About Me

Eton-educated Oppidan Scholar, studied at Oxford, University of California and School of Oriental & African Studies. Has PhD in Economics and History. 17 years of teaching and tutoring experience from Common Entrance to Masters Level.
My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my desire to create this type of atmosphere where students can meet their full potential. I will provide a safe environment where students are invited to share their ideas and take risks.
I believe that there are five essential elements that are conducive to learning. (1) The teacher's role is to act as a guide. (2) Students should be able to have choices and let their curiosity direct their learning. (3) Students need the opportunity to practice skills in a safe environment. (4) Technology must be incorporated effectively.
Three former clients gave the following testimonials:
“Alex was a helpful and reliable tutor who helped my son achieve good grades and above all achieve a deeper understanding and appreciation of the subject. So much so - that he has decided to study economics and business at Bath University, where he was recently admitted.”

“Alex was an excellent tutor to my son. He was supportive, professional and thorough in his tutoring and was always available to offer extra support and help when needed. In addition, he was unfailingly reliable and punctual throughout the academic year. It was a pleasure to meet and work with such an exceptional tutor and individual.”

“Dr Wearmouth provided an intensive period of tuition for my son J-- in preparation for his successful interview to St Catherine's College, Cambridge to study Economics. My son found his tutorials very helpful and enjoyable.”
