Ellie is truly the best of the best. I have never met such a smart, motivational, kind and helpful person all in one. Ellie was extremely patient with me and was the most caring tutor Ive ever had. She deeply cared about me and often came up with numerous solutions to aid me in my studies. She mailed me numerous books, timers and supplies and always went above and beyond for me. She was not just a tutor to me, but was a life coach and therapist at the same time. She was there every day with her positive energy, routing for me and providing me with the confidence that I needed.Ellie was available 24/7 and was extremely accommodating and accessible. She is extremely caring and her method and way of teaching is not intimidating in the least. She has a very calming energy about her and she has patience like no other. Ellie simplified everything for me and her explanations were extremely helpful. The effort and time that Ellie put into editing my mock essays was beyond impressive.She created an individualized study plan for me as well as my boyfriend (who also took the FL bar) and tailored her program to address my needs. She checked in with me all the time and always made sure I was on track. She is extremely comprehensive, and most importantly has a heart of gold.Many of my initial issues stemmed from my performance anxiety and lack of confidence. Ellie was able to recognize that very quickly and she made me feel confident all the way through. I could never have done this without her. Truly. I scored a 166 on the FL portion and a 161 on the MBE and I attribute it ALL to her guidance, unwavering support and positive energy. She is the best. Highly recommend Ellie!! :)

Ellie is incredible! If it wasn’t for her knowledge and teaching methods, I would not have passed the Florida Bar. I’ve used many different big box programs in the past and never found them fitting for the way I study. Ellie was able to pinpoint my weaknesses and focus specifically on those areas. We created a tailored schedule just for me. Every time I tried to study on my own and then take the exam, I was always just “short” of passing. With Ellie, not only did I pass, but my score exceeded my expectations! Her program is the best money you’ll ever spend on Bar prep. Ellie is tough, but her methods work! I can’t recommend her enough! She is amazing!

I highly recommend Ellie. I was a difficult customer, a non-traditional, older student, admittedly somewhat set in my ways. Not just a regular student who needed extra help with the essay portion of the Florida bar exam, I thought that I already knew how to write. I already had the discipline and done the hard work of studying and memorizing the rules. But it wasnt enough to pass my first time around, during the infamous October 2020 bar exam. What most impressed me most was how Ellie was able to look at my practice essays--which she forces you to do under exam conditions--and tell me what more I could do to improve. She did so straight-forwardly, without any nonsense. Her observations made such a difference, and I cant thank her enough.

I cant say enough good things about Ellie. She does a great job explaining the finer points of writing a passing essay, along with how to review and drill yourself on the Florida multiple choice questions until picking out the right answer becomes second nature. But more importantly, shes a great person who genuinely cares about the success of her students/clients. Id recommend her to anyone studying for the Florida Bar Exam.

Ellie is not only an incredible tutor but an even better person. One of the things that really stood out to me was the fact that she genuinely cared about me and my success. This was my fourth attempt to pass the bar exam and I needed that extra push to get me over the hump. Ellie created an in depth schedule, tailored to me, and was willing to make changes along the way based on my needs, progress, etc. She was very responsive to my texts, emails and inquiries and was always kind and helpful. She was also capable of putting her foot down, pushing me and motivating me. Ellie not only provided me with bar exam tips, but also mindfulness exercises, diet tips and other usual information to endure the rigorous study process and exam. I finally passed the exam with Ellies help and if you want to pass the bar exam, as well, I highly recommend working with her!

The Instructor, Ellie, is amazing for keeping positivity and motivation in your bar exam preparation! She was my coach! She openly provides all the tools and knowledge needed to PASS the bar. Of course, knowing the law is important! However, there’s a mental component to passing! You MUST think and believe certain things about yourself during bar prep through completion of the bar exam. Ellie will teach you that!I’ve used and would always recommend working with her to achieve your goal of becoming a licensed attorney! I am now licensed in NY and FL, having scored high enough to waive into over two dozen other jurisdictions!If you work with her, the expectation should be that it won’t be easy, you’ll learn everything you need to know to pass, AND you WILL pass!

Ellie is the reason I passed the FL Bar Exam. She put in the time with me to make sure I succeeded. If one approach didnt work for me, she quickly thought of another study tactic that worked. She was always available for questions and support. She brought so much positivity to my preparation for the FL Bar exam. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Ellie, the mastermind behind MOLM, changed my life. If you are taking the Florida Bar Exam, you MUST take her course!!!!!There is no other bar prep program that offers insight into the Florida essays or Florida multiple choice like MOLM does. I say that with experience. I have taken both Barbri and Themis, and though they are sufficient to pass the FL bar exam, if you are a repeat test taker, it will NOT benefit you.MOLM offers a unique approach to studying for the FL bar and Ellies teaching videos and exclusive essay database are a GOD SEND. I couldnt have navigated the complexity of FL essays without her videos. Ellie guides you line by line through dozens of essays and teaches you the pertinent law along the way. The best part is you can rewatch the videos over and over again to really make sure all the law sticks! Its an EXCELLENT resource to have. You will highly regret not having MOLM in your corner during your bar prep.I can say with 100% certainty MOLM was the sole reason I finally was able to conquer this exam. I sat for the Oct 2020 bar exam and the passage rate was a 47%!! The Florida Bar Exam is a TOUGH one. Not only did I pass the FL Bar Exam, I knocked it out of the park! You want the best resources at your disposal when preparing for it, and I can say without a shadow of doubt, MOLM is the BEST out there to prepare for the Florida Bar Exam. 10/10, would recommend!!

I cant tell you how amazing Ileana is as a bar tutor. She is very attentive, listens to every single one of your needs and really tries to help you. Ileana truly goes above and beyond for her students, no matter their financial or life circumstances. Her bar program is very well organized and tailored to your needs. The database that she created for reviewing past essay questions is extremely helpful. Ileana also provides tools for relieving stress and keeping your mind clear so you can study and retain information for long periods of time. If you are ready to put in the work and follow her advice, you will pass the bar with her. I even fired another tutor and started again with Ileana. She is an excellent teacher!

First, I truly believe I would have FAILED the FL bar exam if I had not had a private tutor outside of my commercial course. Ellie really knows what she’s doing and she prepares you mentally, which is so important. The bar exam is more than simply memorizing the law, it’s about being able to apply it as well and Ellie teaches you how to do that. She spends SO much time grading your essays and gives you invaluable feedback that you don’t get from your commercial course. Ellie is such a great support system throughout the entire process as well!! Literally a second mom cheering you on! Could not recommend MOLM enough :)

I’m not quite sure where to start because Ellie is just simply incredible! So I’ll IRAC it...ISSUE: Whether, after failing the Florida portion of the exam so marginally, I could ever learn how to manage my anxiety and pass.RULE: Hire Ellie and follow her plan to a T; every task she asks you to do has a purpose.ANALYSIS: I not only needed help with the actual material (FL multiple choice and FL essays), I needed tools to stay calm and manage the beast that is studying for the bar. I thought that the first time I took the bar I literally did everything I possibly could have. I quickly learned that I needed a method of learning that matched my style of learning. Sitting, watching lectures, and passively filling out an outline was the exact opposite of what I needed. So, I hired Ellie and followed my personalized schedule to a T, I did all the assignments she had scheduled for me. It’s all about the process. Her multiple choice method is incredible (and works!) as is her method of making the Magic Binder (for the essays). Also, her essay grading is one of the most helpful learning experiences in the process— get as many graded as you can. Oh, and the database is a beautifully genius thing! Overall, you will know the material so well and the way she breaks it down is breath of fresh air (from the commercial programs).CONCLUSION: If you are struggling with how to studying a second time, or even just how tackle the exam on your first time, Ellie will help you accomplish your goal, so long as you are willing to put in the hard work.THANK YOU, ELLIE, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

This is the best bar exam tutor out there!! I cannot express how smart, strategic, and caring Ellie is throughout the grueling process that is preparing for the bar exam! She truly makes sure to understand your needs and accommodate accordingly. No matter what, she is there to encourage you the whole way. I could not have passed the exam without her.

Anaeli was very helpful and insightful. She was able to quickly help me spot weaknesses in my bar prep and get me up to speed on everything. I went into the convention center very confident that I would do well, and I passed on my first try. I doubt I would have been able to do that without Mind Over Legal Matter.

Ellie was my secret weapon for the Florida Bar. As any person taking the Florida Bar Exam knows, theres a ton of material to cover and digest. Ellie worked with me to not only break each topic down into easy to understand pieces, but to ensure I put my mind over legal matter and kept my calm during the hectic bar prep process. She will be your personal cheerleader and go above and beyond for you. I cant recommend her enough.

12/10, excellent combination of drill sergeant and psych-therapist.Ellie dragged me over the finish line and she made sure I was generously prepared to pass the Florida Bar Exam.Ellie put an incredible amount of time and effort in preparing an essay writing schedule for me, and her training to raise my writing ability got me over the last hump to becoming a practicing Florida attorney.

I am not exaggerating when I say that I would not have passed the bar without her help. She was kind, but also pushed me when I needed to be pushed. She was organized. She understood the mental aspect of bar prep, and provided tools that helped me focus. Most importantly, she understood the Florida portion of the exam better than my bar prep company. Using her understanding, she provided a July study plan that I know is the reason I passed the bar. In sum, she is a bar prep rockstar.

Ileana is the most attentive tutor! She was highly sensitive to my needs during preparation for the Florida Bar Exam, even those beyond actual study materials/techniques. Studying for the Bar is a high stress experience and Ileana made it as manageable as possible!

Im lucky to have worked with Mind Over Legal Matter to study for the FL Bar exam! She takes the time to work with you as an individual from everything to scheduling your daily study time to writing passing essays. Her approach is encouraging and motivating which is particularly helpful during the stressful months before the Bar. She tailors a manageable schedule based on you, the student, and meticulously ensures you understand the foundational material as well as offers resources unavailable on traditional commercial Bar-prep courses. I highly recommend her as an essential element for a successful FL Bar-prep regiment.

Ellie was very instrumental in helping me pass the FL Bar Exam. She made a custom schedule for me that worked with the time constraints that I had. She was always quick to answer my emails and is a wealth of knowledge for the FL Bar exam.

Preparing for the Bar with Mind Over Legal Matter (Ellie) was such an amazing experience. Ellie was able to help me focus in on my biggest concerns for the test and specifically prepare me for those areas. Anyone who is really worried about taking the Bar would benefit by using Mind Over Legal Matter. Ellie truly helped me prepare for the Bar and pass the Bar. Thanks Ellie.

As a repeat bar taker, I was ready to just use the same old tactics/materials (which obviously did not work the first time or the second or... you get it) but when I was introduced to Ellie & Mind Over Legal Matter, everything changed. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. If you have a dream to be an attorney and you know that you have the will do it, but youve maybe lost your confidence in your ability, THIS is the absolute best thing you can do for yourself.In law school you can get away with throwing absolutely everything, even things you only kinda know/remember, into an essay and youll be fine. The Bar is an entirely different beast. You must know ALL of it, in detail, at the drop of a hat, cold. After using MOLM, when I went into the Bar Exam that last time, I was ready. I was spotting issues immediately and knew exactly what to write; Id read a question and could figure out the answer before I even looked at the choices. Ellie has an entire system dedicated to making sure you are prepared for anything. I walked out and told her it wasnt any harder than any of the stuff wed practiced!Ellie was everything from a therapist, to a cheerleader, law professor, drill sergeant, and everything you could ever hope for in a mentor for arguably one of the most grueling experiences of an individuals life. I cant put into words how grateful I am for Ellie & MOLM, it completely changed my life.

Im so glad I discovered Mind Over Legal Matter! Anaeli Barr is truly knowledgeable, not just on the various subjects, but also on the ins and outs of the Florida Bar. Her analysis and strategy are an asset to her students. Joining Mind Over Legal Matter gave me the extra confidence I needed to pass the bar! I highly recommend it to everyone!!

I would definitely recommend Mind Over Legal Matter to those preparing and/or having difficulties with the essay portion of the FL Bar Exam. The program is easy to follow and understand. In addition to the videos on each subject tested, there are flowcharts, and handouts that compliment the videos. I found it extremely helpful in preparing for the essays, especially on the subjects that I never took in law school, and on the newer subjects that are being tested. Additionally, the instructor is very supportive, patient, and understanding, she truly cares that her students succeed and will check in on you to make sure youre keeping on track. I know that the skills I learned from taking this class aided me greatly in passing the Bar Exam this past July.

I truly believe that Mind Over Legal Matter is the best investment you can make to pass ANY state bar exam! This program is design to fully place you above the curve on all essays. The instructor will give you the ins and out of the state exam, as well as typical patterns to be on the lookout for. She will help you master issue spotting both for state specific topics as well as MBE topics. I give 100% credit to this program for helping me pass the Florida section of the bar exam. I fully recommend Mind Over Legal Matter!

I straight up would not have passed the Florida Bar Exam without MOLM and Ileana. No ifs, ands, or buts. She dragged me kicking and screaming through the finish line and did it with the most pleasant, positive, and uplifiting attitude, despite my surly disposition.Having Ileana as a resouce also takes out a lot of the guess work and confusion as to what you even should be studying. The database she has developed is totally necessary.I cannot recommend her and MOLM highly enough.

The best thing that helped me was the mini outlines for each possible topic. Even if its one essay, go over EACH testable topic. I failed to do that the first time, and I was devastated when I got two essay topics I had never reviewed. This time, THANKS TO THE CLASS I was able to go over topics I probably would have skipped before. I scored over average on EVERY essay. I truly feel had I not taken the class I would not have done as well as I did. Your teaching style works well with everyone. We were all able to follow along, and take valuable information with us from each topic. Ive recommended the class to everyone I know who is taking July’s Florida portion. I wish you taught an MBE class, I would totally take that!!!!!

Working with Mind Over Legal Matter was a driving factor in helping me to pass the Florida Bar Exam. In addition to easily digestible explanations of the subjects covered by Part A of the exam, the program also provides students with a fantastic structure to learn and apply those subjects in order to maximize your study time and, eventually, your points on test day. Throughout the study process, Anaeli was readily available to provide her insight and analysis, and the feedback that she provided for practice essays that I submitted were extremely helpful in showing me my strengths and weaknesses. The materials she provided likewise helped me in my preparation for the MBE, Part B.If anyone out there finds that they are struggling with essay writing for the Florida Bar Exam, contact Mind Over Legal Matter to see just how helpful the program can be for you!

The nicest, smartest, most intuitive tutor you can find. Helped find my weaknesses, turn them into strengths and build my confidence for the exam. She always has a solution to your problems and is always willing to help. You can’t go wrong with MOLM!!

Ileana’s training and method was THE REASON I passed the FL portion in 2015. I can’t recommend her enough! Commit to her method and your work will pay off.

MOLM is the perfect secret weapon for studying for the Bar Exam. It was the only thing that kept me motivated to study! Definitely a life saver!

Mind over legal matter is without a doubt the reason I was able to pass the Florida Bar. I went home to study for the Bar exam and quickly realized that I had no idea what I was doing. Mind Over Legal Matter (Ellie) was able to structure an organized plan of attack for me. Ellie pushed me when I needed it and made sure to hold me accountable while motivating and encouraging me. I was so nervous when I began Bar prep, and felt like I wasn’t properly utilizing the hours in the day. Ellie was able to create a schedule for me to follow that really helped me focus on what was important. Ellie recognized that one of the biggest challenges in prepping for the Bar is the mental state you’re in. With Ellie’s guidance, tips, and tricks I was able to overcome all the fears and anxiety I had. I would of never practiced as many rules as I did, answered as many MBE questions, or written as many essay had it not been for Ellie’s plan of attack. I whole heartedly recommend Mind Over Legal Matter if you are really serious about passing the Bar.

I HIGHLY recommend Mind Over Legal Matter! I could go on and on about all the benefits, but in short I couldnt have done it without MOLM, which was 100x more valuable than my bar prep company. After I found out in July that I would have to handwrite the exam, MOLM created a personalized handwriting plan for me and made extra time for our meetings. Ellie provided the help, organization, motivation, and compassion I needed. She truly goes above and beyond.

Mind over Legal Matter is the best resource when it comes to learning what the Florida Bar is looking for in essays. I will be honest the essay portion was the portion that I was primarily concerned about being that there are so many subjects that could be tested. MOLM helped me tremendously! I memorized all the outlines and went into the exam very confident and came out feeling amazing! I am very grateful that I found MOLM, and I highly recommend it.

Mind Over Legal Matter (MOLM) was essential in helping me pass the Florida bar while working full time! I had already passed the UBE a year prior, but this time around, I had much less time to study. I dont think I wouldve been able to pass the Florida bar without MOLM helping me master the essays and Florida topics.Florida bar essays are unique. MOLM teaches you techniques to help you keep your cool and easily remember specific issues to automatically discuss once you recognize which subject is being tested. MOLM teaches you how to approach an essay step-by-step and keep you organized to make sure you know how to tackle any essay topic that may be thrown at you.The best part is that the course is an extremely reasonable price for the amount of confidence you gain! Thank you MOLM!!

Practicing essays is a MUST! MOLM provides step by step videos on writing essays for the Florida Bar exam. It provides essay outlines for every topic that may be tested. I personally loved the flow charts. I highly recommend watching the videos on MOLM and doing as many practice essays as possible.

When I reached out to Anaeli Barr, I had just received my July 2016 Bar Exam results. That had been my third failed attempt. I wasn’t missing the exam by much but it wasn’t enough to help me beat that curve.My issue wasn’t not knowing enough law but it was test takers anxiety. Ms. Barr helped me not only overcome that fear but also taught me how to organize my essays and thoughts in a way that even if on test day anxiety hit, it would not interfere with what I needed to do.Ms. Barr by far is the person that helped me the most and helped me overcome the monster wasn’t allowing me to move on with my life. I highly recommend her to anyone who’s struggling with the Bar exam and advise that you trust her, the process, and truly listen and do what she says. Thanks to her, I was able to pass the exam and move onto the next chapter!

I took Part A of the Florida Bar Exam for the second time in February of 2019. I passed Part A and my scaled score improved over 19 points from my first attempt. MOLM provided me with a solid foundation on how to tackle the Florida essays. I know I would have struggled passing without the help of MOLM. MOLM isnt on the same playing field as the large commercial Bar Prep programs. There is no comparison. If you want to confidently pass Part A of the Florida Exam use MOLM.

THIS PROGRAM IS PURE GOLD!!! Do yourself the biggest favor of your life and join Mind Over Legal Matter to help you nail the FL Bar Exam Essays! The program, and most importantly the creator of the program, is brilliant! I have never met someone who is more invested in the wellbeing and success of her students.If you are like me, I purchased a commercial bar preparation course, namely Barbri, because that is the advice I received at my law school. However, the study schedule provided by that program was too overwhelming for me. As a result, I gave up on studying for the bar because I could not follow the program and only felt like a complete failure.When I found this program, I was on the fence because I had already invested so much money on the commercial course. However, a couple weeks before the exam, I realized that if I did not take action, failure was imminent. So I decided to get this program. AND MY GOD, IT WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST DECISION I MADE FOR BAR PREP! The essay database is the most magnificent resource on the planet and her instructional videos will prepare you to tackle any kind of essay the bar examiners throw your way. This program gives you an arsenal of resources to put you in the best position to pass the bar.The creator of this program changed my life. I unequivocally credit passing to the bar to her. The personalized study plan will prepare you for every aspect of the exam, not only the essays. She offers amazing study tips and endless encouragement. Studying for the bar is so much more than memorizing law, it is a mentally and physically taxing endeavor. However, with this program in your corner, you will in the absolute best position to pass the exam and begin your legal career!Anaeli is an angel, her program offers a comprehensive approach to help you be prepared while minimizing the stress and anxiety associated with preparation. Frankly, I could not get myself to study and she called me two weeks before the exam and helped me work through the issues and blockage I had about the bar to help me get into study mode. I studied full-time for two weeks and I am happy to say I was able to pass the Florida bar.While I do not recommend that you study for two weeks, it is important to realize that bar prep is a personal journey and commercial courses are not designed to meet your specific needs. I am in awe that she invested so much time talking to me, finding resources that would help me, and offered me unconditional support throughout the whole process. It was truly a blessing to find this program, and if you are reading this review, you are lucky to know that it exists and I highly recommend you enroll.I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me. There is no greater joy than finding out you have passed and you can now put that last hurdle behind you on your journey to become an attorney! As I said before, the program, the materials provided, the advice, and her assistance is GOLD. It is worth everything, and it made all the difference for me.I wish you the best as you prepare to take the bar! Whether it is your first attempt or whatever, you can do this!!! I am confident that Mind Over Legal Matter will equip you with everything you need to prevail!

Mind Over Legal Matter and Anaeli Barr assisted me in making sense of the Florida Essay portion. I was a repeat taker and the tutoring program assisted me in bringing my score up 10 points!! Listen to everything that she recommends!

I would like to recommend Anaeli Barr from Mind Over Legal Matter.I want to share my story with you because I want to inspire you to know that if I can, you can too!!! Read my story ... and know that your dreams are possible.This has been one of the most challenging times of my life aside from moving from Colombia to United States and getting divorced ... I had a dream of being an attorney ... not because I am looking for another career but for more meaningful reasons ... like keeping my family heritage alive since my deceased grandfather (mothers side) was a Judge in Colombia, being a firm believer in education getting a doctorate degree after my masters degree felt like the next necessary step to be an example to my future kids, and showing others that anything is possible by being a live testimony of it. It was so hard to work full time, run a successful real estate business and career, and study full time for 4 years ... but I did it ... I got my Juris Doctorate.Then the bar exam came and the ESL (English as a second language) became a hurtle in my road ... moving here at 18 not knowing any English, having to think in both languages, Spanish and English, analyzing long and complicated questions, and picking an answer in 1.8 minutes for a extremely difficult test where 2 of the 4 answers are legally correct and seem right. So the first time I took the Florida Bar Exam, I passed the Florida part but failed the Federal part (MBE) ... and it was so hard, heart breaking, discouraging, and depressing for me ... a person who never failed a test before.But I persisted and studied all over again from May to July, 8-12 hours a day, while still working 1/2 time in my study breaks, early in the morning, and late in the evening. I decided to take the whole test again to use points from Florida to Federal (hoping I did well in Florida again) which meant that I had to study all the material again because you never know what will get tested ... and in my road of studying ... I felt like giving up son many times, felt so far from passing the Federal part and that this was a mountain too tall for me to climb ... but thanks to to my coach, Anaeli Barr, I did not give up.Anaeli Barr took me as her personal project and was 100% vested in me and me passing the bar exam ... I never met someone aside from my mom, who truly believed in me as much as she did and who stood up by my side ... So thanks to my bar angel (how I call her) and God ... I kept fighting.For the MBE, Anaeli Barr encouraged me to focus on learning the black letter law. She used different strategies to first discover my learning method and after that, she focused on teaching me and re-enforcing the law in my preferred method of learning so that I could learn it, memorize it, and re-call it during the bar exam.She helped me practice ESSAYS on each subject. She prepared me for topics that were never tested but had been disclosed by the Florida Bar as possible subjects of the exam. It happened that dependency, secured transactions, and commercial paper were actually tested in the bar exam and I was fully prepared for them, thanks to Anaeli Barr’s emphasis on studying every single subject.Anaeli Barr also encouraged me to stay positive, to eat healthy, to work out, to meditate and to give my test 1000% of all my efforts. She was with me every step of the road and was reliable 100%.The truth is that Anaeli Barr and Mind Over Legal Matter are the reason I passed. She is the best tutor I ever met and hired, she was personally vested in me passing the bar exam as if she was taking it through me ... she was my bar angel sent from heaven. I cant never thank Anaeli Barr and Mind Over Legal Matter enough!!!!Adriana Montes, JD MBA
