When I tutor Legal Studies, my main goal is to make things easier and less stressful for students. I remember how overwhelming it could feel at times — all the legislation, cases, and tricky questions. I try to break everything down clearly, explain things in a way that makes sense, and help students figure out exactly what exam markers are looking for.
Because I’ve studied the subject myself, I can give practical tips on how to tackle essays, structure answers properly, and manage the workload during a busy Year 12 schedule. I also like connecting what we learn to real-world examples, so it feels more relevant and not just like reading a textbook.
Legal Studies is such an important subject because it teaches students how the world around them actually operates — and it gives them skills they’ll use way beyond school. Helping students build confidence in their writing, critical thinking, and exam technique is something I take seriously, but I always try to keep sessions relaxed and supportive.
At the end of the day, I just want students to feel more confident about the subject and give themselves the best shot at doing well in their final exams.
