From Morgan
I’ve been studying with Alex for 10 months in preparation for a Master’s in Shakespeare Studies.
During this time, we’ve typically had hour-long sessions reviewing essays, including a 4000-word application essay on King Lear.
These weekly sessions have helped me stay consistent and motivated with my course preparation.
Alex has significantly helped me improve the argumentation, clarity, and sophistication of my writing.
Alex is professional, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking to enhance their essay writing skills.
I’m very thankful for his help and have thoroughly enjoyed sharing and discussing my essays.
We’ve covered a number of plays, spanning a wide range of topics and themes. For every essay, Alex has provided valuable feedback and helped me write essays I can be proud of.
Thank you for these very warm words, Morgan. It's been a real pleasure to work with you and I look forward to continuing.

My son has received online A level Classical Civilisation tution from Alex for about a month. The difference his lessons have made to my son have been remarkable. He has helped him understand how to articulate his ideas and arguments in a chronological and structured order.

I cannot recommend Alex enough if your child needs help with A level Classical Civilisation!

From charlotte
Alex is a truly exceptional tutor. He is both highly knowledgeable and adaptable and my daughter is receiving a genuinely well rounded education under his patient guidance. Primarily focused on the subject of literature, Alex delves into the rich philosophical, historical and political contexts and skilfully brings each extract and poem to life. Alex's weekly sessions have ignited a passion in my daughter and she looks forward each week to their lively discussions which are centred around a selection of texts.
Thank you Charlotte for these lovely words. It's a pleasure to work with your daughter, who is so engaged in her studies, and I look forward to continuing.
From ESTA
After getting a not so favourable result in History mock exams, it knocked my daughter’s confidence by a lot. So, I suggested to get a tutor to help her get that confidence back. It is not nice seeing your child going through this pressure and stress so you do what you can to help. We searched together and read reviews and in the end my daughter chose Alex. One thing with my daughter, if she doesn’t get on with a teacher or not learning or progressing, she will soon let me know and stop the sessions. We started with 5 sessions, and renewed for another 5, which will take her up to her A levels. She is back to her good self to the point she got two commendations in history in the last month. She is happy and so am I. Thank you Alex. As a parent I am very grateful for all you do to help our child.
Thank you Esta for these very warm words. It's been a pleasure to work with your daughter and I look forward to continuing in the coming days.
From Jonathan
Alex has been excellent. I hope to work with him more in the future.
Thanks Jonny. It's been a pleasure to work with you and I'd be delighted to continue in future.
From Mary Ann
Alex saved me from an essay crisis! I was in dire need of help right before class and Alexander swooped in to provide an in-depth walkthrough lesson; he went through the key talking points, concepts and historiography in a well-structured and concise way that anyone could understand… even me! He was very courteous and professional the entire time, I'm very impressed and I can't wait for our lessons in the future.
Thanks Mary Ann for these lovely words. It was a pleasure to help and I look forward to continuing.
From ioana
Alexander had tutor my daughter for her Classical Studies A Level. In 2 months he manage to strengthened her command of Level 4 grading criteria, from Level 3. My daughter struggled with essay writing. Although she had acquired the necessary material data to answer the questions it was still difficult for her to put them in good structure and fully focus on the the question with clear arguments. Working with Alexander help her to grasp the skills to improve her writing. We recommend Alexander skills for those who need to improve their writing skills. My daughter will continue to collaborate with him for History A Level aiming for a Level 5 grading criteria
Thank you for such lovely feedback, Ioana. It's been an absolute pleasure to tutor your daughter. She's worked with great intelligence and conscientiousness, getting better at her essay-writing writing all the time. Her enthusiasm for Classical Civ. has been a joy to see, and I look forward to working with her on her History papers in the coming months.

From Antonella
An excellent start - Alex is really responsive, has fantastic subject knowledge and is offering valuable advice on how to improve essay technique
From David
Alexander has been one of the most fantastic professionals I have ever worked with.
Not only has his support been of highest quality, he has also been highly conscientious to deliver support in short periods of time, and flexible to changing circumstances on my part.
In total I have worked with Alexander for around 9 months, and in that time my performance within my undergraduate degree has increased substantially. However, perhaps more importantly, my understanding of various skills core to my degree has drastically risen: effective prose, critical analysis and structural decision making.
He is a fantastic tutor and I will continue to work with him during my final year at university - which lies ahead.
Thank you David!
Those are lovely words. It's been very rewarding and great fun to work with a student who has put so much into their studies. I wish you every success and I look forward to continuing.

His input has hugely complemented her school studies, allowing her to present her knowledge in the most effective way in tests and exams. Always professional - in scheduling of sessions, punctuality, organisation etc Extremely approachable, great communication. In summary, we feel extremely lucky to have found him when we did.

From Dawn
Alex was of fantastic help to Amelia. I was concerned how tuition by telephone was going to work - but Alex was able to make the situation work and we feel the tuition was as beneficial as 'face to face' tuition. We are waiting for results, and are quietly confident - Thank you Alex!
From Joy
I am very pleased with Alex as a tutor. He is well organised, knowledgeable, and dedicated. In particular his ability to help structure information is just what my daughter needs and through this she has regained her interest and enjoyment of A level History. His experience and understanding are invaluable and his willingness to go that one step further in supporting my daughter with her college work is much appreciated. I'm very glad we found Alex and I would highly recommend him to others seeking a History tutor.
From Kristianna
Alex was extremely helpful during the course of my enquiries about history tuition. Although we did not arrange any lessons due to the distance involved I was very pleased with his co-operation and willingness to accommodate my needs.
Kristianna was clearly a committed student whom I would have liked to have given more help. Fortunately, it is now possible to make arrangements for Distance Learning where necessary and I am happy to discuss that option.
