Research Methods Tutors : 1-1 Research Methods Preparation

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.

During my time in school and at university, I always believed in putting in my best and full efforts into all my subjects, and my modules, even the ones that didn’t interest me much! (In school, I had a GPA of 3.9, 7A*s in IGCSE OLevels, and I faired really well even in subjects like ICT, which were not my favorite! In uni of course, I loved studying economics and mathematics which led to my First Class Honors. And in terms of post grad, I’m pursuing a finance professional qualification, CFA, and the depth and difficulty of this has pushed me into a realm of discovering and ultimately crossing all my limitations in achieving success- I’m currently studying for the second level, having successfully completed the first).

I truly believe the best results are achieved when we push ourselves out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves to be a better version of who we are. And I am passionate about guiding young souls into the best possible path for their education, learning and exploring their skills and helping them build new ones and hopefully allowing them to tap into the best version of themselves. My students always teach me new things as much as I teach them, I believe that their unwavering flames and zest for life needs to be carefully nurtured by their teachers and I hope to be someone who can be that person!
