Find Civil Law tutoring in Cardiff

When you study criminal law, you examine how the legal system responds to harmful conduct and protects society.

• Conduct and mental intent: These two Latin principles form the backbone of most offences — the guilty act and the guilty mind.
• Types of offences: You will study offences against the person, property crimes, fraud, and public order matters.
• Legal defences and justifications: Criminal law teaches you how defendants can challenge charges using defences like self-defence, duress, or insanity.
• Sentencing and punishment: The subject also covers how courts decide on appropriate sentences and what factors influence the outcome.

One-to-one criminal law lessons let you go at your own pace and focus on the topics you find most challenging.

In Cardiff, expect to pay about £23/h for an hour of criminal law tuition.

Pricing can vary based on:

• Your current level (A-level, LLB, LPC, SQE preparation)
• The instructor's credentials and track record
• The duration and frequency of lessons
• The lesson format (online, at home, or at the tutor's)

Many tutors offer package discounts for booking multiple lessons in advance.

Mastering these fundamentals makes every other area of criminal law far easier to study and apply.

• Proving guilt beyond reasonable doubt: In criminal law, the prosecution must prove its case beyond reasonable doubt — a much higher bar than in civil matters.
• The elements of an offence: Most offences require both a prohibited act (actus reus) and a blameworthy state of mind (mens rea).
• Public versus private law: Criminal law is a matter of public law — the state prosecutes offenders on behalf of society, not on behalf of individuals.
• Key legal defences: Defences such as self-defence, consent, duress, and automatism can reduce or remove criminal liability entirely.

A strong grasp of the fundamentals makes revision far more manageable and exam answers much more structured.
