PGDL Law Tutors
London Law Tutor is a market leader in PGDL tutoring because our tutors know the law conversion course from the inside. Many achieved distinctions on the PGDL and the GDL at BPP Law School, The City Law School and The University of Law, so they understand how quickly the course moves and how each provider teaches and assesses it. They are skilled at explaining the law clearly to graduates who are coming to it for the first time, whatever their first degree. From the foundation subjects of contract, tort, criminal law, public law, land law, equity and trusts and EU law to the English legal system, the case and statute analysis tests and the independent research essay, we have a specialist for every module. The modules below show just some of the subjects our tutors cover.

Our PGDL tutors help non-law graduates master the core legal subjects quickly and confidently. Many of our tutors achieved distinctions on the PGDL or GDL themselves at BPP, The City Law School and The University of Law, as the modules listed above show, so they know exactly what each assessment demands.
What the PGDL involves
The Postgraduate Diploma in Law (PGDL), which replaced the Graduate Diploma in Law (GDL), is the law conversion course for graduates of other subjects. In a single intensive year full time, or two years part time, it covers the foundations of legal knowledge that a law degree takes three years to teach. Most courses cover contract, tort, criminal law, public law, land law, equity and trusts and EU law, together with the English legal system and legal research, and many are now designed as preparation for the SQE or the Bar course.

Making the most of the conversion year
The PGDL moves fast, and the biggest risk for most students is falling behind early in the year. Your tutor helps you build good habits from the start: reading cases efficiently, structuring problem answers using a clear method, and planning essays around a strong argument. Regular sessions before each assessment keep you on track, and focused revision support before exams helps you consolidate several subjects at once.
Because the PGDL also prepares you for the next stage, your tutor can show how each subject connects to SQE1 or the Bar course, so the knowledge you build now carries straight into your professional training.

Frequently asked questions
Can I take the PGDL without a law degree?
Yes. The PGDL is designed for graduates of other subjects. It gives you the legal knowledge you need before the SQE or the Bar course.
Is the PGDL still needed for the SQE?
No conversion course is formally required to sit the SQE, but most non-law graduates take one because SQE1 tests a wide range of legal knowledge.
Can you help with a single module?
Yes. Many students book tutoring for one or two modules they find hardest, such as land law or equity and trusts.
Do you tutor online?
Yes. Most PGDL tutoring is online by Zoom or Microsoft Teams, and sessions can also be held in person in London.
Our minimum booking is normally 10 hours, and you can change tutor at any time. Request a quote or message us on WhatsApp to get started.
