"After graduating from a Non-ABA approved school, I knew I
needed something more than the traditional BarBri course to pass the bar. I
signed up with Steve after a friend recommended him to me and I passed the bar
exam on my first attempt. I believe Steve’s approach to the essays and PTs is
far superior to any of the major bar review courses. His strategies kept my
essays and PTs structured, clean and organized. In addition to his
strategies, Steve kept me focused and motivated during the months and weeks
leading up to the bar exam. Steve also called me during the bar exam to make
sure that I stayed calm during the bar exam like a coach would during the ‘big
game.’ Steve's coaching and strategies were a big part of the reason why I
passed the bar exam on my first attempt. I would recommend anyone to Steve that
is serious about passing the California Bar Exam.” --James Golden (Pacific
Coast School of Law)
“After two unsuccessful attempts at taking the CA Bar exam,
I decided to find a coach to help me pass the Bar. Steve was exactly what
I was looking for. Having been a ballet dancer, I craved honest feedback
and someone who would teach me how to pass the Bar. Steve is the essence of
that coach--his feedback was honest and direct, yet he was always on my side,
pushing me towards passing. Steve worked with me on my essays, PTs and
especially the MBEs. His Flash Outlines, line-by-line review, and
revisions were invaluable. These are things that the BarBri program and graders
did not provide. Steve focused on my weaknesses, namely being too
general, and answering questions too quickly, and made me address these.
During the exam, he called me after each writing session to check in and
refocus me for the upcoming session. On November 21st, I had the
privilege of calling Steve to tell him that I had passed thanks to his
coaching. Thank you, Steve!”--Allison H.

“I took and failed the bar exam twice before
hiring Steve as my tutor. Both times I failed the exam, I felt prepared
to take the exam: I had studied the law, memorized the rules and thought
I had a solid approach to the essays and PTs. I was wrong! I
consistently struggled with PTs and MBEs. The third time around I knew I
needed to do something different. I hired Steve as my tutor and what a
difference he made. He gave me an approach to the essays and PTs. We
reviewed each essay and PT. He told me what I was doing wrong and how I
could improve. On the MBEs, I quickly learned why I was choosing the
wrong answer. At times, I would still fall into my old habits and he
called me out every time. He pushed me to work hard and held me
accountable. It was hard work but it paid off. By the time the exam
came around, his approach to the essays and PTs was second nature. I went
into the exam and executed what he had taught me. Now, I can proudly say
that I passed the July 2014 bar exam. Steve is a game changer!”--Hellen H. (Lincoln Law School of Sacramento)
