Find Civil Law tutoring in Feltham

Criminal law covers the rules and principles that govern how offences are defined, prosecuted, and punished.

• Actus reus and mens rea: 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.
• Defences: You learn when the law recognises a valid excuse or justification that can reduce or eliminate liability.
• Penalties and outcomes: You explore the principles behind punishment — deterrence, rehabilitation, retribution, and public protection.

A private tutor can help you work through case law, essay technique, and exam strategy so you master each area with confidence.

In Feltham, expect to pay about £40/h for an hour of criminal law tuition.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your current level (A-level, LLB, LPC, SQE preparation)
• The tutor's experience and qualifications
• 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.

Criminal law rests on a set of foundational principles that shape every offence, defence, and court procedure.

• The burden and standard of proof: 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).
• The distinction between criminal and civil law: Unlike civil disputes between parties, a criminal conviction can result in imprisonment, fines, or a permanent record.
• When the law excuses liability: Knowing which defences apply in a given scenario is a critical skill tested in criminal law exams and mooting.

Once these basics are secure, you can confidently tackle more advanced topics like homicide, fraud, and inchoate offences.
