Highly experienced tutor (Oxford degree, PhD) and published author specialising in English at GCSE and A-level.

Alex helped me with a wide range of things which included grammar and punctuation skills. The tasks she set helped me to improve the quality of my written work, not just in English but in other subjects as well. Alex was friendly and interesting. In the future if I have any more issues, I will go back.

I have improved my English drastically since I first came to lessons. They also made me appreciate English more, and helped me to understand what I was doing wrong and put it right. Thank you for your help!

Alex's resources as a working writer were invaluable to a Philosophy A level student. It was very useful to have someone with a wide range of knowledge in the subject that I didn't find in as much depth in my sixth form. Taught with exam technique, this left me feeling confident in my ability to write the best essay for my exam.

Alex managed to help me get from GCSE level to an A level standard in a very short time. When it came to the exams, her preparation for me was methodical and accurate. She has a huge knowledge of the subject, but is capable of conveying it in a way that an A level pupil can get the most out of it. I would strongly recommend Alex.

Alex was able to offer me advice that I had not been given before with regards exam technique. She really helped to build my confidence which enabled me to go into the exam knowing exactly how to answer any question I was faced with.

I cannot recommend her enough. My grade went up to an A and I now have the necessary grades for my preferred university course.

Thank you so much for the tutoring you gave me. You were a great help and my English grade in that unit improved by 33 marks - from a D to a high A! I am incredibly appreciative because now I can do the course I want to do at university.

Alex is a very caring person and is very enthusiastic in her teaching. She been tutoring me for a year now and my parents, my teacher and I have all seen an improvement in my English generally and also in my end-of-year tests. Alex is highly recommended.

Alex stepped in at very short notice to provide support for two of our students leading up to their A level exams, after we discovered that they were very poorly prepared on key texts. Her professional, calm and thorough approach helped them to feel confident and prepared; they could not have been happier with the support they received at such a crucial point in their studies.

Just thought I'd let you know that Peter got A* in English language mock and A in literature. Fantastic! Couldn't have done it without all your support. You have really boosted his confidence, which was quite low in this subject.

Thank you so much for your help! I got an A – 108 out of 120, the highest in the year!
