Online English Literature Tutor Alexandra

I am a fully qualified English Teacher (with a PGCE) with extensive experience in both the classroom and 1:1 tutoring. My first role in education was as an English Academic Mentor. The role often involved supporting SEND students in the classroom or through targeted interventions. Often, these students lacked confidence, and it was wonderful to see them grow and flourish in a 1:1 setting. As a classroom teacher, I have continued to develop my pedagogical approach and have gained an in-depth knowledge of both GCSE and A-Level exam specifications. I also have extensive experience mentoring students for Oxbridge, supporting them with both personal statements and interview prep. My teaching approach is characterised by patience, empathy and an openness to students’ ideas.
