About Mikal
I entered the legal profession as a mature student with family commitments. I understand first-hand how demanding legal study can be and how important clear guidance and structure are in mastering the subject.
I completed my training contract at Girlings Solicitors in Canterbury. I spent almost fourteen years working at Kent County Council, ten as a senior solicitor. Before retiring last year, I regularly acted as advocate for the local authority in the Family Court and the Royal Courts of Justice in complex public law and child protection proceedings. This professional experience informs the practical perspective I bring to my work with students, particularly in helping them understand how legal principles should be analysed, argued and applied in written work.
For many years I worked as a pro bono legal adviser at the Kent Law Clinic, advising members of the public on landlord and tenant matters.
I hold an LLB (2:1) and a Master’s degree in Medical Law and Ethics with distinction. I have mentored and guided law students for more than twenty years, supporting them as they develop the ability to analyse legal problems carefully, structure arguments effectively and write with clarity and authority.
I enjoy seeing students move from uncertainty to confidence as their legal reasoning strengthens and their confidence grows. It is always a pleasure to see former students establish careers in the legal profession, and to stay in touch with them over the years.

Law is a highly competitive field and good guidance can make a real difference to a student’s progress.
My lessons are designed for law students who want clearer thinking, stronger legal writing and stronger academic results.
Each session is tailored to the individual student. I begin by identifying the student’s current level, where they want to be academically or professionally, and the specific areas that need strengthening. From there we work methodically to develop the skills required to reach that standard.
As examples, lessons might focus on:
* structuring essays and problem answers clearly
* developing precise legal analysis and persuasive argument
* improving clarity, precision and discipline in legal writing
* planning and structuring dissertations or extended essays
* preparing legal CVs, applications and personal statements
* discussing routes into legal work experience such as mini-pupillage, marshalling and shadowing opportunities
My approach is calm, patient and structured. Many law students feel overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of the subject, and I am particularly effective at helping students who feel anxious or unsure regain confidence and clarity in their thinking and writing. I create a supportive and steady learning environment where students feel able to ask questions, work through difficult concepts and rebuild confidence in their academic ability. My earlier training in counselling is valuable in helping me listen carefully and support students who feel overwhelmed by the demands of legal study.
The aim of each session is practical progress. Students leave with clearer direction, stronger written work and a deeper understanding of how to approach legal study. My focus is not simply on correcting work, but on helping students learn how to think and write like a lawyer so they can continue to improve independently.

Perfect! Mikal is absolutely brilliant. In addition to being highly qualified, and having a really broad range of experience, she also clearly cares a lot about helping people - and she's very good at it! She knows her stuff, but just as importantly, she's extremely friendly, kind, and from my experience, very keen to learn what a student's particular needs are, so that she can help in the best way possible. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Perfect! Mikal has been the best, giving up her time to carefully go through my work and help me refine it. She has helped me realised my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to writing essays. I feel more confident writing and it’s all because of Mikal.
- I am enjoying working with Janelle. She shows a solid understanding of the subject. The key area to improve is structure, ensuring her answers are clearly organised with a consistent paragraph framework of argument, authority, and evaluation. Strengthening this will significantly improve clarity and overall quality.Mikal's response :
Perfect! Mikal was extremely helpful with improving my legal writing skills and structure, she was friendly, always available for queries and organised with fast and effective responses in a stressful period. I would highly request Mikal for other tutees who need any academic legal help or guidance. Thank you!
- Libby is a highly intelligent and thoughtful student who engages confidently with complex legal and theoretical material. She is hardworking, receptive to feedback, and demonstrates strong analytical ability, particularly in feminist legal theory and socio-legal critique. Her dissertation work shows originality, ambition, and a genuine commitment to developing sophisticated legal arguments. A pleasure to teach.Mikal's response :

Mikal is the consummate professional. I can't recommend her highly enough! Simply the best
I am incredibly grateful to have had Mikal as my mentor throughout my legal journey. Her guidance and encouragement played a transformative role in my development, particularly in instilling the confidence I needed to pursue opportunities I might otherwise have doubted myself capable of achieving. With her support, I was able to secure a scholarship and gain access to a highly competitive course at a prestigious University.
Beyond these achievements, Mikal has consistently motivated and inspired me to aim higher. She helped me map out a clear path for my academic and professional goals, offering thoughtful career advice and dedicated tutoring along the way. Her mentorship combines genuine encouragement with practical insight, making her guidance both empowering and actionable.
I cannot recommend Mikal highly enough. Her commitment to supporting students and helping them realise their potential makes a lasting difference, and I feel extremely fortunate to have benefited from her mentorship. Thank you Mikal.I have known Mikal Anderson throughout her training and then career as a solicitor. She was a prize winning, top of the class student herself, and then mentored others highly successfully over her career. I sent many young aspiring lawyers her way, for advice and guidance and without fail she not only inspired them, but successfully helped them to enter this highly competitive field of work. She’s meticulous and helpful, and is truly skilled at understanding the needs of young people and adults learning styles as well as being a brilliant advocate, in all senses. Highly recommend.
I have had the privilege of knowing Mikal for the past three years during my legal studies and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Throughout that time, she has been a constant source of support, guidance and encouragement.

She combines professionalism with genuine kindness and empathy, creating an environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, learning and growing. Her guidance has been invaluable to me, particularly during challenging moments and she always took the time to listen and offer thoughtful advice.
What stands out most about Mikal is the care she shows for the people she supports. She is not only knowledgeable and dedicated, but also deeply compassionate. Over the years, she has become not just a mentor but a dear friend and her encouragement has played a meaningful role in my journey.
Any student working with Mikal will be incredibly fortunate to have someone so supportive, inspiring and committed to their development.Mikal is extremely knowledgeable and explains legal matters in a very clear, practical way. She gave me excellent guidance on property possession and made a complex area of law easy to understand. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable advice in property law.
