About Me

Hello!

I'm Alex, an English tutor, graduate and professional writer with a passion for language, literature and learning.

I've been tutoring professionally since 2015. Currently, I tutor for the National Tutoring Program, an initiative set up to deliver high-quality tuition to students in schools across the UK.

I graduated from Falmouth University in 2018 with a high first in English. Since then, in addition to my online and in-school tutoring, I have worked as an educational support worker and teaching assistant for schools across Cornwall helping children with a diverse range of learning requirements, including SEN.

I've worked as a professional content writer and copywriter since 2019 for clients across the world.

I'm a published creative writer, with poetry published in journals in the UK, US and Australia, and I have a chapbook of poems out with Earthbound Press.

I have a wealth of classroom and tutoring experience; a lifetime's worth of knowledge in English language and literature; and I am genuinely passionate about my subject-- and that's what makes the difference for my students.

Tutor Experience

I've been tutoring and working in educational settings for over 8 years. Currently, I am part of the National Tutoring Program, an initiative that works closely with schools to deliver high quality tuition to students across the country. As part of that initiative, I have worked with students online and in-person across the UK, covering English language and Literature GCSE. I have worked in one-on-one settings, and I have taught groups of up to 6 students at a time.

During my time as a tutor, I've helped dozens of students improve their grades drastically, from GCSE to undergraduate level. I know all of the current GCSE, AS and A level exam board syllabuses intimately, and I make sure to keep up to date with the latest teaching innovations and techniques. I still work in schools as a TA and in-person tutor from time to time, so I know first-hand what examiners are looking for from students today.

My greatest pleasure is watching my students go on to get the grades they need to enter college, university or whatever educational or professional path they have set their sights on. I've also helped undergraduate students plan, structure and write assignments and dissertations with excellent results.
