• Teach essential skills including but not limited to Multistate Bar Exam (MBE), Multistate Essay Exam (MEE), Multistate Performance Test (MPT), time management, and stress relief techniques.
• Offer timely and constructive feedback on essays and performance tests.
• Participate in group calls involving students and coaching staff.
• Design personalized daily task lists for students when needed.

Requirements

• Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree.
• Successful completion of at least one bar exam; Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) experience preferred.
• Eagerness to learn established study and exam strategies proven to help pass the bar.
• Ability to empathize, provide constructive feedback, and tailor suggestions to individual student needs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous experience in teaching, tutoring, or coaching, although those passionate about bar exam coaching without experience are encouraged to apply as training is provided.
• A knack for referencing popular culture such as Harry Potter or Parks and Recreation to engage students.
• Enjoyment in creating or appreciating law school and bar exam-related humor and puns.

Important Notes
