Law Graduate I Professional English Teaching (not only) appropriate for LawyersILegal Experience in Law Firm; Clinic; and Tutoring

I believe that experience and simplicity beat complex theoretical lessons. In short terms, as my father would say, a language is used for communication which is a natural act, and as such it must be taught naturally.
Before the commencement of the first lesson, I seek to break the ice with my potential client which involves: discovering for what purposes they wish to use their English, what their personal interests are, and other aspects which help personalise the lessons.

After I have discovered the above, I will set a 100 word excerpt for them to read which is based on the above factors, and then ask them questions based on that. As we have the call, I hear their answers which I transcribe. Following this, I highlight any mistakes whether structural, grammatical, or in vocabulary, and finally paraphrase their answers in order to show them a native British English formulation, which shows the client a natural way in which the answer would be given. This also introduces new vocabulary. Here is an example of a 40 minute lesson I have given in the past (Which can be adapt to whatever time the client requires)

Excerpt: Courtroom Etiquette (100 words) - Each question is followed by an on-the-spot follow-up, to improve "conversational" fluency

Q1: What do you think of courtroom etiquette? Is it unnecessarily prohibitive or justified?

Follow-Up Example: "If you do feel that it is justified by tradition, is tradition a justification in its own right? why?

Q2: Why do you feel this way?
Q3: Are the gender-based requirements justifiable in your view?
Q4: Why?
