One-to-one law tuition
My tuition is individual and is built around what you want to achieve.
You may be struggling with a particular topic, preparing for an examination, trying to understand a difficult case, working out how to approach a problem question, or developing an argument for an essay or dissertation. We start with the particular difficulty and work from there.
A-level Law
I offer tuition across the A-level Law syllabus, whether you need regular support with the course or help with a particular topic.
Sessions can include explanation and discussion of legal principles and cases, working through problem questions, essay planning and examination technique.
The objective is straightforward: to make sure that you understand the law you are studying and can use that understanding effectively in an examination.
Undergraduate Law
At undergraduate level my principal areas are:
Contract Law
Commercial Law
Restitution and Unjust Enrichment
Private International Law
Selected areas of Equity and Trusts
Tuition can focus on a particular part of a module or on the skills needed to deal with it successfully.
That might mean spending an hour making sense of a topic which has never quite become clear from lectures and reading. It might mean taking a problem question apart and identifying the issues that actually matter. Or it might involve discussing an essay and testing whether the argument you intend to make really works.
I will not write assessed work for you or provide answers for submission. I can, however, help you understand the subject, develop your own argument and improve the way in which you express it.
Postgraduate and dissertation support
At postgraduate level I can offer more specialised tuition in areas within my academic expertise, particularly restitution and unjust enrichment, tracing, and related areas of commercial and private law.
I can also provide individual support with dissertations and other extended legal writing. This may include discussing the research question, structure and argument; identifying difficulties in the analysis; and critically discussing work in progress.
The work and conclusions remain yours.
How a session works
Before the session, you tell me what you would like to discuss and, where appropriate, send me the relevant question, case or material. That allows us to use the tuition time for discussion rather than spending the first part of the session establishing what the problem is.
Sessions are conversational. I will explain things where explanation is needed, but I will also ask questions, challenge propositions and encourage you to work through the problem yourself.
There is no predetermined programme unless you want one. A session should address what you need help with at that particular point in your studies.
