The Path to Success.
"Upon evaluating the first practice Bar exam essay I had written for him, Jay was instantaneously able to diagnose a profound problem I had with essay construction that a multitude of law professors and paid tutors had all previously overlooked/ignored. With a plan already in mind, Jay helped me to overcome my issue with essay construction by creating a personalized step-by-step process on how to evaluate each essay problem, rather than jump to the conclusion, as was a common problem of mine. Another major issue I had with the Bar exam essays was with IRAC-ing, and never quite getting a solid grasp of how to come up with coherent arguments. Jay also spent countless hours with me on refining my analysis technique to the point that I felt very comfortable with my writing skills going into the actual Bar exam. Jay's overall style and approach is very easy going and he was always accessible. Jay was the perfect coach, and part-time therapist :), in helping me overcome my issues and fears in taking the Bar exam."

"Jay was an excellent tutor. With his one-on-one assistance and encouragement, I improved my writing style and developed a superior knowledge of the law. Since working with Jay, and passing the Bar Exam, I have continued to use the techniques and strategies that I developed during our tutoring sessions to improve upon my everyday work product."

"Choosing to work with Jay to prepare for the California Bar Exam was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Not only is he incredibly bright and knowledgeable about the subject matter and grading method of the California Bar, he goes above and beyond to be a life coach through a stressful and arduous time. Jay taught me how to craft answers that receive passing scores, reviewed substantive law when BarBri classes left me overwhelmed or confused, and consistently encouraged and supported me throughout the process. He is an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend his tutoring method for California Bar Exam preparation."

"Jay was my professor in the lead up to the bar when I enrolled myself in Santa Clara Law's Spring semester Advanced Legal Writing course. The class was aimed at preparing students for the written component of the bar. Jay was a great: he was clear, thoughtful, funny, and he consistently provided in-depth feed back to the endless practice essays and performance tests.
I learned later that Jay tutored students preparing for the bar, so I signed up with Jay. Our sessions broke down into substantive law review, topic approaches, outlining, headings, and analysis. It was tough work, Jay knew what he was doing, he could explain the law, and he helped me improve my writing. With a little luck and many hours hammering out dozens of practice essays and performance tests with Jay, I nailed the CA Bar."
