About Me
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 teaching style
I carry out a trial lesson with every student before working for them (save for offline proofreading work). To ensure the boundaries are set, I get to know more about you and you, me. It also means I can discuss your needs and tailor a plan with you. One size doesn’t fit all, and you cant ask a goldfish to climb a tree. I want to make sure we work well together and ensure we get along. If we don’t, then the reality is that you won’t learn or engage with our lessons.
I will help you learn by applying the law to real case studies instead of “throwing a load of information” at you. This is not engaging for you as there is no element of thought for you to be a sponge. Instead, I will encourage you to think for yourself and anticipate what the next steps are.
I have found online sessions to be the best form of teaching as they are more interactive. In addition, I like to follow students own course outlines, working towards any upcoming assessments or seminars which need to be prepared for.
I have a patient, nurturing but firm approach. I am fun, approachable and down to earth. I will always be honest and believe that everyone should further their knowledge and would love to be a part of helping someone do that!
My past experience
I have successfully tutored over 1500 students (many repeats) across different platforms and privately for over two years. The Pandemic hit us students hard ( I also took LPC exams during this time), and now I am studying for my second masters through online distance learning. It changed our learning styles, and the way exams are taken – for some, this was better, and for others, it was more difficult.
