About me

Hi, I’m Louise Kulbicki, a British legal English teacher with a first-class law degree (LLB) (London Metropolitan University) and a master’s degree in law (LLM) (University College London). I’ve been teaching English and legal English since 2013, helping lawyers and law students around the world develop the language and practical skills they need for their professional lives.

I’ve taught at universities, bar associations and law firms across Europe, the Middle East, South America, and Asia, including the University of Bergamo and the Kyoto Bar Association. My teaching focuses on developing legal English alongside practical skills such as contract drafting, negotiation, legal writing, presentations and professional communication.

I’ve also managed large-scale legal English training programmes, including a year-long programme for approximately 100 trainee lawyers in Oman. I’m a former board member of the European Legal English Teachers’ Association (EULETA) and a registered TOLES trainer and examiner.

In 2017, I founded Study Legal English, initially as a free podcast (Study Legal English Podcast). In 2026, I moved entirely to YouTube and expanded the website’s range of online resources.

I’m also the co-author, with Natasha Costello, of Practical English Language Skills for Lawyers: Improving Your Legal English  (Routledge, 2023), which helps lawyers and law students develop essential legal English and professional communication skills.

Today, I offer personalised online and face-to-face training alongside the courses and resources available on Study Legal English.
