At MLER, we demand the highest level of professionalism from our tutors and students.  All tutors are given extensive training to counsel students during the study process.  Our students are taught to be dedicated and responsible professionals during the study process in order to insure their success.  Below you will find a few of our Program policies established to guarantee a Program that is helpful for the student and rewarding for the volunteer.
 
FOR TUTORS...

 

Our Tutors are trained to educate students on effective study and exam-taking skills, as well as how to be counselors.  Tutors are encouraged to be:

 

                        MENTORS

                        PATIENT

                        HONEST

                        ALWAYS ON TIME

                        APPROACHABLE

Our students are provided with a wide range of services to assist in their success on the bar exam.  Our professional tutors work throughout the process to address academic and personal needs.  However, students are taught early that their success will depend on their personal dedication and commitment to the Program, and are asked to abide by the following guidelines, amongst others:

 

1.         Attend MLER every week and take all exams.

 

2.         Enroll in a commercial bar review course.

 

3.         Create and follow a study schedule and review it with tutors.

 

4.         Repeater students are strongly encouraged turn in all homework assignments.

  

5.         Maintain a POSITIVE mental attitude, believing in your success, and making a commitment to become an MLER tutor once you have passed the bar.
