Online Law Tuition - Increasingly Popular Among Private Law Tutors

   Online law tuition is becoming an increasing popular option both for students and law tutors. Indeed many tutors now prefer to teach their students through Skype and other online services. Some predict that by the year 2017 most LLB tutors will be partaking in online law tuition over traditional localised private tutoring.


There are a number of reasons for this interesting phenomenon. First online law tuition has the benefit of flexibility. Tutors and students often have busy schedules and it is much easier to work around those schedules when there is no need to be in a fixed location. There is also much time and expense saved without having to travel.


Secondly, as any private LLB tutor knows, there are only a certain number of customers in any fixed place. The benefit of online law tuition is that it allows any LLB tutor to reach outside of their location. The whole globe is the market for the online savvy private law tutor.


Third, there has been a proliferation of various tools in recent times to help private law tutors with their online law tuition services. These tools include screen sharing, uploading documents such as essays and dissertations for the private tutor to check through, and interactive whiteboards. Although some of these tools may seem unfamiliar to you now, they may soon become common place to all law tutors who ply their trade in the digital realm.


The average LLB tutor will of course benefit from these advances, but it is not just the teaching side of the LLB tutoring industry that will benefit but also students themselves. Many students who study the LLB do not do so in big city hubs, and will not have access to physical law tutors in the abundance that those in city centres do, but through online law tuition they will be able to get the same high quality education. That means law students that are studying closely related courses to the LLB can tap into the best LLB tutors, a group that includes trainee barristers, academic researchers and first class graduate students.

There are many factors parents and students consider when choosing a effective private tutor. Some considerations can include age, sex, experience, qualifications, reputation/track record, budget, etc.


Given that there are many tutors around, how then could you as a tutor stand out? I shall share a few factors which I think is important.


1) Passionate and knowledgeable in the subject you are teaching


This is an important criteria that you must fulfill. Other than previous grades in school, a good tutor has to demonstrate a good track record, and be able to make references to the why and how of tackling the concept or question.


Most importantly, a good tutor must be able to put seemingly difficult concepts into simple terms, making sure that the student can absorb and assimilate the details.


Passion is also important because a good tutor must want to impart his skills, knowledge as well as passion to his/her students. He/she must want to target for full marks, and not just sufficiently high grades, for his/her students.


2) Active tutoring


There are tutors who are tutoring passively. That means, they sit around and watch the students do their homework/schoolwork. There are tutors who simply tell the students to try and try again, without offering much active helphttps://citylawtutor.co.uk/. In my opinion, this is clearly a waste of money by the student. Why pay so much to employ a guardian to watch over you do your own work?


Active tutors take the initiative to provide notes and questions to their students, and teach in such a way that it helps the students think, comprehend, analyse, and understand concepts and questions. They repeat this process again and again. They train the student to grasp concepts, to utilise effectively every tool in their hands (calculators, rulers, etc) and to make full use of exam strategies to reduce their careless mistakes or take advantage of the structure in which questions are set.


3) Motivating


This is to me the most important factor to be present in a good tutor. To do so, tutors have to be able to build good rapport with their students. They have to create the hunger, the want, the confidence to score in their students.


Many a times, I have come across students who are desperate, dejected and totally low in confidence. They sought tuition from me as a last resort, as if I'm a miracle pill to at least help them pass a subject. And luckily for them, I managed to instill more confidence in everyone of them, give them hope, and finally, they achieve a grade that is way better than a pass.


There are also students who have totally no idea why they should study a particular subject. I have this student who plans to go into game design, and cannot think of any reason to study and do well in physics, other than to make the grade. That unmotivation remains, until I explained how mechanics and physics are also required in games, and went into some details on how the programmer needs basic knowledge in these aspects in physics to create a realistic game.


There are many more stories, but I would have to stop. In short, a good tutor will be able to help students break out of their rut and work hard for their goals.


4) Responsible


A good tutor will take responsibility for all of his/her students. Being responsible as a tutor means

i) willing and want to take the student all the way to the end of the year

ii) do not teach the wrong things. When unsure, state so, and do extensive research before teaching the student the correct things. It is a hideous sin to make the student unlearn wrong things.

iii) ensure that the student improve in grades
