3About Me
Hi! I’m Ailsa, a 2nd year law student at the University of Glasgow. I look forward to helping you through your application to law school, so feel free to ask questions the process. I remember how daunting the LNAT can be but i promise that with hard work and targeted help, you can achieve a fantastic score! I’m also happy to give some insights into studying law, as well extra help with essay based subjects (English and Modern Studies.)
The LNAT is a challenging test and unlike anything you may have experienced before, but don’t let this worry you! The best way to prepare is really just practise, practise, practise. Once you can see your strengths and weaknesses, target those difficult areas and make sure you try some full length tests under timed conditions. I would also recommend reading some additional non-fiction articles and thinking about the main themes/arguments to get used to the types of passages you will be faced with.
My teaching style
My teaching style is relatively adaptable based on the students particular needs and how far away their test is. I tend to spend the first session discussing where the student is at in their revision and identifying their strengths and weaknesses so we can really focus on those weak spots going forward. I find it’s really beneficial to go through questions with the student and discuss them together (especially at the start) and provide comprehensive explanations for each possible answer. As the student gets more confident, less intervention and including a time limit can be really helpful for simulating the real test and making sure they are prepared for tackling those more challenging questions. I aim to be encouraging and really listen to what the student needs and would like to work on – sometimes a bit of reassurance is all we need!
My past experience
As part of the Street Law initiative, I teach classes to a group of 6th year legal studies students on a weekly basis.
