I am currently on my year abroad working at the National Art Gallery of Bremen, an Oxford Lidl Prize recipient and a Notion Campus Leader. I am passionate about making academic settings more accessible and have informally coached several people with their Oxford applications, decisions around courses and Universities, or whether another learning environment was a better fit for them. I have not always found school easy, and really had to work out how to make learning work for me when I started struggling around the first year of GCSEs/National 5s. I find it so rewarding when I do a lot of research into options and manage to make something click for someone! A lot of traditional methods of learning or revision do not work for me, so I have a lot of knowledge of non-traditional approaches which can be exactly what some people need. I am experienced with helping children and adults learn new skills, and many of those children and adults have disabilities including ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties or other disabilities.

I’m Amba. I am a mum to an 10-year-old boy, a lawyer and a law tutor!

I have been in practice for 15 years and counting across many disciplines. I currently work in Civil litigation.

Here’s a cringy video of me introducing myself – https://youtu.be/WBsRWiPNe9A

I have been tutoring students across all disciplines of law and differing levels; A-Level, CILEX, LLB, LLM, LPC and GDL and now the SQE. I can offer other subjects which are listed on my profile as I have experience within these. I am, however, focusing on Law Tutoring but feel free to contact me to discuss your needs and my availability.

I provide teaching on all core subjects with some options too. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with me to discuss any optional subjects. Practice: Family Law, Property Law, Private Client and Civil Litigation

I have experience working with students with SEN; dyslexia, ADHD and ASD.

I have experience teaching A-Level Law directly into schools, so I am familiar with the exam boards, teaching methods and materials. I am also offering a pre-recorded package of A-Level law lessons. These will be charged at rates less than my hourly rate. These do not have to include ongoing tutoring and will just be lectures that my students have found helpful. They then do have weekly support with me. My students who have taken up this option have found it particularly useful for year 12 students whose teaching was interrupted by Covid. The lectures cover the whole of the A-Level syllabus. For an additional fee, as a package, if you still do not want tutoring lessons, I can provide you with questions to answer and return them to me to mark for you too. Please get in touch with me to discuss.

(These lectures have also helped University undergrads for LLB core modules, GDL core modules and CILEX level 3 for distance learners who have no support).

I am in the process of creating a group mini-series of lessons as an ‘Introduction to Law. It will cover the foundations of the legal system and introduce you to law and technology, law and morality and law and society. This can be carried out as group lessons (reduced hourly rate) and also as 1:1 support.

For students who enjoy extracurricular – I will be starting a mini-debate/moot club which will be group sessions, and we can debate a different topic each week or have a mini-moot. If you are interested in this, please do let me know.

I also offer group and 1:1 lessons on OSCOLA referencing and research using LexisNexis. (I can do Westlaw too, but I personally prefer LexisNexis), if this is something you are interested in, then do let me know.

I also provide a proofreading service for essays, coursework, dissertations etc. I can also offer guidance on how to structure the essay ahead of writing it, so there is a starting point that will help you obtain the best possible grade and not involve a re-write after proofreading.

There are different levels of packages available, which are dependant on; word count and turnaround time. All prices include a video call to go through any feedback afterwards. All documents will be returned using a track changes document. Discounts for students already receiving tutoring, multiple essays, or return on the same essay following feedback will apply. Please get in touch with me for a quote.

My name is Lizzie (she/her) and I am currently a final-year law student at the University of Cambridge (Queens’ College). I began tutoring four years ago as an A Level student and was consistently credited by tutees for my ability both to present complex information in an accessible form and to personalise my tutoring style. I have a superb academic record, achieving ten Grade 9s at GCSE, placing me at the top of the country, as well as three A Stars at A Level in English Literature, Economics and History. My academic success comes not from pure natural ability but from my diligence and determination, traits which put me in an ideal position to support tutees of all abilities with an approach based on harnessing their potential.

A strong belief of mine is that everyone can achieve their goals with the right direction, which inspired me to pursue tutoring at University. Volunteering for charities to provide admissions guidance to aspiring Oxbridge students allowed me to build a rapport with key individuals involved in the Oxbridge admissions process. These experiences honed my extensive knowledge of the admissions process and motivated me to begin sharing my expertise with tutees aiming to study law at Oxbridge. My excellence as a tutor is evident in the consistent success of my tutees in securing their top University choices, through a learning plan consisting of a mixture of legal workshops, analysis of legal texts, mock interviews and personal branding sessions, each designed to enhance the student’s confidence. Furthermore, I am an expert at supporting students in their LNAT preparation, having worked as one of the authors of an online LNAT resource platform.

My friendly nature and drive to go above and beyond expectations make me an ideal choice for a student looking for a tutor to prepare them for University admission to study law. Outside of academia, I hold a graduate position as a trainee solicitor at a leading US law firm, Covington & Burling LLP, am involved in musical theatre and volunteer as a welfare representative for students in my college.

Hi, my name is Ips. I’m an undergraduate Biomedical Science student from the UK.

I am creative, adaptable, and forward-thinking, with excellent communication skills and a proven ability to develop and manage relationships.

I am an ambitious, enthusiastic, and hardworking individual looking to develop my academic skills in the professional world of healthcare and science. I am also a keen learner in all fields and aspects. Further to add, I am adept at public speaking and am receptive to change, and willing to learn and take on board exciting challenges.

I like writing and have written several unpublished short books and articles. Aside from my love of traveling, I also enjoy playing sports and reading. If I’m missing, then it’s best to look for me in the kitchen whipping together a tasty meal or punching the bag at my gym for the extra pump of endorphins and dopamine.

I’m often found dawdling in the world of academic creativity. As a nerd who doesn’t always ace her exams, I’m always there for a good conversation with a strong espresso at hand 🙂

Hi there! I’m Candice and I’ve recently graduated from Oxford (St John’s) reading Geography. Before this, I achieved 3 A*s and an A in French, Spanish, Geography and English Literature at A-Level. Whilst at Oxford, I helped mentor prospective students through the admissions process for Geography and so understand the Oxbridge admissions process thoroughly. I also have lots of tutoring experience for GCSE and A-Level students. I understand that every student learns in different ways and speeds so I will adapt every session to your goals and progress throughout so you feel as comfortable and prepared as possible whether that’s solidifying your knowledge of Geography as a whole or tackling tricky interview questions and admissions tests. I also think an integral part of nailing the admissions process is being really confident in talking about your subject which can feel really foreign and braggy at first so I hope to use the skills gained over my degree and my previous tutoring experiences to be a comforting and passionate companion along this journey. I look forward to working with you soon!

I have just completed an MSt in Modern Languages (French & English) at the University of Oxford, following a BA in French & Philosophy.

I started Sixth Form with a science focus, however quickly fell in love with studying French literature which enabled me to gain a deeper cultural understanding of my French heritage.

Throughout my BA and MSt studies in French, I explored a broad range of early modern and modern French texts and how these sit within the wider cultural, historical and political context. In particular, I am familiar with the works of Molière, Racine, Hugo, Camus, Sartre, Beckett, Ionesco, Marivaux, Beaumarchais, Mérimée, Maupassant, Flaubert, Duras and Djebar, amongst others.

For my undergraduate coursework project, I was awarded the inaugural Clément Olympe Lavanne Prize in 2023 for the best performance in Francophone Literature, with a preference for French Caribbean Literature.

My postgraduate studies spanned three particular areas of research: Beckett’s Poetics of Ignorance; Law and Literature in France from 1450-1700; and Molière’s celebrity status in the 17th century French theatrical landscape.

Having studied arts, humanities and sciences up to IB, I can support with mathematics and science from KS1 to GCSE, as well as French and English Literature up to A-level / IB standard. I achieved 41/45 points for my IB (2019) with a 7 in French, 6 in Chemistry and 6 in Biology at Higher Level; following 12 GCSEs all graded A*-A / 7-9. I am a native French speaker and received extensive translation and essay writing training over the course of my undergraduate studies.

I am happy to help with any university personal statements, support MLAT and interview preparation, and offer general information about the Oxford Modern Languages and Philosophy courses as well as demystify the college system and university life more broadly.

I also love theatre, cinema, dance, music and travelling!
