Tutoring & notes FAQ
Common questions.
How does the 1:1 tutoring work?
Every session is 60 minutes with me on Google Meet, always recorded and sent to you within 24 hours. Book a free 15-min Trial Lesson if you want to try before committing. For serious prep, the Paper Course (£395) is 6 sessions across one paper with all the notes for that paper included; the Full Programme (£995) is 6 months of weekly sessions covering everything, with same-day WhatsApp support and every module included free.
Do I have to book tutoring, or can I just buy the notes?
Either works. Standalone notes are £49.99 per topic or up to 53% off in bundles. But if you're serious about hitting Level 4, tutoring is where I can actually show you how to use the notes in an exam. That's why every tutoring package includes the notes free.
What's the difference between the £45 Single Session and the free 15-min Trial Lesson?
The Trial Lesson (free, 15 min) is a no-card discovery chat — you bring questions, I explain how I'd approach your weak areas, and you decide if you want to book. The Single Session (£45, 60 min) is a real tutoring session where we work through a topic you pick, and you keep the LawByLak module for that topic afterwards. Trial Lesson is "see if we're a fit"; Single Session is "let's actually work on Loss of Control today".
How many tutoring sessions will I need?
Depends where you're starting. Most Paper 1 (Criminal) students take a 6-session Paper Course and it covers them for the whole exam. Full Programme students book once a week for the whole year. For January/June crunch prep, 4-6 sessions in the fortnight before the exam is common. Book a free 15-min Trial Lesson and I'll give you an honest estimate — no pressure.
How do bundles work?
Six bundles are structured around how OCR H418 divides the specification — one per paper, plus foundational entry points.
Paper 1 Foundation (T1+T2) is the only bundle live on Payhip currently at its launch price of £79.99. The other five bundles (Paper 1 Essentials, Paper 1 Complete, Paper 2 Complete, Paper 3 Essentials, and the Full OCR A-Level Library) are open for waitlist —
email Lak to be notified the moment each Payhip listing goes live. In the meantime, every topic in any bundle is available individually at £49.99.
If I buy a bundle, do I get future topics in it free?
Yes. Each bundle is sold as the complete set of its paper — buying the Paper 1 Complete bundle today gets you every Criminal Law topic (T1–T14), and every future Criminal Law topic added to the bundle free as it ships. The "All Criminal Law" bundle gets every future Criminal Law topic at no extra cost.
Should I buy single topics or wait for the bundle?
If you only need one topic, single topics at £49.99 are the fastest route. If you'll need most or all of a paper, the bundle saves 20-53%. If you're serious about the grade, honestly — book the tutoring instead: the £395 Paper Course includes every note for that paper free, plus 6 sessions with me for less than the Paper 1 Complete bundle alone. Existing single-topic purchases can't be retroactively rolled into a bundle, so plan ahead if you know you want multiple.
Is it really lifetime access?
Yes. Once you buy, the download link is yours forever, and you get every update to that topic (and bundle, where applicable) for free. There's no subscription, no expiry, and no rebilling.
What if I'm AQA, not OCR?
The core Criminal Law content is the same across boards — actus reus, mens rea, the leading cases. The OCR-specific elements (assessment-objective phrasing, paper structure tips) are flagged so AQA students can adapt easily.
What's the refund policy?
Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final — but if you have a genuine issue (file won't open, content error, technical problem),
email support and it gets fixed or refunded.
Can I share with a friend?
Each purchase is licensed to one student. Sharing files is a copyright breach and is monitored. If you and a friend both need access, both buy a copy — at £49.99 per topic it's a fraction of what a private tutor charges per hour.
