One of our best tutors. Quality profile, experience in their field, verified qualifications and a great response time. James will be happy to arrange your first Criminal law lesson.

About James

I am an admitted lawyer and recently attempted the bar exam. I am able to assist in understanding key concepts and make you better at answering legal problem questions. I can show you how to accurately meet requirements of your assessment rubic, to master the IRAC method and important adherence to the AGLCv4.

About the lesson

In our first 10-15 minutes, if we hadn't had a pre-lesson phone call, I will clarify what university and subjects you are doing, and what you're planning to focus on. I will conduct a little assessment to see what level you are at in this subject. We will then discuss what you would like out of the lesson and the method of teaching - it may be problem-based questioning, I can answer the question myself and narrate my thinking process in front of you - I can assist you answering it through a Socratic method, for example.

I've had the opportunity to be tutored by James on many occasions. His professionalism, patience and explanations of ideas and concepts are easy to understand. I've had help for first and second year units such as Law in Context, Foundations of Law, Contract and Criminal Law, Interviewing for Advocacy etc etc. He's helped me with the following:

- Grasp concepts of law such as utilitarianism, positive and negative liberties, the rule of law etc.

- Maxims, understand legal writing with grammar and punctuation, flow etc.

- Clean up lecture notes that were previously paragraphs long into more concise critical bullet points.

- Obtain critical cases and legislation and easily explains them whilst not making me feel like I'm a dummy.

- Helped identify issues using the IRAC method for cases.

- James asks questions at the end of each session ensuring I have understood everything.

- Aided me in answering tutorial questions whilst pointing me in the right direction, without directly affecting my learning opportunity by directing providing the answer to the question.

- Helped calm my nervousness by doing a 'dry run' for an interview I was being assessed on for a unit. James also explained the relevance / irrelevance of some of the questions I was asking for the 'dry run'.

- From the outset, James knew I was a slow reader and gave me tasks throughout the week that need to be completed. For example, reading a webpage about the rule of law to understand the concept even further.

James has been reliable, flexible on time and affordable. Because of James, my average credit grades have been elevated to an average distinction. If you need some help from a law graduate, James is your man.

Find out more about James

When did you develop an interest in your chosen field and in private tutoring?
I think it started when I was 21. I was struggling to find a field of study to dedicate myself, and didn't feel a lot of fields were my "match", I took an opportunity on the advice of some friends to study law and here I am.
Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).
I teach law - all areas but I am also a counsellor, and feel comfortable teaching social work, psychology and interrelated fields. Lots of long term students I've been able to build meaningful friendships in which I am able to discuss anything
Did you have any role models; a teacher that inspired you?
It is important that teachers bring a certain type of honesty. You're there to build a person so sometimes brutal honesty is good as long as it doesn't completely destroy - you're there to build.
What do you think are the qualities required to be a good tutor?
As I've stated above, honesty is important and understanding as well. These qualities are most important.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to your subject or your days at school. .
To ask questions to people you trust. Asking is the most important thing
What were the difficulties or challenges you faced or are still facing in your subject?
Law is such a vast subject. The more I do it the more comfortable I feel. What I don't like though is the unpredictability of the law. Maybe I'll get a better handle on it with time.
Do you have a particular passion? Is it teaching in general or an element of the subject or something completely different?
I think my passion would be completely different. I want to be a musician or a doctor.
What makes you a Superprof (besides answering these interview questions)?
Because I notice a difference in the people I help
