Unlimited Hours
$5,000
The hours are what’s unlimited — up to 8 a week, for as long as your cycle runs. What stops is the billing: $150 an hour until you reach $4,500 — so billing stops after your 30th hour, and every hour after that is free. Eight hours a week over an eight-week run is 64 hours, which works out near $78 an hour. A longer run costs the same and lowers it further.

- 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.
You don’t prepay for teaching. $500 is due when you start — it opens the Command Center the same day and counts against your first hours. After that, you pay for each session once you’ve had it, at your tier’s rate, until you reach the package price. Nothing more is ever owed beyond that price. So the most you can be out at any moment is the hours you have actually sat through.
Changed your mind? Then tell me you’re done, and I release every session still on your calendar. Going quiet costs you nothing either — there are no no-show charges here at all — but the slot stays reserved in your name, and I will keep calling to check on you. One message spares us both that, and needs no explanation. There is nothing to cancel and nothing to claw back, because I’m not holding your money. If you’ve paid more than the sessions you’ve had, the balance comes back on request within 5 business days — one hour into a 10-hour package, that’s $300 of the $500. Asking for it ends Command Center access, since you can’t keep the platform and take back what paid for it.
Why a card on file. I ask you to add a card to Square yourself when you start, and to keep one there. Let me be straight about who that protects: me. It means I am never chasing an invoice instead of teaching. It is charged only if a session invoice goes unpaid for 7 days, and I email you before that happens, so paying first always avoids it. I never see your card number — you enter it into Square, and Square keeps it. And if you stop mid-week? The only thing that can ever reach your card is a session you have already sat through and not yet paid for. Sessions I release when you tell me you’re done are never invoiced at all, so nothing new can arrive after you send that message.
Cancelling a session, or missing one? Nothing happens. Ever. No fee, no hour deducted, no limit on how often, and no reason required — I won’t ask for one. You are a professional; if you cancel or don’t appear, I assume you had good cause. What I will do after a missed session is call you within 24 hours to check you are all right — not to chase you, and not to ask why. Managing remote teams at TurboTax Live taught me that when someone vanishes from a calendar it is occasionally because something has gone wrong, and nobody noticed. So I ask for an emergency contact when we start, used only if something happens during a session or I cannot reach you and have real cause for concern. Giving me one is optional. None of this is new. It is not a policy written for a website — it is how I have worked for years, and it is one of the things you are welcome to ask my references about. Agreement §7
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, above whatever filing in your own local court would have cost you. The hearing is by video, or in person no further away than the federal district where you live. 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 favour, 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. Agreement §21.11
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.
The details, plainly →
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 standing slot, 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 charged 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.
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, and any you don’t use come back to you on the same no-questions terms. 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.)
The Pass Guarantee
Do the work, and you pass — or 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 whole condition, 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 bear no resemblance to the task at all. 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 at all. 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. 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 circumstance in which someone else could ever step in is if I die or am incapacitated, 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.
A Fair Question
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, you genuinely can’t get anywhere else.
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, billing stops after your 30th hour, so a candidate working the full eight hours a week 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.
