Prayudi Wijaya
Hello,
My name is Prayudi. I am a sworn legal translator based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Aside from translation, I’ve been teaching legal translation and legal English since 2019, mostly to local language and law students.
With hands-on experience in legal documents, meetings, and courtroom interpreting — and certifications such as TOLES Advanced (Band 1), Certified Professional Contract Drafting (CPCD), and Business Law Competence Assessor — I aim to support international lawyers and students, especially from Asia and other non-English-speaking countries, in learning legal English for bilingual contracts and TOLES Foundation or Higher preparation.
My sessions are flexible and available through:
- one-on-one tutoring
- small group classes
- online or in-person sessions (Yogyakarta area)
Feel free to email me — I’d be happy to discuss what you need and how I can help.

Cześć! I’m a TOLES trainer and Sworn Translator with over 20 years of experience helping Polish legal professionals feel confident and prepared when working in English. I’ve worked with lawyers, judges, prosecutors, and law students across Poland – and also with international students from Turkey, Ukraine, and Germany.
In my TOLES preparation courses, I focus on helping candidates understand and use English legal terminology, especially the difficult vocabulary of the common law system that appears throughout the TOLES exams. Rather than general legal skills or practical speaking exercises, my lessons are designed to help you demonstrate precise knowledge of legal English — the kind expected by international law firms, in-house legal departments, and on the TOLES exam itself.
I make it a point to engage every student in the classroom so that everyone benefits from the material and builds confidence in handling contracts, legal texts, and exam-style tasks in English.
I hold a Master’s degree in English from the University of Warsaw (specializing in British and American culture and media), and I completed postgraduate studies in legal translation and interpreting. I’ve also worked in international business, including at the British Embassy in Warsaw – experience that gives me insight into both legal language and professional communication in English.
If you’re preparing for TOLES and want to really understand legal English vocabulary and structure, I’d be happy to help. Feel free to contact me directly.

Nicola Gabb
I graduated in Law and European Studies and completed the Legal Practice Course at the College of Law (York) before working in corporate and compliance law for investment banks, healthcare insurance and non-governmental agencies.
I retrained as an English teacher and, relatively recently, was asked to help some nurses to pass their OET exams in order to work as qualified medical professionals in the UK. I found I thoroughly enjoyed teaching professionals and that my skills and experience in classroom teaching are extremely helpful in identifying gaps in knowledge. I can then address any gaps with highly effective and targeted learning strategies to guide my students to success.
With a strong background and experience in law, proofreading, legal writing and an eagle eye for grammar, I can provide targeted, practical, clear, and engaging teaching for deep learning that accelerates progress and equips you not just for exams but for a lifetime. What’s more, I know how to make it fun with quizzes, mock interviews, negotiations, drafting and trials to reflect real-world and real-life situations and challenges.
I will happily prepare you for Foundation and Higher TOLES exams or cater to in-house requirements, individual or group. Whatever your needs, my response will be tailored to you personally to develop highly proficient legal English and understanding of the English legal system. Whether you want to get ahead before beginning your law degree or want to develop your career, I can help.
