Our Online LLB Tutors Get Results

How are The Profs' undergraduate LLB tutors selected and vetted?

The Profs operates a highly selective recruitment process for LLB tutors - only around 3% of applicants are accepted. Every undergraduate LLB tutor is assessed against strict academic, professional and safeguarding criteria before being matched with a student for one-to-one and small-group tuition.

• All tutors hold a university degree; 98% hold postgraduate qualifications and 45% hold doctorates
• Every tutor has a minimum of two years' teaching or tutoring experience; the average is over ten years
• All tutors undergo identity verification and a DBS check
• Many tutors are current or former university lecturers, admissions tutors, examiners, or practising lawyers with direct experience of legal study and assessment
• Each tutor is vetted specifically against undergraduate LLB programme requirements, assessment formats and the student’s target university or career pathway

What subject expertise do The Profs' undergraduate LLB tutors bring?

LLB study demands both doctrinal knowledge and practical legal reasoning. Our tutors combine academic rigour with experience of the kinds of tasks LLB students face, including coursework, assessed problem questions and exam preparation.

• Deep knowledge of core law modules - contract, tort, criminal law, property, constitutional and administrative law, and equity and trusts
• Practical training in problem-question technique, statute and case-law analysis, legal essay structure and referencing
• Familiarity with marking criteria used by UK law schools and with typical pitfalls in coursework, assessed problem questions and exams
• Adaptive lesson plans that build legal understanding, exam technique and independent research skills rather than rote learning

The Profs measures outcomes closely. Undergraduate students working with our tutors report strong, measurable improvement in grades and in academic confidence, supported by our client feedback and internal performance data across online one-to-one tuition and group sessions.
