The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another – William James
We pride ourselves on being interactive, goal-oriented, elegant and technology-based:
Interactive – we take an interactive approach to private tutoring and consultancy services. We believe that it is essential that students develop critical thinking skills and believe in the value of productive discussion with students to hone their understanding of legal cases and reasoning. Through this method, we develop students’ critical thinking and lateral thinking skills so that they can themselves deliver excellence in their daily life.
Goal-oriented – we work together with our clients to understand what they need and how we can deliver value to them. Oxford Law Tutor is happy to customise services and quotations to clients based on their unique needs. In addition, we use goal-oriented learning in our tuition sessions. We also aspire to give students analytical assignments and discussion questions to assess their learning over time.
Elegant – our tutors and providers elegantly break down the most complex legal concepts into bite-sized morsels for clients to enhance their understanding. In addition, we push the boundaries of learning and encourage our students to go above and beyond by thinking deeply about the rationale behind different legal rules and precedents. This enables our clients to excel even given unorthodox examination questions and assignments due to their strong foundation in the subject.
Technology-based – we are based in Oxford and London and have access to an international network of over 3000 physical sites where students and teachers can fraternise. Alternatively, we are readily adaptable to the needs of our clients and changing social mores, and are happy to arrange technology-enabled distance lessons between clients and teachers residing in different jurisdictions. Particularly in a post-Covid world, the overall aim of our platform is to provide a world-class matching service such that no client will be disenfranchised due to technological constraints or geographical barriers.
Our services vary based on the needs of our clients. For instance, clients who need help brainstorming on a topic can seek us out for guidance on suitable dissertation or article topics. Clients who wish to understand the academic writing process more deeply can also contact us for consultation and tuition services on how to understand the writing process and what each step of writing the paper entails. Clients who simply need a second pair of eyes to proofread or edit their articles can also reach out to us for our discerning and professional insights.
Our tutors come from established academic and professional backgrounds. Our tutors are all graduates of prestigious universities, including Oxford and Cambridge. Professionally, many have experience of working at leading City firms (US elite / Magic Circle / Silver Circle and UK Top 20) and/or well-known sets of chambers. Aside from being excellent at mentoring and teaching, they also possess deep insights into the legal system across multiple jurisdictions. This is best exemplified in the numerous academic publications that our tutors have written, and which have been recognised and published in official journals and papers. For examples of a few professional papers that our tutors have themselves written please see below.
