English Language Class - Anyone and everyone welcome!
From 36.51 C$ /h
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.
And of course, always remember - there are.no silly questions!
Any availability timeframes not shown, send me a message and we might be about to arrange a time that suits 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.
