    Essay Writing/ Dissertation Guidance/ Proof reading

    I have considerable experience mentoring students aged from 15 to over 50 in many different subject areas, eg:-
    Psychology
    English Literature
    Law
    History
    Film studies
    Business studies
    Psychotherapy, etc
    I provide guidance with essay writing, including understanding, answering and structuring the essay.
    I will also proof read essays, providing suggestions for improvements, and feedback for future work.

    Extra information

    You need to provide me with the instructions you have been given for your essay. In our initial session we will discuss your essay plan, including the introduction, conclusion and how the essay should be structured. In follow up sessions, I can give feedback on your plan and the essay itself, with suggestions as to how you might consider improving it. I am the intelligent reader who should be capable of understanding the essay, even if I am not familiar with the subject matter. As such, I can be your touchstone to help guide you toward a succinctly written and clearly expressed essay.

    About Me

    I enjoy helping others engage with the academic world. However knowledgeable and intelligent a person might be, it can sometimes be quite difficult to express yourself in writing. Unfortunately, many qualifications are primarily assessed through essay writing. It is a skill to write a good essay - and I hope to guide you to acquire that skill so that you can demonstrate your abilities in your chosen subject.

    Education

    I have a Law Degree from Oxford University, have passed law society Finals, and I have a Level 4 Diploma in Financial Advice. I have a level 3 qualification in counselling.

    Experience / Qualifications

    In the past, I have worked as a Solicitor and Financial Adviser. I have also worked for Citizen's Advice providing information and guidance.

    Christian
    Planning on studying law? Want to know more about how the law works? Want to know how to write like a lawyer? Then this class is for you!
    Hello! My name is Christian and I am a qualified solicitor back in my home country of New Zealand.I've recently moved to London and before I embark on my next professional adventure, I thought it might be a nice time to give back some of the knowledge I've collected over my studies and professional experience. I took great satisfaction when I helped my younger brother during his legal studies (and even more so when I admitted him to become a lawyer). I spent many years trying to grasp what the law is, how to write a 'legal opinion', how to write 'like a lawyer' - even how to 'think like a lawyer'. Surprisingly, all thise things are actually quite helpful even if you don't want to become a lawyer. Understanding the law can help you know your rights better, it can help you solve problems more logically, it can help you write more concisely and more persuasively. Anywhere you go or whatever you want to do, somewhere along the line the law will be involved - if ever so slightly. And the best part is, there is always more to learn! Even the finest judges, or the most distinguished King's Counsel don't know everything about the law (although they;d be pretty bloody close). So let me know whether you're studying law and want some help with your studies, whether you want to improve your writing or negotiating skills, whether you want to learn abit more about the law that affects you, or whether you want to know what its' like working as a lawyer. There are no silly questions in my class! (Please note that this class is not and cannot be constituted as 'legal advice', it is for educational purposes only!) Look forward to meeting you all, Christian Oh and if I haven't selected available times that would suit you better, please drop me a line and I'll see what can be arranged.
