked for him.

Scot can also tutor the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) naturalization exam, which applicants must pass as the final stage to becoming a naturalized United States citizen! The exam covers English and United States Civics.
