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, under 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.

The degree is French. The support around it usually isn't.

A Law with French Law degree, at UCL, Warwick, Newcastle or elsewhere, drops you into a French law faculty for a full year, French civil law, French constitutional law, French contract law, and the French exercises that go with them, the fiche d'arrêt, the commentaire d'arrêt, the cas pratique. None of these exist in an English law degree, and none of them get taught before you land in France.

Most students find out how different French legal method is only once they're sitting in front of a French professor who assumes everyone already knows how to structure a cas pratique. The French system rewards a very specific, very rigid way of answering a legal question, and getting it wrong costs marks even when the legal reasoning underneath is correct. On top of that, French lecturers rarely offer the kind of one-to-one office hours a UK student is used to, so a concept that doesn't click in the lecture theatre tends to stay unclear until the exam.

That's exactly the gap my tutoring fills. I go over the notion your French course didn't quite land, mark your practice answers before the same mistake repeats itself, and stay reachable on WhatsApp between sessions for a quick question before a deadline. I already work with students based in Dubai, Geneva, Brussels and Luxembourg, on top of students in France. The time zone changes, the method doesn't.

How the tutoring works

The same method I use with French students, adapted for someone building French legal method from scratch, in a second language.

1

You tell me where you stand

Your programme, your current year, your French level and what's actually giving you trouble. The form further down takes five minutes.

2

We set up a free first call

A free call, no obligation, to go over your situation and check whether this is genuinely the right fit before either of us commits to anything.

3

We build a plan around your term

How many sessions, how often, and which subjects come first depend on your exact year abroad calendar, not a fixed package sold the same way to everyone.

4

We work the French legal exercises directly

Cas pratique, commentaire d'arrêt, dissertation juridique, marked with the same standard a French student would face, applied to your own answers.

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. The method I bring to a Law with French Law student is the same one I use with my French students, the same standard on the fiche d'arrêt, 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?

That's not a problem. I'm fully bilingual in French and English, so we work in whichever mix of the two languages gets a concept across fastest. Most of my UK students start hesitant in French and end up reading a full French judgment on their own within a term.

How does the time difference work?

I build my schedule around yours, not the other way round. The gap with the UK usually means an evening slot for me, that's the only thing that changes, never the quality of the session.

How does the first contact work?

Fill in the form above with your programme, year and current level in French law. I reply within 24 hours and we get on a call to go over your situation and what you actually need, free of charge and with no obligation.

How does payment work from the UK?

By card through a Stripe payment link, in GBP, or by international transfer. Payment happens before each session, exactly as it would for a student in France.
