Information about Aleksei
Hi there!
I`m Aleksei and I`ve just graduated from King`s College, Cambridge in Social and Political Science. I achieved a First Class with Distinction and the top mark in my year (out of over 200 students). In my first year I studied Classics, and I studied Latin, French, Spanish and History to A2 level.
I feel that motivation is key to exam success. As my school did not offer Latin as part of the curriculum I pursued the subject independently; similarly, changing degree course to Social and Political Science in my second year created the challenge of keeping up with my intense second year workload as well as gaining a conceptual and empirical grounding which my peers had had an extra year to absorb. I am keen to pass on this motivation I`ve had to generate myself to my tutees.
There`s nothing I like more than seeing the successes of my tutees, and I find tutoring an incredibly rewarding experience! If you`re interested in arranging a session then please don`t hesitate to contact me!
Availability: I`m available for Skype tuition since I am currently based in Oxford.
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: All in all, I have had over 250 hours of experience in teaching young children, teenagers and adults to KS3, GCSE and A level, as well as adult learning. The range of pupils I`ve worked with, what with their differing abilities and needs, has really helped me develop as a tutor, and I`m only too ready to take on the next challenge!
I have helped two students with the Oxbridge application process, one of whom was successful.
I have mentored two students in French and History AS, both of whom achieved A grades.
At GCSE, my two tutees predicted D grades achieved As in French and Spanish, and my history tutee also achieved an A. I have also tutored iGCSE French, and my current tutee has achieved A*s in her controlled assessments.
I have also had experience in tutoring younger students. I am presently tutoring KS3 Latin/Classics, and have been teaching English as a foreign language to two pupils. I am also presently teaching French to an adult learner.
In addition, I spent two years volunteering fortnightly at a disabled children`s play scheme.

The support and help my daughter received from Aleksei was exceptional - clear, structured and spot-on. He followed up all of his sessions with a written progress report detailing areas covered in the lesson etc. He put my daughter at ease, encouraged her to think for herself and how to prepare and plan for exam success.I would thoroughly recommend Aleksei.

Excellent tutor, extremely thorough, explained to my son exactly what was required to hit the top marks. My son achieved an A in a subject which he was weak in and had not done well in 1 controlled assessment. Bright and explains in a simple way what is required, wish I had known him early.
