With my dual qualification in UK and South African law, combined with extensive academic credentials and practical legal experience, I am well-positioned to provide exceptional tutoring services to your students.
My academic background includes two Master of Laws (LL.M) degrees - one in International Law: Crime, Justice & Human Rights from the University of Birmingham, and another in International Criminal Law, Transitional Justice and Transnational Crime from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in collaboration with the University of the Western Cape. This advanced education has equipped me with comprehensive knowledge across multiple legal disciplines, particularly in international human rights frameworks, criminal justice, and transnational legal issues.
My professional experience spans both public and private sectors. As a former Legal Researcher and Consultant at the South African Human Rights Commission, I developed strong research and analytical skills while contributing to national reports on complex legal matters. During my time as a Candidate Attorney at Legal Aid South Africa, I managed over 500 magistrate court criminal trials, gaining hands-on experience in criminal defense, plea negotiations, and trial advocacy. This practical experience enables me to provide students with real-world context to complement theoretical legal concepts.
Particularly relevant to this tutoring position is my experience as an Academic Facilitator at the University of the Free State, where I taught over 150 second and third-language law students, synthesizing legal theory with academic literacy and comprehension skills. This teaching experience demonstrated my ability to communicate complex legal concepts clearly and effectively to diverse student populations.
I am proficient with digital platforms and comfortable in virtual learning environments. My international background allows me to offer perspectives on comparative legal systems, which can be invaluable for students seeking a broader understanding of legal principles. My strong written and oral communication skills, combined with my commitment to student success, make me well-suited for an online tutoring role.
I am excited about the opportunity to support your students in their legal education journey and am available to teach flexible hours to accommodate various time zones and schedules. Thank you for considering m
