Your instructor


Hi, I’m Tom, this is to introduce our property practice course for SQE1 exam preparation. I'm a partner in a solicitors firm, and I have also practiced in almost all of the areas covered by the SQE 1 curriculum, both as a barrister in court and also as a partner in a solicitors firm. So I bring to bear a practical angle to the subject material, which I think elevates this course beyond just an academic level, and I make it easier for you to understand the content and pass the SQE 1 exam first time.
