About Alex
- What kind of experience do you have?
Before graduating from the LSE I worked as a private music tutor for ten years, teaching a variety of ages, abilities, and personalities. During this time I prepared students for graded exams (1-8) and GCSE / A-level exams with consistently excellent results.
I also have extensive experience as a tutee - I taught myself English, Philosophy, and RS at A-level with the help of private tutors, scoring 100% UMS in many of my modules. Hence, I know what makes a good tutor and what is required for exam success.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
No.
- Where and with whom did you train?
University of Oxford (2016-18)
LSE (2013-16)

I am a postgraduate student at the University of Oxford offering customised tuition in English, Philosophy, and Religious Studies.

Religious Studies
I can also help prepare students for university entrance interviews and provide advice on writing effective personal statements.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a First Class degree in Philosophy from the LSE, where I attained the best exam results in my year for numerous courses, including European Literature, Comparative Literature, and Global Literature.
I am currently studying for an MSt in Literature and Arts at the University of Oxford.
- How much do you charge?
I charge £40 per hour including travel.
- Where do you teach?
I am happy to teach at my home or the student's home.
- When are you available?
I currently divide my week between Oxford and Essex. Thus, I have a limited yet flexible schedule. Please contact me to confirm availability.
- Which ages and levels do you teach?
GCSE level up to and including undergraduate level.
- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
GCSE, A-level, and university exams.
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I am happy to tutor over Skype or FaceTime. Alternatively, I can provide essay feedback via email.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Each student is unique, and I aim to personalise each lesson accordingly, working at a pace that is intellectually stimulating and exciting.
I believe that any subject can be relevant and interesting; my objective is to discover an angle that really engages the tutee. This might entail, for example, analysing a fashion magazine or popular novel to cultivate close reading skills, or looking at philosophical issues in the media.
Where appropriate, I practise the Oxford tutorial method, combining regular essay writing with one-to-one feedback - a proven means of developing and refining the student's argumentative ability and essay technique. This is crucial for achieving the highest grades, where one's thesis must be presented in a well structured and carefully argued essay.
