For UK students on a Law with French Law degree
French law tutoring, from someone who studied at the exact university where your year abroad happens.
Your degree includes a full year of French law, taught in French at a French law faculty, where every exam follows French legal method. Most students arrive at that year with strong English legal training and almost no experience of how a French judgment is written, or how a French exam actually gets graded. I hold a Master II in criminal law from Université Panthéon-Assas, the very university most UK students spend their year abroad at, and I've taught the French core curriculum to students in France for five years, across more than 4,500 hours and 620 students.
A French degree, with very little support around it
Whether you study at UCL, Warwick, Newcastle or elsewhere, a Law with French Law degree sends you to a French law faculty for a full year. You study French private and public law there, and you sit the exercises that go with them. For example, the fiche d'arrêt is a structured case note, the commentaire d'arrêt is a full essay on one judgment, and the cas pratique is a problem question answered with a strict French method. These exercises are specific to French law schools, so most UK students meet them for the first time once they arrive in France.
Most students discover how different French legal method is when they first sit in front of a French professor, who expects everyone to know how to structure a cas pratique already. French marking follows one strict way of answering a legal question. You state the rule, split it into conditions, then check each condition against the facts. If you answer in another order, you lose marks even when your legal reasoning is correct. French lecturers also rarely offer the one-to-one office hours a UK student is used to, so a concept you miss in the lecture theatre often stays unclear until the exam.
My tutoring is built for that situation. We go back over any notion your French course left unclear, and I mark your practice answers so that the same mistake stays out of your exam paper. Between sessions, you can reach me on WhatsApp for a quick question before a deadline. I already work with students in France and with others based abroad, for example in Dubai, Geneva, Brussels or Luxembourg. The time of our sessions adapts to your time zone, and the method stays the same.
If you are following a French law degree entirely online, you can also read how I organise distance learning support for French law students.
How the tutoring works
I use the same method as with my French students, adapted for someone who is learning French legal method from scratch, in a second language.
1
You tell me where you stand
You fill in the form further down with your programme, your year and your level in French, and you tell me what is giving you trouble. It takes five minutes.
2
We set up a free first call
We talk about your situation for free, with no obligation. Together, we check whether my tutoring fits what you need before either of us commits.
3
We build a plan around your term
We decide how many sessions you need and which subjects come first, based on your own year abroad calendar.
4
We work the French legal exercises directly
We work on your own answers to the cas pratique, the commentaire d'arrêt and the dissertation juridique, and I mark them to the same standard a French student would face.
5
I stay reachable on WhatsApp between sessions
For a quick question before a deadline, you message me directly on WhatsApp, without waiting for the next scheduled call.
Your tutor
Julien, French law tutor, Panthéon-Assas graduate.
I hold a Master II in criminal law from Université Panthéon-Assas, where I finished top of my cohort twice. I teach law every day, seven days a week, more than 26 hours a week, and I'm fully bilingual in French and English, so the language barrier never gets in the way of the legal reasoning. I've tutored more than 620 students, a number of them based outside France. A Law with French Law student gets the same method as my French students, with the same standard on the fiche d'arrêt and the same level of detail on every part of a commentaire d'arrêt.

Frequently asked questions
Do you actually know the French law syllabus my degree covers?
Yes. I hold a Master II in criminal law from Université Panthéon-Assas, the very university where UCL's Law with French Law students spend their year abroad, and I've taught the French core curriculum (civil law, constitutional law, contract law, criminal law) to French students for five years.
What if I don't speak French well yet?
We can work in both languages. I'm fully bilingual in French and English, so we use whichever mix gets a concept across fastest. Most of my UK students start out hesitant in French, and within a term they read a full French judgment on their own.
How does the time difference work?
I build my schedule around yours. With the UK, we usually meet in the evening, and the session runs exactly as it would at any other time of day.
How does the first contact work?
You fill in the form above with your programme, your year and your current level in French law. I reply within 24 hours, then we talk on a free, no-obligation call about your situation and what you need.
How does payment work from the UK?
You pay by card through a Stripe payment link, or by international transfer. Stripe bills in euros, and you pay in your own currency at checkout. Payment happens before each session, exactly as it would for a student in France.
