Auckland Individual tutoring

Our Individual Tutoring Program is an intensive, year-long program aimed at helping committed students to achieve academic excellence. Our teaching team of A+ tutors receive extensive training, guidance and support before the academic year begins. Our process commences with an individual assessment of each student’s writing style. Once we have identified the student’s strenghts and weaknesses, we build a customised tutoring plan and corresponding study plan.

On a weekly basis, the student and the tutor will meet and go through an exam style question. The 24-36 hours of individual tutoring is directed by the student, meaning that in the event the student has committments in other papers or prefers to skip a week, they can simply inform the tutor and the tutor will arrange for the tuition to continue the following week. The student can decide whether or not the tuition is online or in person. The student will be encouraged to complete targeted writing tasks based on their individual progress through the academic year. We provide each student with ongoing feedback on their writing as the year progresses. By the time of the Law 121/131/141 exam, each student will have received considerable support on their legal writing and knowledge of the course content. The Individual Tutoring Program also includes practice assessments and crash courses before major tests or exams. These give our students a significant advantage and provides more opportunities to identify focus areas while developing their exams skills and legal writing abilities.

Weekly Group tutoring

Group tutorials are an excellent way to advance your legal skills in a supportive environment. We carefully focus on legal analysis and writing while also covering all the key content for exams. Our tutors advise the group on study and revision practices and help students develop exam skills. Tutorial recordings can be accessed online at any time. The group environment allows students to collaborate and work together while solving complex legal problems, all with the support and guidance of our A+ tutors.

Success Mentor

Your success mentor is a dedicated senior student who acts in a supporting capacity, offering pastoral care during your first year law journey. This mentor will catch up with you each month, and will ask about your legal studies, your law tutoring with Momentum, as well as your conjoint degree and anything else that comes up. The goal of the Success Mentor is to have a supporter who is there for you through the entire year – not just through your law papers.

Mock Assessments

Students who participate in the individual tutoring program will get the chance to sit mock assessments. These assessments are designed to test the skills required for the actual assessment or exam and give students the opportunity to evaluate not only their knowledge, but also their exam skills and organisation. Because law is skills-based, the best way to assess you progress and identify where you should focus your studying and revision is to sit an actual practice exam. The opportunity to practice their skills in an exam environment gives students a real advantage and allows them to use there study hours the most effectively.

Crash courses

Prior to significant assessments such as tests, essays, and exams, we hold intensive content-based crash courses. While the core of law school is skills-based, law exams often require a fusion of content knowledge and the application of legal skills. Our crash courses as designed to be the ultimate revision tool. They will draw your attention to all the key facts and cases you’ll need to know to answer each part of the exam, and provide an opportunity to ask any questions about the content before the exam.

Eligibility to enter second year tutoring program

Our second year tutoring program is nearly identical to that in the first, with a similar number of hours and focus on writing feedback. We restrict entry to the second year program to students who have worked with us in the first year. This makes it easier for us to advise law firms about the personality, drive and ambition of our students. Those law firms in turn offer internships to our students at the end of the second year, and this can lead to a formal summer clerkship and eventually a graduate job offer.

Internship program

Students who complete both years of tutoring with us become eligible to participate in an internship at a law firm in Auckland in the summer after their second year.
