Law

Private tutoring in law

In law, method matters as much as knowledge: a student who knows the course can hand in a problem question that misses the point because they did not characterise the facts. The legal syllogism, the case note and the two-part plan expected in French law faculties can all be learned, and they are easier to correct one to one than in a lecture theatre.

The curriculum

Why take tutoring in law?

Topics covered

  • Characterising the facts
  • The legal syllogism
  • Case notes
  • Case commentary
  • The legal essay

What you work on in sessions

  • Characterise raw facts in legal terms before looking for the applicable rule
  • Build a syllogism: major premise, minor premise, conclusion
  • Write a case note: facts, procedure, legal issue, ruling
  • Construct a plan in two parts and two sub-parts that answers the question

Method before content

The problem question, the case commentary and the essay each follow strict rules. Ignoring them costs marks even when the course is known.

The lecture theatre gives little feedback

At university, a paper often comes back with a mark but no comments. Without detailed feedback, the same mistake of method repeats throughout the semester.

Learning to read a judgment

A court decision is read in a precise order, and its meaning is lost when it is read like an ordinary text. It is a technical skill, not a talent.

Rates

Tutoring in law from €33 an hour

The rate shown is the final price paid by the student or their family, NOEO commission included. It varies from tutor to tutor, and nothing is added on top: no application fee, no matching fee, no service fee.

What NOEO brings

What you get on top of the tutoring session

Tutors vetted before they go live

NOEO reviews each tutor’s application before their profile appears. The tutor then declares the subjects and levels they teach, and never appears under any they have not declared.

Live tutoring, on Noeo Live

Sessions take place online, with the whiteboard, documents and conversation in one place. No travelling, and your choice of tutor no longer depends on distance.

A session report after every session

The tutor writes a session report at the end of every session, readable by the student and, for a minor, by their parents. Their payout stays on hold until that report has been sent.

The replay and documents, after the session

The session recording and the documents used stay available in the student’s space: a concept that was not quite understood can be revisited without waiting for the next session.

Revision material between sessions

From a session and its report, the student generates their revision sheet, flashcards and quiz in Noeo Learn, then revises at their own pace.

Follow-up suited to the student

An independent student keeps their space to themselves. For a minor, parents see the sessions, session reports and messages, and decide how much independence to give them.

Methods and revision

Active recall: the revision method that makes the brain retrieve information

Active recall means retrieving information from memory, without looking at your notes, and then checking your answers. It is a more effective method than simple rereading for long-term memorisation. To use it well, you need to space out recall sessions and use your mistakes to target the gaps.

Concentration in online tutoring: 12 practical levers for staying focused

To stay focused in an online tutoring session, you need to reduce competing demands and make the student active: writing, solving, explaining or answering a question. Prepare a dedicated workspace, turn off notifications, keep only the tabs you need and alternate the types of task. The aim is to observe concrete signs of switching off rather than judging the student as “not very focused”.

Private tutoring

Online private tutoring: the complete guide to choosing effective support

Effective online private tutoring relies on a well-matched tutor, interactive sessions and personalised follow-up. It suits students looking to fill gaps, prepare for exams or work on their method, provided they take an active part. Remote learning offers geographical flexibility but requires independence and good technical conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions about tutoring in law

Which areas of law are covered?

It depends on the tutor: their profile sets out their background and the levels they have declared. Specify the subject and the year you are aiming at before booking a session.

Can a tutor correct my papers?

That is something to agree with them. Some work from a paper already handed in: it is a direct way to show where the method went wrong.

Is tutoring suitable for a first year of a law degree?

Yes. The first year of the Licence (the French bachelor’s degree) is when the method takes hold, and when the gap between what the lecture says and what a paper expects comes to light, often with the first mark returned.

What about law at lycée?

Some tutors declare that they teach at lycée, and their profile shows it. Law there is less technical, but the expectations of reasoning are already present.

What does an online law session look like?

It takes place on Noeo Live, with the texts, the decision and the plan on screen. The session can be recorded if the participants consent, and the tutor’s session report sums up the points of method to work on.
