Rhys - Bridgend tutor






Information About Rhys:


Personal Description:

I am a qualified Barrister who is currently in legal practice.

I completed A Levels in English, History, Economics and German and was accepted at Cambridge University to study History (encompassing both Sociology and Psychology). I graduated with a high II.i degree in 2003.

I completed a post-graduate law degree and I qualified at the Bar in 2005. I have also been admitted as a solicitor and am now dual qualified. I am able to teach both academic law and legal practice, including advocacy. I am not able to provide legal advice in my capacity as a tutor.

I still retain academic interests from university and have a library of in excess of 5000 books.

I am a bright and enthusiatic individual who has amassed a large amount of academic material over the past 10 years and would be pleased to share it with students who have similar academic interests to me, or those looking to simply expand their knowledge and get the best from themselves.

I played rugby for my college in university and have extensive university theatre and debating experience.



Teaching Experience:

I have had experience of teaching at undergraduate level.



Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is holistic. By allowing the student to discuss what they are doing and present and formulate arguments much more information will be absorbed and a wider feel for the subject experienced. This is key to achieving the highest grades. This is accompanied by a more focused approach on the key syllabus issues.

This is not necessarily the case for some subjects (e.g. Psychology, Law or Maths) where more direct tutoring methods will be appropriate throughout to ensure the student is aware of the relevant facts or technicalities (cases or case studies) necessary to pass their final exam.

I am very patient and believe that the relaxed student will learn more than the pressured student, but am willing to press the student intellectually if it will benefit them. I am, however, happy to discuss with the student or their parents with which sort of approach they feel the student performs better.
