About Law Tutor Online

I originally studied English Literature at London University, against the wishes of my father who was keen for me to study Law. Several years later I decided that perhaps he had a point, and took the Staffordshire University CPE at Worcester Law School, later completing an M.A. by research at U.C.E. I began teaching on the LLB and CPE programmes at Worcester, before moving on to FE colleges closer to home, teaching on a range of courses including Access to HE and Ilex level 6. Since 2004 I have also worked as a distance learning tutor, tutoring Ilex level 6 and LLB students. I have a particular interest in online and distance education, and my main focus at the moment is running Law School Online. I enjoy teaching small groups and individuals, and am always looking to find new ways of e-learning. I am an enthusiastic (though not always accomplished….) user of the Moodle VLE.

I enjoy teaching small groups, but there are times when I think wistfully of the benefits of lecturing to several hundred students at a time. A colleague once moved institutions and found himself delivering lectures to vast roomfuls of students … Read More »

Lesson Observations

There are times when I think I do my job despite my love of my subject, not because of it. One of the reasons, almost certainly, is the college observation scheme. I’ve experienced this in a few institutions now and … Read More »
