In my 12+ years of working with students, I have learnt that everyone has the potential to excel - you just need the right tools. I've developed an 'Essay Blueprint': a tool for legal writing that I use to teach the building blocks of great essays. With the Blueprint you'll soon be writing great essays independently.

About Me
I'm a legal academic and consultant with a passion for learning, teaching, and writing. After completing my Law degree at Cambridge University, I went on to do my masters and my PhD at universities in The Netherlands. I worked as an Assistant Professor at Leiden University for 4 years, and as a PhD teaching assistant for 2 years prior to that, before relocating to Spain during the pandemic. Now my world is online, where I continue to teach and coach students in academic writing and law.
I have a great love of explaining complex ideas in simple ways. Academic writing, and law in particular, are often criticised for being too complicated and hard to decipher. But with strong structure and accessible language, even the most complicated concepts can be communicated clearly. That is the art of good academic writing.
Tutor Experience
I have been teaching law and academic writing for over 12 years. For 6 of those years I worked in university settings: first as a teaching assistant and later as an Assistant Professor. My time in university teaching gave me the opportunity to work with students from all over the world and to guide them through their undergrad, masters, and PhD studies. I continue to work with universities as an external dissertation supervisor.
My tutoring specialty is academic writing, and I am comfortable supporting writing on any legal topic. My own areas of speciality are public international law, international human rights law, and international criminal law, where I have researched, taught, and published extensively, and I am always happy to share my passion for these subjects with my students.
At the heart of my teaching is the Essay Blueprint, a method I have developed to help students learn strong academic writing. The Blueprint breaks an essay down into building blocks that stay consistent from one piece of writing to the next, so once you have learned them, you can apply them with confidence. It works just as well for a short assignment as for a medium-length essay or a full dissertation, which means the skills you build now will carry you through every stage of your studies.
Through my work as an online PhD Coach, I help aspiring PhD candidates write successful research proposals, and I coach current PhD candidates in academic writing, planning and organisation, and motivation.
I also offer admissions coaching for law applicants, including preparation for the LNAT. Having attended Cambridge University to study Law, I know how tough the admissions process can be. I can help Cambridge applicants navigate the process and prepare for the Cambridge law interview.
Topic Expertise
My key areas of expertise are Public International Law and Academic Writing. If you are thinking of applying to Cambridge I can help there too - I remember my interview at Robinson College like it was yesterday. I went in completely unprepared, but you don't have to.

Excellent class , Emma has been brilliant at getting to the root of my academic concerns offering guidance and structure in the writing of my dissertation !

A fantastic informative session was spent unpacking and reformulating my PhD proposal. Emma was clear and concise in her explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of the initial proposal and helped me draw out the unique aspect that will formulate my research question. I am looking forward to more sessions.

Testimonials
Sarah January 2024: 'Emma is a really thorough, insightful and encouraging tutor. Her feedback is always productive and straight to the point; I couldn't have found a better tutor to help me with my work. I frequently found that her support went above the assignment at hand; I found myself learning more about the law and legal frameworks like the ICJ. Her passion for the law is so infectious and inspirational; I would reach out to her again in a heartbeat! 100% I would wholeheartedly recommend her to other students!!'
