I am keen to support younger law students who need help navigating the inherently distinct academic nature of legal study. Sharing my tips and tools, such as using task planning software and platforms to organise tasks, notes, and study techniques, can help students organise their legal studies, which can be overwhelming and complex. I have an extensive familiarity with dissecting case law, various legal disciplines and fields, as well as orderly methodologies to excel in both research writing and exam preparation.

Throughout my time in law school, I have learnt the best techniques and structures for note-taking, organising and prioritising tasks, and dissecting case law and extensive readings. Studying law in the United Kingdom is characterised by legal tests, whether embedded in legislation or case law. To analyse legal theories in research or answer problem questions in exams, a combination of identifying problems and relevant rules, applying reasoning and cross-checking is central to legal academia - which would be my main approach as a tutor for younger students who will be unfamiliar with legal academic skills. Planning is central to excelling in law school. I would utilise the online manner of tutoring to establish digital collaborative planners to guide students in their work and monitor whether tasks are carried out effectively. I have familiarity with various software to leave comments and break down advice in a succinct, constructive manner to help students understand where to make changes and improve their academic skills and performance.
