Personal Description:
I am a published author and an award-winning scholar with a passion for learning and teaching. I received an A1/H1 in English in my own Leaving Certificate, and I went on to graduate from UCC with First Class Honours in both English and Philosophy. I am the recipient of the UCC Patricia Coughlan Award for the best essay written in 2017.
While studying at UCC in 2017, my poetry and prose was published by UCC and Cork City in the anthology 'Cornerstone', and in the upcoming 'Atlantic Currents' to be published in April 2020.
Tutoring Experience:
I chaired and participated in several highly-effective study groups throughout my final year in UCC. I have previous experience with providing private tuition in English, Philosophy, computing, editing, and essay writing. One of my roles at my current workplace entails mentoring several dozen employees with the aim of improving their writing capabilities.
Additionally, I have extensive experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds, ages, and situations, from highly-successful professionals to students with learning difficulties.
Approach to Grinds:
I tailor each lesson to the specific needs and goals of the student, whether that is to improve their grades, become more conversant with exam techniques, or to simply increase their knowledge and confidence within a specific area.

Alex's Feedback

If you want to learn and improve, Alex is your perfect tutor.
The Skype sessions are super practical!
I am very sorry you have chosen to retract your original 5/5 rating. I am also very sorry you chose to miss multiple sessions, arrive late on multiple sessions, act in an abusive manner towards me, and ultimately decide not to pay me.
I care very much about my students and helping them achieve their goals, but I cannot tolerate being consistently treated with such disrespect.
I sincerely wish you the best for the future, and I hope you succeed in your studies. I really did want to help you achieve the grade you were looking for, and I am very sad things turned out this way.
He is also more than happy to help you reach your full potential.
