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.

Extra information

A laptop is likely to be handy, but big respect if you take notes by hand. Some recording device will prove very beneficial too.

I am a 30 year old New Zealand male who has moved to London with my girlfriend who is a teacher I have always been fascinated with writing, fairness and justice, so a career in law was bound to happy.

Outside of this I am an avid music fan, runner and enjoy travelling to experience new cultures.

Education

I went to high school at Chirsts College in Christchurch New Zealand
Victoria University of Wellington studying law and arts (majoring in media studies) I also took a number of music papers, particularly Sonic Arts. My favourite law papers were on international law, climate change, and IT and technology.

Experience / Qualifications

I have volunteered at Community Law in Wellington, worked for a private law firm in Whangnaui for 2 years followed by a more commercial based law firm in Auckland before moving to London
I am a qualified lawyer back in my home country of New Zealand. I've recently moved to London at the request of my lovely girlfriend and thought I might share my 2nd love of the English language while I'm looking for my next professional adventure. Whether you're just wanting to learn to speak, write creatively, concisely, or persuasively I am here to help. We can tailor my classes so that you can take something real and valuable from it. If you are also a budding law student, or want to know more about the study of law - let me know and I'll see if I can arrange something separate for that.

Tips and Tricks for Sociology Essay Writing, Targeted to GCSE and AS/A Level Students.
I am eager to help young people feel confident when writing sociology essays. I will place an emphasis on deconstructing the questions students are given by encouraging them to reword the question to offer a different perspective on it. In addition, the main aim of a sociology essay is to convince the reader more and more of the argument you have claimed in the introduction. I want to help students do this by helping them follow the PEAL structure, i.e. Point, Evidence, Analysis, Link back to question. I have found this a very effective and coherent way of structuring an essay. I have studied Sociology for 7 years now, at AS/A Level, Undergraduate Level and now at MSc level at LSE. I was awarded First-Class Honours in my undergraduate as well as 'Best Dissertation of the year' by the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. I am seeking a potential career in academia so I truly feel passionate about engaging with the lesson plans on this platform and helping students feel confident in their essay writing.

Business and Legal Second Language English for Professionals and Students (including Real Estate Agents)
I offer 2 approaches to ensure that you improve the level of your Business or Legal English performance. One will be content-driven, structured lessons extending your vocabulary and brushing up on your grammar. The other will be more chilled and conversational, where I sneak in some new vocab, introduce useful expressions and correct your grammar. Either way, we will work to improve your speaking, writing, reading and listening skills to increase your confidence to use English in your daily work functions and tasks, such as formal emails, report writing, negotiations, presentations and court appearances. Confidence is key and I am sure I can instill it in you. I can assure you that once your confidence improves so will your ability to use English in whatever form is required.

Essay writing and IB English Lang/Lit SL/HL tutoring to help you with your essay writing and form ideas while speaking coherently in your IO
After completing IB English Lang/Lit HL and receiving 7s in my HL Essays and IO, I am ready to help others achieve their highest potential when it comes to essay writing. In my recent written university work I have received 80+/100 and this grade range is the Highest Distinction. We will begin with a first lesson in order to get to know each other and see whether our goals align. We will discuss what exactly you need help with and make a weekly tutoring schedule. This is especially important when it comes to planning and writing HL essays and IOs. I will provide you with feedback, help you structure your work and read through it with you. I will also set deadlines for the next class that I expect you to meet. Keep in mind I pay great attention to grammar, spelling and overall clarity. IOs can be especially daunting, the idea of speaking for 10 minutes straight in essay format scared me too but I did it and received a 7, and I am here to provide you with tips and advice on how to achieve this. I am looking for students who are open to receiving constructive criticism for their work. I promise I will approach all of our lessons with patience, kindness, motivation and support!
