What I Offer
One Way In, and Four Hours to Be Sure
There is one way to work with me: the Full Prep Package. Everything below is included in it — the difference between the tiers is how many hours you want, not what you get.
Full Prep Package
End-to-end support: 1-on-1 tutoring, mock grading, full Bar Exam Command Center access, and ongoing accountability check-ins — built around your exam timeline, your prior preparation, and your target jurisdiction — and whichever exam that jurisdiction gives you, the current UBE or NextGen.
$2,000–$5,000 depending on hours. Every tier includes the platform and the pass guarantee. See the tiers →
I don’t sell single sessions, and there is no smaller way to start. This exam asks for a real commitment, and I have watched students buy preparation an hour at a time and end up paying more for less. So what protects you here isn’t a small first purchase. It’s that your first four hours are fully refundable — half the package price books your slot, the other half is due by your fourth hour, and if you decide before that hour ends that I’m not the right fit, every dollar you have paid comes back. Commit properly, and leave with nothing lost if it isn’t working.
1-on-1 Bar Exam Tutoring
Individualized sessions built around your specific needs, learning style, and timeline. I work with you directly on MBE strategy, essay technique, performance test methodology, and time management. Sessions can focus on any combination of UBE components — or, if you are sitting NextGen, on its integrated question sets, performance tasks, and new question formats.
Sessions are the length you choose — one to three hours, whole hours, your call each week. I suggest one or two. Two live proctored mock exams are included in every package: three hours each, or your extended time if you have an accommodation, and they do not come out of your hours. I recommend one halfway through and one at the end, no later than two weeks before the exam, so the results are still actionable. A third or later mock comes out of your hours at the lesser of three hours or the time you use. Agreement §6.10–6.11
Whether you're a first-time taker building a foundation or a repeat candidate retooling your approach, every session is designed to move the needle on the areas that matter most for your score.
Mock Exam Grading & Analysis
Professional scoring of MPT, MEE, and MBE practice exams — and NextGen integrated question sets and performance tasks — with detailed written feedback. I don't just tell you what score you'd get — I explain exactly why, and what to change. Each graded mock includes a pass/fail projection calibrated to your target jurisdiction's cut score.
For students working through the Bar Exam Command Center, grading integrates directly with the performance tracking system for a complete picture of your trajectory.
Everything you write comes back within 72 hours — guaranteed. Not just mocks: essays, performance tests, every piece of written work you submit. If it doesn’t, you get a free hour of tutoring, whether or not you buy — $150 back in cash on Unlimited, where hours are not deducted. The clock starts at your timestamped submission, and it starts there whether or not the AI draft appears, is slow, or fails outright — a machine having a bad day is my problem, not your delay. Grading closes three days before your exam so the window never runs into the exam-period closure.
Ready for the NextGen Bar Exam
The bar exam is changing. NCBE’s NextGen exam was first given in July 2026, other jurisdictions are phasing in through July 2028, and the current UBE’s final administration is February 2028. Which exam you sit depends on your jurisdiction and your sitting date — and for a while, students preparing side by side will be taking different exams.
I prepare students for both. At the consultation we confirm which one you are sitting; your Command Center account is set to that exam, and your tutoring follows it. Nobody spends the last months before the exam studying for the wrong one. Adoption dates and passing scores change, so always confirm yours with your board of bar examiners.
NextGen leans harder on lawyering skills — counseling, drafting, working from the documents in front of you. That is where the Command Center’s immersive simulations earn their place: the courtroom simulators have you apply evidence rules as a trial unfolds, and if you are sitting NextGen you also get three more in beta — drafting a deal, working an estate from its documents, and arguing an appeal from the record.

Repeat Taker Diagnostic
If you've taken the bar before and didn't pass, the problem usually isn't effort — it's approach. I start with a diagnostic review of your prior performance to identify exactly where the breakdown occurred, then build a targeted plan that addresses root causes rather than just adding more study hours.
Bar Exam Command Center Access
My proprietary exam preparation platform, built for UBE and NextGen candidates alike. Includes adaptive MBE practice with detailed analytics, MEE and MPT simulation environments, real-time performance tracking, and personalized pass/fail projections. Every feature designed around how students actually study under pressure.
NextGen Prep is its own track inside the platform: standalone questions in the NextGen formats, including select-two items; integrated question sets built around counseling and drafting; and full-length performance tasks, with written work scored against a rubric. The pass projections are on the current UBE scale; on the NextGen side the platform tracks your practice volume and coverage rather than guessing at a score on a scale no one has much data on yet.
MPRE Preparation
Targeted professional responsibility preparation with full-length mock exams aligned to NCBE category distributions. Includes a prediction engine to gauge your readiness and focused tutoring on the most commonly tested ethics rules and scenarios.
The self-serve MPRE simulator is free to everyone — open it here, no package required. It does need a free MPRE account, which is what your scores and jurisdiction targets save against; that is the only thing it asks, and it is not a Command Center account — those are created when you enroll. One-on-one MPRE tutoring draws on your package hours like anything else.
Not affiliated with or endorsed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. NCBE references describe format and scoring conventions only. Questions and prompts are original to this practice — drafted with AI assistance and reviewed by me — not licensed from a shared question pool.
ADA Accommodation Support
Drawing on my background leading accessibility teams at Fortune 500 scale, I help students navigate the accommodation request process and ensure that all study tools and practice environments reflect their testing conditions. Every platform I build is designed with accessibility as a core feature, not an afterthought.
What It Costs
No hidden tiers and no “call for a quote.” Three tiers of the Full Prep Package — the more hours you commit to up front, the less you pay for each one. Every tier includes full Bar Exam Command Center access and the pass guarantee. There is no per-session option and no smaller way in; a full refund through your fourth hour is what makes that safe.
$200 per hour.
- 10 hours of 1-on-1 instruction
- Full Command Center access
- Covered by the pass guarantee
$150 per hour — a better rate.
- 20 hours of 1-on-1 instruction
- Full Command Center access
- Covered by the pass guarantee
The hours are what’s unlimited — as many a week as we agree at your consultation and write into your contract, for as long as your cycle runs. The price is what’s fixed: $5,000 however many hours you take. Eight hours a week over an eight-week run, for instance, is 64 hours, which works out near $78 an hour; more hours or a longer run costs the same and lowers it further.
- Unlimited 1-on-1 hours, at the weekly times we agree
- Full Command Center access
- Covered by the pass guarantee
So which tier is actually cheapest? Straight answer, because you would work it out anyway: below about 33 hours the 20-hour package is the better rate. Unlimited Hours costs $5,000 however you cut it, so at 30 hours that is $167 an hour — more than the 20-hour tier’s $150. It only overtakes past roughly 33 hours, and then it keeps falling: $125 at 40 hours, $78 at 64. So don’t buy Unlimited Hours for the rate unless you are confident you will go well past thirty. Buy it because you would rather not carry an hours budget in your head while you are trying to study. If you expect to work fewer hours than that with me, the 20-hour package is the better deal and I would rather tell you than sell you the bigger one.
How you pay. Half the package price is due when you book — $1,000, $1,500 or $2,500 by tier — and that payment holds the weekly times written into your contract. When it clears, I create your Command Center login and email you a link to set your password. The other half is due by your fourth hour; I invoice it after your third hour, or before any session that would deliver your fourth. That is the whole bill: two payments, no per-session invoices, no card on file, and nothing ever owed beyond the package price.
Four hours to be sure. Until your fourth hour is delivered, you can ask for a refund at any time, for any reason, and every dollar you have paid comes back — including the hours you have already sat through. The diagnostic I send before we start does not count toward those hours, so you are judging me on four hours of substance. A request counts from the moment you send it, in your own time zone, whatever time I open it. Why four hours and not longer: I commit hours to you the day you book, and I need a commitment back. At some point you have to be all in, or I cannot protect the practice. It goes out within 10 calendar days of your request, counted from the day after you send it. Asking for it ends Command Center access, since you can’t keep the platform and take back what paid for it. After the fourth hour the package is yours and is not refundable — but your unused hours never expire, so stopping later costs nothing further. Tell me you’re done, and I release every session still on your calendar; no explanation owed.
Canceling a session? Always free. Any word before fifteen minutes into the session — a text, an email, one line — makes it a cancellation: no fee, no hour deducted, no limit on how often, and no reason required. I won’t ask for one. Missing one without a word is different. A no-show is a session where fifteen minutes have passed and I have heard nothing. Your first two carry no consequence at all, and I tell you the count after each one, so the third can never surprise you. On the third, your committed times are released and any refund window still open closes. Your hours are still yours — come back whenever you like and use them at times I have open — but I can no longer promise your old times, or any committed time. I will still call after a missed session to check you are all right. That part is not a policy written for a website; it is how I have worked for years. Agreement §7
Your times are yours, and mine to keep. At the consultation you tell me how many hours a week you want and when; if I can hold those times, they go into your contract as a covenant, and there is no cap — all ten hours of a 10-hour package in one week is fine if I have them to sell. If I move one of your committed times, it is rescheduled at the first time that works for you, and the first one incurs no consequence for me, just as you get two free no-shows. Every move after that, for any reason and with any notice, gets you two free hours — on Unlimited, where hours are not counted, $150 back in cash within ten days. The one exception is rearranging a week to fit a proctored mock exam. Want to move a time yourself, or add hours in a heavy week? Ask, and I fit you in wherever I have room; your committed times stay yours. Agreement §6.2, 6.12–6.13
And if we end up in a dispute. You should know this before you pay, not after: disputes go to individual arbitration rather than to a jury, and you agree not to join a class action. That is a real right you are giving up. Here is what I put on the other side of it — I pay the arbitration fees, all of them: filing, administration, and the arbitrator. Every hearing is by video or phone: I have a mobility disability that makes travel to in-person proceedings impracticable, this is a remote practice, and neither of us travels to be heard. If your own disability means video or phone does not work for you, say so and we settle a format that accommodates us both. Small claims court stays open to either of us. And for anything that does belong in court, it is your home courts, which binds me exactly as it binds you. First, though, we simply talk: thirty days to sort it out directly before any of that starts. Agreement §18 · Terms §12
Why is all of this pointed your way? Because risk belongs with whoever is better placed to carry it, and between us that isn’t close. The full answer, and how to check it →
And the terms can only move one way. What you sign is what you get. If I improve these terms later, that improvement binds me automatically and reaches you without a new signature — whether or not you ever hear about it. If I change them in my favor, it does not touch you at all: you keep the version you signed, for your whole exam cycle and for any cycle you spend using the pass guarantee. A change that cuts both ways gets taken apart, and you keep the good half. And if it is ever arguable whether a change helps you, that argument is decided your way — not as a last resort once other readings fail, but first. And if two things I have written can be read to differ, the reading that favors you governs; the agreement makes that a binding rule in any dispute. Agreement §21.11–21.12
And you can read the contract itself. Everything above is a plain-English summary of a real agreement, published in full at czerwonkalegal.com/agreement — before you pay, not after. If the summary and the agreement ever disagree, the agreement says the version giving you greater rights wins.
Tiers can sell out, and I say so when they do. I take no more than twenty students in a cycle, and fewer when the hours people have already committed to require it. That cap is in the agreement, not just on this page, and it exists for one reason: a promise that I read every piece of your written work myself, within 72 hours, is only worth making at a size where I can keep it. How much I can schedule depends on how many students I am already carrying. The moment I can no longer guarantee I could actually deliver a tier — the hours, the committed times, the 72-hour grading — I mark that tier sold out rather than take your money and sort it out later. If you can see it here, I can deliver it.
The per-hour prices above are all-in — instruction plus platform. $500 of every package covers full Bar Exam Command Center access, and because that $500 is counted once rather than every cycle, renewing at the same tier later costs $500 less: you pay for the hours, not the platform again. Access itself runs for the exam cycle you enrolled for, plus any cycle in which you are using the pass guarantee. For refund purposes the $500 is not a separate item: inside your first four hours everything comes back, platform included, and after that any refund the agreement provides values your hours at your tier rate with nothing added or deducted for the platform; Unlimited hours are valued at $150 each for that purpose. Agreement §9.6
Run out of hours and want more? Once you have worked through a package, you can add hours at your own tier’s rate — $200 on the 10-hour package, $150 on the 20-hour. You already made the commitment, so you keep the price it bought; finishing your hours is not a reason to charge you more for the next one. They behave like package hours in every other way too: they count toward the guarantee, they are paid for up front, and they never expire. Tell me before your last package session ends that you want more; I invoice them, and paying within 96 hours locks your committed times for those hours. Pay later and you can still have the hours, but the times may have gone to someone else. The receipt is the paperwork; there is no second contract. And Command Center access does not end when your hours do: it runs through your cycle and any guarantee cycle. This is a continuation, not a way in — hours à la carte aren’t sold to anyone who hasn’t bought a package. (Unlimited students never need them.)
Do the work. If you still don’t pass, your next round of tutoring is on me.
Work at least ten hours with me and complete every assignment. If you still don’t pass in your target jurisdiction, you get a full second round of preparation at your purchased tier, at no cost. Repeat takers included.
What you have to do
- Ten hours or more with me. That is the first of two conditions, whichever package you bought — work ten hours and the guarantee stands whether or not you use the rest. Under ten and it lapses, because I will not responsibly guarantee passage to someone I have spent less than ten hours with. And hours you asked for that I could not schedule before your exam count as used: you should never lose this because my calendar filled up.
- Complete every assignment — and good faith means any real attempt. A good-faith effort is any attempt, however flawed, at the question or task in front of you. To fall short, an answer has to name no area of law that belongs to the question. To put it beyond argument: any response of five sentences or more that names the subject area being tested — torts, criminal procedure, evidence — is conclusively a good-faith effort, and I am left no discretion to say otherwise. And you cannot lose the guarantee this way quietly. If an answer misses the mark entirely — no area of law in it that belongs to the question — I tell you, I teach you the point, and you try again. That second attempt counts, whatever it looks like, because you made it; I am left no discretion there either. The only way to fall short is never to attempt at all. You keep every right under the guarantee throughout. Nobody here ever loses it quietly, or finds out at the finish line that they lost it weeks ago. Every assignment and its status is visible to you in the Command Center at any time.
- Tell me within 15 days of your result being released, by email — the official letter or a screenshot. That is the only deadline that binds you.
What you get
- A full second round at the tier you bought — not scaled down to the hours you happened to use.
- Command Center access restored at no further charge. A retake that made you buy the platform again would not be a guarantee.
- No deadline on using it. It covers any future administration, not just the next. Once you have given notice, the retake waits as long as you need.
- A score that fails in your target jurisdiction counts, even if the same score would have passed somewhere else. You were preparing for the bar you actually sat.
What it is not
- It is one repeat. The second round is a full round of real tutoring at no cost, but it does not itself carry a further guarantee. If you sit again after that, you are buying a package like anyone else.
- It does not extend Command Center access to an unrelated later sitting — access runs for the cycle you enrolled for, plus any cycle in which you are using this guarantee.
Two things that are yours regardless. Your unused hours never expire — deferral is unbounded, and if life moves you to a later exam they wait for you, however far out that turns out to be. And every session is taught by me. Not an associate, not a contractor, not whoever is free that week. That is in the agreement, not just on this page (§3.6 and §3.7): the only circumstances in which anyone else could ever step in are the ones in the succession clause — death, incapacity, closing the practice, or thirty days of non-delivery — and even then you are refunded rather than reassigned.
And about outcomes, before you decide. I publish no pass rate yet and I set out why on the home page — together with an old number of mine you may still turn up in search results, and an offer to introduce you to a former student who did not pass. All three, in full →
I have not found another bar-prep provider that repeats the tutoring itself. The “free repeat” offers I’ve seen repeat course access — the lectures and the question bank, not the tutor. If you find one that does, tell me and I’ll correct this.
Why are my prices lower than the big commercial courses?
You may be wondering. Honestly — I believe quality bar tutoring should be within reach, and I could charge more but have no desire to. Because my content is my own rather than licensed, I don’t carry the licensing costs that inflate everyone else’s prices — the big commercial courses largely draw from the same licensed question pool. What I give you is mine, written for this exam, not licensed from a shared pool.
And don’t take my word for it — the comparison that matters is private tutoring, not course access. As published in July 2026, the national providers’ one-on-one rates ran roughly $350 to $470 an hour, with ten-hour packages starting near $3,600, often billed on top of a separate course fee. Those are their numbers, not mine, and they change — check them before you decide. Mine start at $200 an hour on the smallest tier and fall from there: on the unlimited tier the price is fixed at $5,000, so a candidate working eight hours a week over an eight-week run is paying under $80 an hour — and less than that over a longer run. Command Center access and the pass guarantee are included rather than sold on top. That arithmetic is on the pricing above; do it yourself rather than taking my word for it.
