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.

Last exam cycle's best results: two students jumped from 6 to 9 in language and literature; one jumped from 4 to 7. Please take a look at my reviews below to see some of my previous success stories!
While I focus heavily on exam cohorts, I also offer foundational support for KS2 students, frequently mentoring learners all the way through to their A-Levels.
I graduated from Falmouth University with a First-Class degree in English in 2018. Alongside private tutoring, I am also a widely published poet and creative writing coach.

Client Reviews
Alex is helping me with my novel and doing it superbly.
Christopher - Creative Writing
Alex is homing in on my novel in a most productive way. Very insightful. Thank you.
Christopher - Creative Writing
I am very satisfied with Alex's approach. He knows exactly what we want to achieve, he doesn't ask us what we want to discuss or what to prepare for, he focuses on achieving the goal and sets requirements for the student.
Marketa - English Language
We don't have any real results in the form of grades at school yet, but we absolutely love Alex's approach. He is goal-oriented, realistic, and honest.
