Advert description
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.
Over time, I have adapted my organisational and legal research skills into practical voluntary roles, such as my current position as a Legal Adviser at Citizen’s Advice Scotland. I have a strong ability to translate these skills across various courses, where studying abroad in a different legal system (The Netherlands) and performing excellently has proven my ability to adapt and curate study methods within different course structures and examination styles; which can be transferred and developed for various students from a diverse range of law courses and universities. This experience has enhanced my flexibility and understanding of myriad legal frameworks, allowing me to tailor my teaching strategies to meet the specific needs of each student.
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.
