Online English Literature Tutor Alex

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.
