Our tutors

Our Law tutors (Associate Lecturers) are established university law lecturers, solicitors and barristers but, whatever their background, they all have at least one thing in common: a commitment and interest in teaching law.

If you are interested in teaching Law at The Open University, you can find out more on the Teaching with the OU website.

You can get a flavour of the different people who tutor law students with us by viewing their testimonials below.

I enjoy the diversity amongst Open University students, and teaching both level one and level two modules means I often get to meet up again with students I have taught previously and I am regularly amazed by the progress they have made.
