Edinburgh and Ivy League educated law tutor for GCSE, A-Level, and LLB level

Hi! My name is Gethin, I'm a law tutor with a degree from the University of Edinburgh, who is on leave from pursuing my post-grad degree from Columbia Law School. I am passionate about the law, and hope to help you learn! My areas of particular expertise include: human rights law, criminal law, employment law, property law, constitutional law, and jurisprudence.

I have extensive experience working in the legal field. I have interned at the Shelby County Public Defender’s office, in Memphis Tennessee, where I took part in their nationally-respected training program for aspiring criminal defence attorneys. I worked on criminal appeals, but also spent a great deal of time in court, which included speaking to clients. I was given various responsibilities in seven criminal cases, which included drafting motions, writing research memoranda to prepare future appeals, and reviewing discovery. Working in the appeals unit, I pioneered constitutional arguments to attack an unjust law that violated our client’s fair trial rights.

I have also excelled in legal academics. I hold a first-class joint honours LLB in Law and Politics from the University of Edinburgh, and won the Anthony Bradley prize for the best mark in my year’s Public Law and Individual Rights course. At Columbia Law School, I continued to succeed, benefitting from further instruction at one of the finest institutions of legal learning in the world. My academic background means that I will be able to break down and explain legal concepts in an easily-digestible way.

My lessons are highly dialogue-based, and emphasize the importance of a systematic approach to breaking down legal issues. I believe that learning the law is a matter of building up an adaptable skillset, that, when applied, can make any legal issue straightforward to understand.
